A Diploma Thesis titled 'The combined effect of economic crisis, traffic and weather conditions on road safety in Athens' was presented by Eleni Ziaka in July 2014. Data was collected on a monthly basis for the period 2006-2011 in Attica for
victims in road accidents (motorcyclists & pedestrians) including rainfall and temperature, traffic volume
and speed in selected arterials and police reports
(use of seatbelt and helmet, driving under the influence
of alcohol and speed limit violations) and six lognormal regression
models were developed. Results show that congestion is statistically
significant
in every model and speed is statistically significant only in models
with seriously injured and killed people. Also, it was found that an
increase in
temperature and decrease in rainfall increases the number of casualties
and especially the seriously injured and killed people. Moreover,
influence of
speed limit violations and driving under the influence of alcohol is
statistically significant. Finally, it is seen that there is a decrease
trend in
the number of casualties during the economic crisis. ΄
