Abstract

Traffic accidents are an ongoing safety issue. The aim of this paper is to use a statistical apparatus to describe and model the random variable that is the daily number of accidents. The data on traffic accidents come from the database of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic from 2012–2021 and are described by time and location data. Analysis of variance for a random variable with a Poisson probability distribution was used in the modelling. The resulting analyses describe the evolution of the daily number of accidents with the deployment of firefighters in each region of the Czech Republic. The work that deals with the modelling of the number of traffic accidents, as a random variable with a Poisson probability distribution, using GLM methods is unique in the Czech Republic.
