Abstract:

Traffic accidents are one of the major problems for many developing countries. In literature there are many studies that evaluate traffic accidents from different points of view, the number of work related to traffic accidents in which municipal buses are frequently used in urban public transport is quite limited. This work was prepared to contribute to the filling of this emptiness in literature. In the study, the factors affecting the traffic accidents that the municipal buses used in Izmir in a year were analyzed using logistical regression. In the first part of the study, the factors affecting injured/deadly traffic accidents were determined by dual logistics regression. The season and the driver’s experience have changed significantly. In the second part, the accidents are grouped according to the total costs of the institution and the factors affecting the material size of the accident are analysed by ordinary regression and the factors that significantly affect the size of the accident according to the model obtained are determined. Finally, all the findings obtained are generally evaluated and interpreted.
