Abstract

Study of intersection is very important to control traffic flow, factors contributing to traffic accidents are numerous and they interact complexly. The occurrence of traffic conflict is determined. This study proposes methods of investigation and analyzing data. Detailed accident analysis shows that intersection scenarios are a serious focal point for accidents in urban areas. Therefore such an analysis is necessary to be done. There exist a lot of different intersection types with different levels of complexity. Therefore, the relevant scenarios were chosen out of the accident analysis to focus only on the most dangerous scenarios. Pedestrian road crossings have become a major issue in road traffic flow, especially in urban areas where there is no control for pedestrian road crossings. Pedestrian road crossing behavior is a serious threat to pedestrians at uncontrolled midblock crossing locations in the mixed traffic conditions. Due to an increase in motor vehicle growth, there is an increase in the regulation of motor vehicles only and the regulation of pedestrian is completely neglected. This increases the uncontrolled road crossing behavior of the pedestrian. The main motivation of this study is to investigate the errors in the design of intersection so as per our interest we choose ‘Dharmaraj chowk’ Akurdi. A number of accidents are increasing day by day, during the decade 2001 to 2011, the number of road accidents in the country is increased at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.1 percent. Similarly, the number of road accident fatalities and the number of persons injured in road accidents in the country between 2001and 2011 increased by 5.8 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively. As a result of concerted and coordinated road safety efforts, there has been a decline of the order 3.1 percent and 0.4 percent in the number of persons injured and the number of road accidents, respectively, in 2011, compared to 2010. However, the number of fatalities increased by 5.9 per cent in 2011.
