| dc.description.abstract | Ethiopia is a country with the largest number of traffic accidents and fatality rate, and the share of the city of Addis Ababa is quite big (more than 60%). Pedestrians and the disabled, children and the aged in particular, are the major victims of these accidents. This study attempts to identify the variables that mainly determine the number of injuries and to describe the impact of Driver’s Sex, Age, Driving Experience, Educational Background, Vehicle Years, Vehicle Category (plate code), Vehicle type (Automobile, taxi, Truck…etc), and Place of accident (Organization, Religious institutions, Market…etc) on the number of traffic injuries per accident. Poisson regression analysis is used in this study. Findings of this study have shown that Drivers’ Age, Educational background and Place of accident significantly affect the number of injuries per accident. Drivers who are in the age group of 18-30 are liable for most of the accidents including the sever ones. Drivers with elementary school level of education take the major responsibility for the increased number of injuries per accident. With regards to place of accident, residential areas are where the highest mean of injuries per accident is attained | en_US |
