Road traffic accidents are increasing rapidly in India with the increase in traffic density. An accident is the result of factors such as road defects, human errors, engineering defects of the vehicles, non-availability of pedestrian facilities, cyclist facilities, circumstantial factors such as weather conditions, visibility etc. Accidents cause death, disablement, damage to property and health, social suffering, and also general degradation of the environment. In this project study, Traffic accident analysis of selected stretch of Yavatmal district in Maharashtra state is carried out project study aims to calculate accident rate and frequency for a particular road stretch. Literature review is conducted the traffic agencies and public concentrates at the measures to reduce such accident severity in order to reduce the fatality rate. The location of high risk where crash tends to concentrate over the time are hazardous locations .The analysis of traffic signals and road safety devices present on the road using geodetic techniques. The road stretch chosen for purpose of our study is extending from Sharda chowk to Lohara square. This 5 kilometer road stretch is divided into segments of 1000 meter each, for the purpose of analysis . The calculations described in this project is based on recorded accidents and data about accidents. The information available for accidents studies is taken form local police stations in form of FIR, the data of last two years (2022-2024) is extracted form FIR records. The type of data extracted is like location of accidents and fatalities in the selected stretch. We have calculated accident rate and accident frequency by using methods. Monthly variation, hourly variation of accident rate on the road and vehicle. Road safety awareness should be raise among users to reduce accidents.
