Road Safety Assessment using iRAP – Case Study of National Highway

Black spots with high crash frequency were
identified through the recording of accidents from FIR
reports or which is simply through secondary data
collection before this number of accidents and number of
persons (killed, grievous, minor) injured are identified for
the selected study area NH44 (Devanahalli toll plaza to
Bagepalli toll plaza) using FIR report data of the
particular police stations under study area. Then the
remedial measures are suggested based on factors
contributing to road crashes that were identified on the
selected concerned black spots. Remedial measures are
suggested for the particularly selected black spots from
identified black spots by road safety audit, audit
performed for this study is the safety performance
examination of an existing road at intersections, to
provide remedial measures so as to mitigate the impact of
accidents through the use of IRC Codal provisions, the
factors contributing accidents. Risk Maps use detailed
crash data to illustrate the actual number of deaths and
injuries on a road network. Star Ratings provide a simple
and objective measure of the level of safety provided by a
road’s design. Safer Roads Investment Plans draw on
approximately 90 proven road improvement options to
generate affordable and economically sound
infrastructure options for saving lives.
