Abstract:

Increase in the population day by day the numbers of vehicles are also increasing. As a fact of increase in the vehicles, number of accidents gradually increases. The accidents are occurred due to human error or road parameters. For sorting out the issues, road is preferable than human and vehicles. As a matter of fact, to control the issue, road is preferable than Human and vehicle. An accident black spot is a hazardous or high-risk location where a number of accidents repeatedly occur.
This paper deals with the identification of Blackspots and improvements to the specific locations in terms of geometrics of road. The procedure described is based on recorded accidents, data about accidents and traffic studies. Finally, the evaluation of the proposed remedies will be simulated using vissim and Sidra Intersection software. The ultimate scope of the project is to find out the root cause of the accidents and also to find the facts that can lead to corrective actions.
