| Summary: | Road accident is a predominant agenda that keep increases over the years. It has been also reported as among the death contributors worldwide, which requires an urgent respond from all countries around the world. Therefore, to overcome this issue, a comprehensive understanding on the reasons behind the occurrence of road accident is required. This review paper aimed to investigate the determinants of road accident specifically on the environmental factors. A systematic review process was conducted through five academic databases of Emerald, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science and Wiley Online Library. A total of 2462 findings were identified through database searching process. After several screening and reviewing processes, a total of 45 studies were included in this review. The results of the review indicated that bad/adverse weather and night time driving were the most common environmental factors contributing to road accident. Based on the findings, appropriate countermeasures can be outlined to curb these issues. |
