Abstract

Losses due to road accidents have increased at an alarming rate for the last decade in India. The causative factors for road accidents and injuries are namely vehicular traffic, road and road users. However, prioritization of the factors which leads to accidents is a tedious task. Moreover, the road crashes do not occur uniformly on the entire road network. Accidents tend to cluster around certain junctions and locations called accident black spots. Hence, the identification of such locations is of significant importance. This study aims to identify the accident prone zones within the study stretch of NH-7, in state of Punjab using Accident Severity Index. For the study purpose the accident data from 2012 to 2016 was collected and Blackspots were identified and remedial measures are suggested.
