Abstract

With the phenomenal increase in population and the number of newlineregistered vehicles over the past decade there is a corresponding growth in newlineaccidents The road accident problem in India is acute and is compounded by newlineinadequate road increasing population and growing number of vehicles newlineplying on the roads A number of factors like population number of vehicles newlinesurfaced road length etc can be correlated with the growth of accidents The newlinemain objectives of this study are To develop a probabilistic model for estimating accident reduction factor due to pavement marking newline A Bayesian approach is adopted to eliminate the expected newlineaccident rates To calculate the accident ranking among the districts of the newlineTamilnadu state in India using accident rate to take remedial newlinemeasures for reducing accidents newline newline
