Road accidents in India

[Naveen Francis]

Hello,

2017 data is updated now in this website.

http://missionroadsafety.com/

1. Can we get data for blacks spots locations in India ? [1]

2. Is there any road accident map like this http://www.collisionmap.uk/ ?

[1] MORTH Road Safety website :-  http://morth-roadsafety.nic.in//admnis/admin/showimg.aspx?ID=302

Thanks,

Hey,

We sometimes refer to this report: http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/files/file/Road%20accidents%20in%20India%202016.pdf

This describes the format used to collect the data: https://factly.in/government-revises-the-format-for-collection-of-road-accident-data/

Which makes me believe that MoRTH also just collects aggregates but that does mean that States might be able to provide accident-wise data potentially.

Regards,

Harsh

Hey Harsh,

From Road Accidents in India - 2017 

Improving the Road Accident Data Base

The Expert Committee set up by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways in November, 2016 had recommended a uniform road accident Recording format to be adopted by the Police in all the States and UTs and a set of corresponding annual road accident data Reporting format (18 Forms) in which States/UTs would furnish data to the Ministry. The Ministry has accepted the recommendations of the Committee and all the States and UTs have adopted the revised Road Accident Recording Format and furnished the annual road accident data in the new Recording formats w.e.f. calendar year 2017.

The initiatives taken by the MoRTH, to integrate the road accident Recording format with that of Inter Operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) of Ministry of Home Affairs, have moved forward. All the 55 fields of road accident Recording format prescribed by MoRTH have been incorporated in ICJS of MHA. The MHA has developed software which would be accessible to all police stations. This system is being put into operation in a phased manner starting from April, 2018.

Thanks,

Naveen,

There are 350 black spots here in recent Kerala document, plus some useful info on identification and prioritisation.

This recent article quotes 400 for Punjab

That doesn't jibe with the March 2018 PIB release stating approximately 800 blackspots for whole of India. Maharashtra  alone has 634! 

Delhi 2017 https://delhitrafficpolice.nic.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/chapter-6.pdf

UP http://uppwd.gov.in/pdf/BlkSptStatus.pdf

Chandigarh https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313858691_Accident_Black-Spot_Validation_using_GIS

Private parties handling O&M could also have.

They are supposed to be fixed and therefore the list will keep changing.

Thanks Vaishnavi.

800 black spots are on NH alone. MORTH releases only numbers, not the location.

Thought of mapping blackspots on NHs. 

Thanks
