Abstract: Road transportation remains the dominant mode of transporting goods and commuters in Ghana. Over the last couple of decades, the Government of Ghana has aggressively pursued a comprehensive road infrastructural development and maintenance programmes with the aim of improving the entire road network in response to increase in travel and transportation. This is as a result of growth and expansion of economic activity with raised consumption levels of the people. Consequently, this improvement is aimed at reducing the menace and the carnage on roads in the country. Unfortunately, with the increasing road network, the number of fatalities has also been on the rise leading to great concerns for road safety. The purpose of this paper is to come out with a predictive mathematical model on the trend of Road Traffic Accident (RTA) occurrence in Ghana. Descriptive data in the public domain from statutory bodies especially the Motor Traffic and Transport Directorate (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service on RTAs together with a host of academic papers on the subject matter were used as sources of information. The result of the sixth order polynomial analysis showed an r-squared value of 0.957 which was statistically significant inferring that the model has a 95.7% accuracy of predicting road traffic accidents in Ghana. It was also evident that road traffic accidents significantly increased with increased stretch of roads (km), absence of road safety officials and the blatant disregard for road safety measures aimed at ensuring safety on the roads. Based on the findings, recommendations were advised on how to reduce the phenomenon of traffic accidents in Ghana particularly in the Greater Accra region.

Abstract: In this article will do a’ concept generalization n-gon. By renouncing the metrics in much axiomatic geometry, the need arises for a new label to this concept. In this paper will use the meaning of n-vertexes. As you know in affine and projective plane simply set of points, blocks and incidence relation, which is argued in [1], [2], [3]. In this paper will focus on affine plane. Will describe the meaning of the similarity n-vertexes. Will determine the addition of similar three-vertexes in Desargues affine plane, which is argued in [1], [2], [3], and show that this set of three-vertexes forms an commutative group associated with additions of three-vertexes. At the end of this paperare making a generalization of the meeting of similarity n-vertexes in Desargues affine plane, also here it turns out to have a commutative group, associated with additions of similarity n-vertexes.

Abstract: In this article, the improved (G’/G)-expansion method has been implemented to generate travelling wave solutions, where G(η) satisfies the second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation. To show the advantages of the method, the Generalized Burgers-Fisher equation has been investigated. Nonlinear partial differential equations have many potential applications in mathematical physics and engineering sciences. Some of our solutions are in good agreement with already published results for a special case and others are new. The solutions in this work may express a variety of new features of waves. Furthermore, these solutions can be valuable in the theoretical and numerical studies of the considered equation.
