摘要: |
An accident Black spot (often synonymously known as crash hotspot) is a section of road where the frequency of occurrence of several types of accidents or a particular type of accident is comparatively higher than other similar sections on different roads. Accidents repeatedly occur at a location due to faults and inconsistencies in engineering design which lead creation of an ambiguous road environment that fails to provide a positive guidance to road users. For rectification of such road sections, it is important to identify such locations based on likelihood of occurrence of an accident and past accident history. This paper intends to conduct a critical appraisal of the principles of accident blackspot identification and the associated methods which arepracticed worldwide. The paper further illustrates the definitions of accident Black spots that have been derived from such principles and which are today a part of protocol of government policies of various Countries. The paper also discusses the application of the current practices in context to black spot identification on roads in India. |
