Study of Pedestrian Safety and Accident Analysis on Chennai City
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Each year, more than 270 000 pedestrians lose their lives on the roads. Globally, pedestrians constitute 22% of all road traffic fatalities, and in some countries this proportion is as high as two thirds of all road traffic deaths. Millions of pedestrians are non-fatally injured – some of whom are left with permanent disabilities. These incidents cause much suffering and grief as well as economic hardship. The capacity to respond to pedestrian safety is an important component of efforts to prevent road traffic injuries. Pedestrian collisions, like other road traffic crashes, should not be accepted as inevitable because they are both predictable and preventable. Aims to analysis the pedestrian safety at Thiruvanmiyur to sriuseri –sipcot for a stretch of 22km, OMR, Chennai through accident analysis. The data such as severity ,location, date & time of accident and type of vehicle involved in the accident were collected and analyzed and proper safety measure is suggested .The key risks to pedestrians were well documented and they included issues related to a broad range of factors like driver behavior particularly in terms of speeding and infrastructure in terms of a lack of dedicated facilities for pedestrians such as sidewalks, raised crosswalks the accident analysis is carried out in order to determine the cause of an accident or series of accidents so as to prevent further incidents of a similar kind.
