Road traffic accidents can be defined as “An accident that occurred on a road open to a public traffic; resulting in personal injury, damages to the property and loss of life in which at least one moving vehicle was involved.†Thus, road traffic accident is collisions between vehicles, between vehicles and pedestrians, between vehicles and animals, or between vehicles and geographical or architectural obstacles. Accident prone location should be identified so the accident can be reduced with proper action on the sever locations. This study is of better relevance in this context for mitigating accident problems on city roads through systematic identification, analysis and measure of accident prone stretches. Based on Accident Severity Index(ASI) method the top most three accident prone stretches are identified. |
