Abstract

With increase in traffic volume across the globe traffic safety has come into highlight and become a major concern. Apparently, with due increase in traffic volume resulting in higher road accidents which considerably causes negative impact on economic growth, public health and general welfare of wellbeing. In the present scenario challenges are faced to mitigate the traffic volume and by making road users aware with road safety parameters which may results in less road fatalities. The root cause of an accidents intends to perception, intellection emotion and violation. The approach towards this research is to get minimal setback/casualties of the road. In order to gain the best possible course of action, the stretch of 8 KM of National highway (NH-66) situated in a plain terrain in the district of Alapphuza, Kerala India. To begin with, accident data has been collected from NHAI office and Police station of above location with proper analysis by Accident Severity Index (ASI) method has been carried out. Adding to an idea, location of Black Spot has been identified by ASI method. Based on Severity of accident short term and long-term measures has been adopted. Eventually, after analyzing short term measures 10 black spot location along with the estimate has been worked out.
