ROAD ACCIDENT MODELS FOR LARGE METROPOLITAN CITIES OF INDIA

Rapid population growth and urbanization in India has led to a steady increase in road accidents, with a significant share of the accidents occurring in the major cities. This paper focuses on developing models to be used in analyzing road accident data in India at both national and major metropolitan city levels. Using data from 1977 to 2001, models were developed as an aid to understanding the nature and extent of accidents. The models were then used, along with population and motor vehicle growth rates, for estimating road accidents in seven metropolitan cities for the years 2007 and 2010.
