Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are globally acknowledged as increasing threat to society, because they can affect many lives when they result in severe injury or fatality. In the State of Qatar RTCs are getting more awareness and attention, aiming to improve the traffic safety in the country. This study is an exploratory research providing different analyses of the crash data for seven consecutive years, ranging from 2010 to 2016, which is obtained from the Traffic Department in the Ministry of Interior for the State of Qatar. The objectives aim to evaluate the trend of RTC rate over time and create understanding of the influencing factors related to RTC frequency. Time series analyses show an increasing trend of RTCs leading to severe injury and a slight decreasing trend for fatal RTCs. Secondly, different RTC severity levels are related to diverse RTC causes. Furthermore, the results revealed that crashes with severe injuries or fatality for drivers as well as pedestrians are found to be significantly affected by seasonal weather variations, with the highest vulnerability in winter and autumn season. This study therefore suggests the implementation of strategies to prioritize the traffic safety of road users during the crash-prone winter and autumn seasons.
道路交通事故(RTC)是全球公认的对社会日益严重的威胁,因为它们可能导致严重伤害或死亡,从而影响许多人的生命。在卡塔尔国,RTC 越来越受到关注,旨在提高该国的交通安全。本研究是一项探索性研究,对 2010 年至 2016 年连续七年的事故数据进行了不同的分析,这些数据是从内政部交通部门获得的。研究目的是评估 RTC 发生率随时间的变化趋势,并了解与 RTC 频率相关的影响因素。时间序列分析表明,RTC 导致重伤的趋势呈上升趋势,致命 RTC 的趋势略有下降。其次,不同的 RTC 严重程度与不同的 RTC 原因有关。此外,研究结果表明,司机和行人重伤或死亡的事故明显受到季节性天气变化的影响,冬季和秋季的脆弱性最高。因此,本研究建议实施战略,优先考虑在易发生事故的冬季和秋季对道路使用者的交通安全。
