Improving Road Accident Database Road Accidents are multi-causal, but falls into three broad categories, viz., - Human error - Road engineering defects - Vehicular defects Need to focus on vulnerable road users, especially pedestrians; A committee consisting of expert members from IITs, State Police etc. constituted by the Ministry to move closer towards an accurate, consistent and objective road accident database.
Improving Road Accident Database (contd.) The Committee recommended a uniform accidents recording format for the State/UT Police; and corresponding annual accident data reporting formats. The new Recording Format developed to make it simple for the police to understand and to cover all relevant information relating to road accident accident identification/location, road conditions, vehicles involved and details of road accident victims. The new formats to foster objectivity in data recording by capturing the circumstances under which an accident occurred, adequate capturing of impacting vehicles details and improve accuracy in pedestrian victims. MoRTH has accorded approval to the new formats and disseminated to States/UTs. Approved formats uploaded in the Ministry s website (www.morth.nic.in). Familiarization workshops; one national level at IIT-Delhi and five zonal levels each at IIT-Bombay, IIT-Guwahati, IIT-Kanpur, IIT-Kharagpur and IIT-Madras organised for State & UT Police officers.
Government Initiatives The Government has been implementing multi-pronged road safety programmes and initiatives which encompasses mass awareness/ education engineering measures (both road and vehicle), enforcement of safety laws and emergency care to road accident victims. programmes,
Recent Measures taken by MoRTH i. Road Engineering measures: 789 black spots identified of which 651 on NH and 138 on State roads. 140 spots already rectified. 283 under process. Road Safety Audits at different stages are integral part of BOT and EPC road projects. All road development provision for essential road safety furniture: like road signs, markings, delineators etc. Crash barriers installed in hilly areas. projects have
Recent Measures taken by MoRTH (contd.) ii. Vehicular safety standards and IT enabled safety measure Trucks prohibited from carrying protruding roads; Anti-locking Brake System (ABS) made mandatory on Heavy Vehicles.
