Road accidents prediction modeling at intersections

Abstract

The issue of road accidents is an increasing problem in developing countries. This could be due to increasing road traffic/vehicle occupancy. This has been increasing over years. Regulating traffic on roads is an important task. There by reducing accidents in accident prone zones. The accident was drastically increased over a decade from 4% to 31%. This is a alarming issue. The analysis and identification of such road accident prone zones is essential to reduce the accidents. A model was developed based on intersection parameters and no. of accidents by regression analysis.
