Accident Costs in Regard to the Length Of Motorway – Croa an Experience

The basic objec ve of this research is to explore the contribu on of development of motorway networks to minimiza on of accident costs. Results of the study are based on Croa an experience. The possibility of a sta s cally nega ve correla on between grada on in the total motorway length and traffi c accident costs will be inves gated through observa on of varia ons in the total length of motorway and the number and type of accidents that occured. Diff erent scien fi c methods were applied in the research, including the method of induc on and deduc on, the method of abstrac on and the method of correla on and regression analysis. The resul ng knowlegde may be of help to traffi c authori es, both on micro and macro levels.
