Road Safety Scenario and Role of Education Sector

Presented by:
Dr R. K. GARG
Chairman, Civil Engg. Deptt.

The Problem Today

Accident scenario in the world
Every day 3000 people die in road accidents, 1.3 million road accident deaths every year. Road accident is the third largest cause of accidental deaths & will become 1st largest by 2020 Accident death toll to touch 1.9 million by 2020.
Source: The World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention

Accident Scenario in Developing Countries

90% road accident deaths in the developing countries.
Accidental costs estimated as Rs. 4,50,000 crores.

This is almost twice as much as the total development assistance received worldwide by the developing countries.

Accident Scenario in India

342 deaths per day, equivalent to a jumbo crash no survivors
14 deaths per hour 1.27 lacs deaths and 5.5 lacs injuries per year India with 1% of worlds vehicles accounts for 10% of world road accidents. 14 Accident deaths/10,000 vehicles in India (1.6 in US) Estimated cost 3% of GDP (worth Rs. 75,000.00 crores). Roads accident toll rising at an alarming rate of 8% as compared to 4% in the previous decade.

Accident Scenario in Haryana

More than 1700 deaths every year 140 Accident deaths per million population in Haryana (double of Indian average) Accident deaths per 10,000 vehicles in Haryana is 5 per cent higher than all-India average. The above is an eye opener

Complexity of Indian Scenario

In last 50 years, automobile population has grown 170 times while the road infrastructure has expanded only nine times. Heterogeneity of traffic: 17 categories of road users and 43 types of vehicles Gross underreporting: Road accidents Violations Ribbon development 10 million violations per day in the capital; only 10-15,000 be challaned. Source: Joint Commissioner, Delhi Traffic Police Poor road conditions and unsafe structures lack overpasses & underpasses Lack of adequate traffic and road safety aids Encroachments - Temporary Shops Used for sleeping and walking - restricting traffic.

ROAD INJURY STATISTICS

The Problem Tomorrow

Of every 90 children born this year
One will die violently in a highway crash during his/her lifetime.
70 of every 100 will be injured in a crash during their lifetimessome more than once.

The Goal
Reduce the incidence and severity of motor vehicle crashes. Lower the fatality rate

How to Do It?
Involve all agencies with a safety mission
Engineers, law enforcement, licensing, judiciary, behavioral
Establish Integrated Safety Management Process

Identify Significant Safety Problems
Focus on road users, highway, vehicle, environment, and management system
Launch Coordinated Attack on Problems
