Spatial Statistical Analysis of the Traffic Accidents

26,000 people died on the roads of Europe in 2015, which is 5 500 less than in 2010. However, compared to the situation in 2014, no improvement could be experienced in this field at European Union level. Moreover, it was stated that 644 people died and 5575 suffered serious injuries as a result of road accidents on HU road network in 2015. The objective of this study is to analyse the spatial clusters of traffic accidents on the secondary Hungarian road network in line with the No. 2008/96/EC Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council. Spatial statistical methods were used to analyse the statistical distribution of the traffic accidents. The investigated network was the sections of the secondary road network, while the investigated time horizon was between 2010-2012.
