- W2465395873 abstract "Road traffic accidents of varying degrees that have occurred in Ghana both in the past and present have resulted in several road fatalities. These has led to the loss of lives, property, broken homes, and as well as leaving behind shattered families and communities, among others despite the indispensable role the road transport sector plays in the economy. This paper sort to explore the most parsimonious and robust linear model for the estimation and forecasting road traffic accidents statistically. This was achieved through the examination of the relationship between road traffic accidents, human and vehicular population in Ghana using linear regression models. Empirical results showed the existence of significant positive relationship between road traffic accidents, vehicle population and human population, with respective correlation coefficients as R1=0.855, R2=0.853, and R3=0.855 indicating a very strong positive association between them. The simple linear regression model between road traffic accidents and vehicle population was adjudged the most robust and parsimonious model based on model diagnostics (residual analysis with plots) coupled with tests of hypothesis. The paper therefore concludes that vehicular population is a very key variable that should not be left out in the policy formulation that would deal with curbing road traffic accidents in Ghana based on available statistics and results. The road transport sector plays a key role in the socio-economic development of every economy. Not only does it facilitate the smooth transportation humans, goods and services from source(s) to respective destination(s), but also serve as a huge source of employment which is a critical economic indicator to development. The sector has been bedevilled with quite a number of goring tendencies through the occurrence of traffic accidents in Ghana. The spate increase in these forms of road traffic accidents has therefore become a worrying and growing concern to most Ghanaians in recent times. This is as a result of the tremendous negative effects of road traffic accidents on human lives, properties and the environment. The National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) was therefore established by an Act of Parliament (Act 567) in 1999 with the mission of promoting best road safety practices for all categories of road users through the vision of making Ghana a country with the safest road transportation system in Africa.
