أثر الأمطار على حوادث الطرق في إقليم البطنان بليبيا

Abstract EN

Rain is one of the climatic elements that exert a great influence on transportation and communication activity in any region of the world.

It can be said that heavy rainfall is a determinant of the transportation process, as it leads to a significant decrease in the visibility of the vehicle driver and road users alike, as well as its impact.

It is clear and great in the ways of transportation, as it leads to its sinking and the extinction of its facilities such as sidewalks and resting places, as it leads to damage to the directional and traffic signs and the disruption of their lighting poles.

The study proved that there is a very close and strong correlation between the number of days of rainfall, amount of rain and the number of irrigated accidents during the month, and the strength of the correlation ranged between strong to very strong and almost completely direct correlation during some months.

The correlation reached its maximum value during the month of April, as the more it rains during the dry times of the year, the greater its impact on the occurrence of irrigated accidents, when the soil is dry and the rain is heavy and sudden, which increases its impact on the occurrence of more traffic accidents.
