In this paper a heuristic trend predictor is proposed based on fuzzy time series forecasting model. The model will uses genetic algorithm for adjusting interval length to get improved results. The proposed method will be applied on car road accidents causalities data of Belgium and hopefully will get better results than many other previous methods. © 2012 IEEE. %C Kuala Lumpur %O cited By 2; Conference of 2012 International Conference on Computer and Information Science, ICCIS 2012 - A Conference of World Engineering, Science and Technology Congress, ESTCON 2012 ; Conference Date: 12 June 2012 Through 14 June 2012; Conference Code:93334 %D 2012 %A T.A.
