TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Road traffic fatalities in Saudi Arabia JO - IATSS research A1 - Bener, Abdulbari A1 - Ofosu, J. B. SP - 35 EP - 38 VL - 15 IS - 1 N2 - The knowledge of accident rates in the country provides a useful tool for a comprehensive analysis of their causes as well as for their prevention. Smeed devised a formula that estimates the road traffic fatality is the country by using the population and the number of registered vehicles of a particular country. This paper shows that Smeed's formula leads to a remarkably low estimation of traffic fatalities in Saudi Arabia. A much more realistic formula for estimating road traffic fatalities in Saudi Arabia is given.
