Abstract
Demand for transportation, safety is an issue of major social concern and an area of extensive research work. The rate of accident in developing countries like India increases year by year.rnIn the present study, the accident data, volume, spot speed data of the proposed stretch from the year 2010-2014 has been collected from concerned police stations in prepared data formats. The data sheet covers all the accident details. At each police station First Information Reports were referred to note down the accident particulars. The analysis work was carried out for the proposed stretch and black spots were identified. After this, the main data required is the geometrics of the road way which will be useful for the evaluation of the black spot locations. A model is built with the accident rate as dependent variable and road environment factors such as road width, shoulder width, curvatures, sight distances, radius and number of crossroads or junctions, no of culverts etc. as independent variables.
