A STUDY ON GEOMETRIC ELEMENTS FOR CONTROL OF ACCIDENTS RATE IN HIGHWAYS

Abstract

In India, the number of people killed in traffic accidents has risen steadily over the previous decade or so. As a result, scholars throughout the globe are debating traffic safety management. Because of this, a variety of elements must be considered while doing accident modelling. Modeling an accident allows us to identify the true culprits responsible for the incident. One reason may have a higher impact than the other. Accident modelling is the only way to discover these underlying causes. For the sake of this research, we have attempted to categorise these accident modelling approaches into two separate groups, one for urban roads and one for rural roads.It's been shown that accident investigation models vary widely, depending on the industry, domain, and investigative focus. Research on human variables is particularly susceptible to a broad range of approaches. The bulk of these theories may be traced back to the Rasmussen model of system hierarchy or the Swiss Cheese causality model developed by Reason.There are a lot of models that come from manufacturing and the energy sector in general. The use of these concepts in the aviation sector has shown their fundamental flaws. In reality, their intervention potential is confined to linear solutions because of their simplifications and lay interpretations. When designing for a multi-actor environment, a comprehensive systems engineering design approach should be employed. Three paradigm adjustments in investigative methods are required for such an approach. To begin, there must be a severance of ties between the fields of event modelling and systems modelling. There must be a distinction made between two distinct categories of design. Linear alterations to the current design envelope are distinguished from second-order alterations that aim to expand the design solution space. Third, building safe solutions in a multi-factor systems context needs prototyping, virtual system model simulation, and testing of limit state scenarios.. On the basis of these limitations, a framework for improving aviation safety is provided, which is based on actual experiences in the industry. As a result of new concerns about cost, safety, and the environment, undivided interurban road geometry has evolved throughout time. Initial design
