Abstract

This article uses social exclusion indicators, combined with traditional data such as: fatal victims per inhabitant and per vehicle, to perform statistical analysis of road traffic accidents in all the Brazilian state capitals. The combined set of data characterizes the accident causal factors and makes a parallel between extreme poverty and the occurrence of accidents. It can be observed that the capital cities that have the highest social exclusion index ratings are also the ones that have the highest accident mortality rates.
