Abstract

This research purposed to determine the characteristics and timing of occurrence of road accidents at the east of Thailand from 2010 to 2015 with cluster analysis. The results of research displayed three clusters of provinces for the occurrence of road accidents. Cluster 1 indicated large number of road accidents (Chanthaburi, Chonburi and Rayong). Cluster 2 denoted moderate number of road accidents (Chachoengsao, Trat and Prachinburi). Cluster 3 was Sa Kaeo representing small number of road accidents. The particular provinces with large number of road accidents were then classified on timing of the occurrence into three groups; December, April and the remainder, respectively explaining with high, less and moderate number of road accidents.               Keyword: road accidents, the east of Thailand, cluster analysis
