A road traffic accident is becoming a prime complication in any transportation network. With the increase in vehicle population, the increase in the number of accidents is also increasing twice a fold. Road accidents are now anticipated to be the seventh principal cause of death by the year 2030. Analysis of the accidents on the roadways and spotting the accident-prone locations is necessary to provide relevant safety improvement measures. Recent research shows an increase in the integration of geographical information systems (GIS) for analyzing accidents, road design, and safety management considerably. This study focuses on the accident analysis and acknowledges the accident blackspot location on National Highway-24(Moradabad to Bareilly section) from chainage 148.000 KM TO 269.000 KM in the state of Uttar pradesh.The data were first analyzed on Ms-Excel and then the data was inputted in QGIS to identify the blackspot locations based on the latitude and longitude of the accident locations.
The conclusions it is recommended to implement strict driving policies to reduce the number of accidents.it was found that the animals coming on the road has a greater share in accidents. It is suggested to implement strict driving policies and roadside patrolling vehicles to put a check on the overspeeding vehicles.
