الملخص

Road accidents are in an increasing rate worldwide and in Malaysia. In Malaysia, news cars are registered and being used in the streets thus, this will result in congestion and high rates of accidents. Based on Malaysian statistics, every 11 minutes one accident reported and at least one person dies every 2 and half hours in Malaysia. This paper aims to develop a model which represents the relationship between the time and the number of dead people in the Penang Island in Malaysia. The model developed shows very high correlation between the time and the number of dead people which is equal to 0.779.
