Abstract: The number of motor vehicles on road increased spectacularly which causing major social and transportation problems such as death and economic losses. Eradication of accident blackspots is a crucial part of the road safety approach. So, this issue informed the quest to study and identify the accidental black spot in the context of NH 6. The stretch of 35 km on NH 6 near Pune was considered to identify the black spot. Accident blackspot locations were distinguished through the accident severity index (ASI) method by employing two years of accident data. These identified black spots were prioritized based on their final severity index score. The two most vulnerable black spots out of nine were selected for further analysis and countermeasure process. Conclusively, the accident severity-based framework can effectively correlate the nature of the accident with the type of casualty to provide detailed and accurate black spot location. Keywords: Black Spots, Accident Severity Index (ASI), Black Spot Prioritization, Traffic Volume, Highway, Countermeasures.


Road accidents are a vital problem in our country for various reasons. According to WHO reports, approximately 1.25 million people died each year, and more than 50 million people injured in road accidents all over the world.

Road safety is the main problem in developing countries. Every year, millions of people die in road traffic accidents, resulting in huge losses of humankind and the economy. This study focuses on the road traffic accident analysis and identification of black spots on the Lahore-Islamabad Highway M-2. Official data of road traffic accidents were collected from National Highway and Highway Police (NH & MP) Pakistan. The data was digitized on MS Excel and Origin Pro. The accident Point weightage (APW) method was employed to identify the black spots and rank of the top ten black spots. The analysis shows that the trend of road traffic accidents on M-2 was characterized by a high rate of fatal accidents of 35.3%. Human errors account for 66.8% as the major contributing factors in road traffic accidents, while vehicle errors (25.6%) and environmental factors (7.6%) were secondary and tertiary contributing factors. The main causes of road traffic accidents were the dozing on the wheel (27.9%), the careless driving (24.6%), tyre burst (11.7%), and the brakes failure (7.4%). Kallar Kahar (Salt Range) was identified as a black spot (223 km, 224 km, 225 km, 229 km, and 234 km) due to vehicle brake failure. The human error was a major contributory factor in road traffic accidents, therefore public awareness campaign on road safety is inevitable and use of the dozen alarm to overcome dozing on the wheel. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091629 Full Text: PDF

Road accidents are one of the causes of disability, injury and death. As per the latest road accident data released by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), the total number of accidents increased by 2.5 percent from 4,89,400 in 2014 to 5,01,423 in 2015. The analysis reveals that about 1,374 accidents and 400 deaths take place every day. Every single year, it has been estimated that over three lakh persons die and 10-15 million persons are injured in road accidents throughout the world. According to the analyses, statistics of global accident indicate that in developing countries, the rate of fatality per licensed vehicle is very high as compared to that of industrialized countries. A road stretch of about 500 metres in length in which either ten fatalities or five road accidents (involving grievous injuries/fatalities) took place during last three calendar years, on National Highways is considered as a road accident black spot according to MoRTH, Government of India. In the present study the identified black spots of Haridwar and Dehradun city were included comprising of a total of 81 black spots out of which there were 49 black spots which were identified in Dehradun followed by 32 black spots in Haridwar. The present study was an attempt to carry out the prioritization of these identified blackspots with respect to the factors that were considered to evaluate accident prone locations on the road. The identified black spots were then prioritized using the classification scheme (ranking from low to high).The study reveals that the advantage of using this approach for prioritizing accident black spots on roads is that it requires very less additional data other than the road network maps.

The most important and critical step to improve road traffic safety is prediction and identification of traffic accident black spot. A new prediction model of traffic accident black spots is proposed based on GA-BP neural network algorithm and rough set theory. First of all, the traffic accident statistics of Jinwei Road in Tianjin are analyzed. With consideration of static road conditions, the samples of road accident black spots are obtained by the GA-BP neural network algorithm. Furthermore, an effective road traffic accident black spot prediction model is established by utilizing rough set theory with consideration of the impact of real time dynamic conditions. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated. Experimental results show that the proposed model with the combination of these two theories can reduce the hybrid and burdensome amount of data, lower the false alarm rate and improve the forecasting accuracy of accident black spots.

The objective of this study is to explore the contributory factors responsible for road accidents and identifies the black spots on the three motorways; M1 (Peshawar-Islamabad), M2 (Islamabad-Lahore), and M3 (Pindi BhattianFaisalabad) in Pakistan. Five years’ road accident data was obtained from the National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP), Pakistan. The database of this study included six hundred road accidents on a total of 574 kilometers long routes of M1, M2 and M3. The reliability analysis approach was used to locate black spot locations on each motorway. For the visualization and mapping of black spots on each motorway, a Geographic Information System (GIS) was used. The results explored that vehicle condition was the significant contributory factor responsible for the maximum number of road accidents on M1 and M3, while for M2, it was drowsy driving. It is also found that a maximum number of road accidents on M2 and M3 occurred in late-night, while for M1, it was day timing. Furthermore, road accidents were relatively higher in May-July and December on M1 and M2, which shows that extreme weather influences the occurrence of road accidents. On the contrary, no substantial variation of road accidents was examined for M3 month-wise. Finally, black spots on each motorway were located and their georeferenced coordinates were presented for future use. As a result, precautionary measures and provisions are suggested for concerned authorities to mitigate road safety problems.
