Abstract

We analyze a data set collected from FRSC Ojodu command on road traffic accident using time series approach. The data collected spanned the period between 1989 to 2008. Our analysis revealed a positive cubic trend of number of accidents on time. The best model was identified through the criteria for AIC & SIC. These two model selection methods agreed on AR (1) as being the best model for the data. Various results obtained from this study indicated an increasing trend (though not linear) spate in road accidents in Nigeria.
