Title | Reducing road-traffic accidents on African roads through a computer simulation programming approach |
Authors | Oluwagbemi, O. |
Abstract | The mortality rate in the West African sub-region of the world is undoubtedly very high. In Africa for example, the prevalent incidences of road-traffic accidents has been responsible for the untimely death of many innocent citizens. Also, particularly disturbing is the high number of sudden deaths scenarios that are recorded yearly among patients on an emergency transfer held up within terrible road-traffic congestions. Although this particular road-accident phenomenon is not just limited to West African Countries, it is particularly disturbing that Africa seems to be among the few remaining regions of the world where a permanent antidote or a solution approach is yet to be found and adequately implemented for the full benefits of the victims of such unpleasant circumstances. Within the Lagos metropolis in Nigeria, for example, many lives have been lost as a result of roadtraffic accidents. As a result of this, there is the need to reduce the numbers of deaths of innocent citizens on West African highways through a simulated programming approach which will ultimately help to adequately cater for the security, safety and welfare of the African people and also reduce the mortality rate within the African continent. Thus, in this research work, a simulated programming approach will be applied to reducing road-traffic accidents on West African high-ways. |
