Materials and Methods: In this study, using the statistics of traffic injuries between April 2009 and March 2012 in Golestan, Mazandaran, Gilan and Ardebil provinces, they were referred to forensic medicine using the Jenkins Boxing Methodology, one of the most advanced methods Forecasting and future studies in the field of health systems, predicted the number of injuries by province, for the years 1395 to 1398.

Results: The results of the study showed that the appropriate time series pattern for predicting Golestan injuries, ARIMA (4,2,4), Mazandaran ARIMA (3,1,5), Gilan ARIMA (3,1,4) and Ardibil ARIMA (5, 1,2). Also, the average percentage of absolute error for Golestan province was 0.114, Mazandaran province was 0.064, Guilan province was 0.078 and Ardabil province was 0.1250.
