Accidental Blackspot

Detection

Guide – Prof.Sujata Kolhe

Road traffic injuries are one of the leading causes of death, disabilities and
hospitalization in the country

In India, data regarding traffic accidents has been collected and stored in
police stations.

An accident can be

1. Fatal accident : An accident which results in death of one or more person is
a fatal accident.
2. Grievous Injury accident : An accident which results in permanent or severe
injury to the victim.
3. Minor injury accident : Minor injury accident is when victim(s) does not
require hospitalization.
4. Non - Injury accidents : The victim is not injured at all.

 Out of these only Fatal and grievous injury accidents are reported to Police
stations.
Data collected from Transport Research wing, Ministry of
Road Transport and Highways.
Nature of accident 2016 2017
Head on collision 20.1% 18.7%

Hit from back 12.3% 16.7%

Hit & Run 11.6% 14.0%

Hit Pedestrian 9.7% 13.4%

Hit from side 10.1% 9.2%

Vehicle Overturn 10.2% 6.5%

Others* 26.1% 21.5%

* Includes run-off road, hit fixed object, hit animal, hit parked
vehicle and other unspecified collisions types.
 Accidents by Road categories , Road width  National highway,
State highway, Local roads

 Accidents by Weather Conditions Sunny , Rainy , Foggy

 Accidents by Road environments  Residential area, industrial

area, market

 Accidents by type of Vehicle involved  Two wheelers, Car, Jeep

,Bus, Truck, Auto rickshaws

PARAMETERS WHICH WE CAN CONSIDER ?  Severity and fatality

of accident
 Problem Definition
To identify accidental blackspots in a particular area and mark
them on the map using Geo Location co-ordinates and also to
analyze patterns. To build a driver alertness system.

 SCOPE
An Android app or web app can be developed for this in which instead
of just receiving the co-ordinates of the location,it can be exactly pin
pointed on the map.

 It will alert the driver of the blackspots ahead of him. This can be done
using text to speech technology.
