Abstract-
Growing number of road accidents needs to be controlled by identifying the accident prone locations on road stretches. In this paper a study has been carried out on road accident data of a selected stretch of NH-1 (DelhiAmbala-Amritsar Road). A 50 km road stretch between RD 98 km to 148 km was selected and road accident data of four years (2007-2010) was collected. The 6-laning work of NH-1 is in progress during the selected period so the study considers the effect of widening project on road accidents also. To identify the accident prone locations the total stretch was divided into smaller sections of 5 km each. Total accidents and accident severity value has been used to rank the accident prone locations. The stretch of the road 140-144 km is found to be the most accident prone followed by the stretch 98-104 km and the stretch 145-148 km. A field study has been conducted to compare the analysis with field results.
