A NTUA Diploma Thesis titled “Road Crashes Analysis In Greek Islands” was recently presented by Nikitas Maratos Filippidis. For this purpose, data on monthly arrivals, crashes, and fatalities were collected for 38 Greek islands, which were then divided into four groups based on their geographical location. Subsequently, statistical correlations were examined through the development of Generalized Linear Models and Random Forest models using the R programming language. The results showed that arrivals on an island are positively correlated with the number of accidents and fatalities recorded during that period. Additionally, while arrivals were correlated with accidents across each group of islands examined, the results differed, possibly due to better road conditions on islands with high arrival numbers but low accident rates.
