In order to determine the relationship and interrelationships between accident variables, the statistical analysis method used is correlation. There are two criteria highlighted for correlation analysis, namely whether the existing sample data provide sufficient evidence that there is a relationship between variables. And second, if there is a relationship, how strong is the relationship between these variables. The variables tested were the type of accident, the cause of the accident, the behavior of the driver that caused the accident, the type of vehicle, the time of the accident, and the profession of the perpetrator of the accident. Effectiveness The use of statistical analysis methods by the Padang Pariaman Police Traffic Unit as an Effort to Reduce Traffic Accident Rates is already effective. It can be seen that there is a decrease in the number of accidents, although in 2019 there was an increase but in 2020 there was a decrease in the number of accidents, namely 284 cases from 363 cases in 2019.
