Road Accident Analysis And Engineering Measurement

Abstract

In academia the study of road accidents and road safety is undertaken in many different ways in many different faculties and disciplines across the engineering and physical sciences and the economic and social sciences, from transport and geography to psychology, media, health and education.  Each discipline focuses differently and on distinct aspects of transport safety problems, yet, simultaneously each discipline may derive research that is generally interesting and useful across the board.  Road traffic accidents are more common in urban than rural areas. About 30% of all accidents occur in the metropolitan cities of Bangalore, Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. Road accidents cause 1 death every 9 minutes that is 160 per day. The accidents in general and the road accidents in particular have increased phenomenally in the past few decades. Proper study is regarding the road accident may reduce the accidents in future.
