Pedestrian Accident Analysis in Delhi using GIS
Walking is the most sustainable and most used mode of transportation in Indian cities. From 2006-2009, an estimated 8503 fatalities in road traffic crashes occurred in Delhi in which pedestrians contribute almost 51%. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of utilizing geographic information systems (GIS) in identifying pedestrian accident-prone locations. Crash data were geocoded in ArcGIS over the digitized road map of Delhi. Results highlighted four pedestrian fatal hotspot locations in Delhi. Fatal pedestrian accidents were significantly clustered (p<0.05) over the Ring Road of Delhi at intersections. The analysis showed that the pedestrian fatalities at arterial road intersections involving cars and buses were 27% and 14% of all fatalities involving cars and buses respectively.
