Abstract:- Accidents have been major problem in a developed countries of world over fifty years.It is only the past decade that developing countries like India have began to experience large increase in number of accidents Road accidents in Hyderabad with in the city as well as outside the city are identifying the facing the alarming rate of proper counter measures are taken

.The road accidents study can be done in one area of Cyberabad and one area of Hyderabad .This paper represent many aspects of traffic accidents in saifabad and hayathnagar. Data on accidents are collected from insurance company from two year wise.(2013-2014)it was found that total accidents in saifabad is 654 and in hayathnagar 477 pedestrains are worst victim in road accidents.The analysis of accidents are shown in cause of accidents and hourly distribution of accidents occurred mostly frequently monthly variation victim and accused vehicle profile.

Keywords: Alarming pedestrains counter measures

INTRODUCTION:

India is said to be heart of south Asia .India is undergoing a major economic and demographic transition coupled with increasing urbanaization and motorization .There are seven metropolitan cities in India namely Ahmedabad, Mumbai

,kolkutta ,Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad. In India 11% of deaths due to non communable diseases are due to injuries 78% death are due to road accidents in India (NCRB 2014).

1. Indian Accident Scenerio

   Indian traffic is of Heterogeneous with heavy presence of two wheeler .The mixed traffic conditions make the safety situation worse. The magnitude of road accidents at an alarming rate. Accident rate increased from the year 2001 no. of accidents occurred 405637 to in year 2014 About 490,383 accidents occurred and 138,258 were killed. In India, 60% of total accidents take place during night through the night traffic is hardly 15% of 24hours volume which means that the accident in India during night is eight times greater than the day traffic.

2. Study Area

   Hyderabad is the capital city of the state of Telangana in South India. Hyderabad occupies 650square kilo meters

   Hyderabad bandlaguda-500005

   (250sqmi).The population has crossed 12 million as per 2014 Census. The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) is positioning itself as a greater hub for Administrative, Financial, Industrial, Educational, Medical, Cultural activities resulting high growth rate. There are three National High- ways and five State Highways.

3. Objective of the Study

The major objectives of this study are-

• To study the distribution of fatal, non-fata and vehicle damaged accidents took place during 2012-2014.

• To analyse the causes of accidents during 2013-2014.

• To apprise hourly incidents of total accidents.

  To provide safety measures to reduce pedestrians accidents.

  1. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

     Amith Ghosh and Suman Paul (2013) has studied road accidents scenario in Kolkata by using police station data.Liyamol Isen, Shibu Aand Saran M.S (2013) has studied identification and analysis of accident black spots using GIS in Kerala for two districts.

     Dr .M. Kumar and A.Ramesh (2014) has developed logistics model for type of collision in Cyberabad and Hyderabad. Guler Yalcia (2013) has studied Road Accident data analysis with co-ordinate values from GPS and GIS in Turkey.

  2. METHODOLOGY

     The study includes reviews of available literature on road accidents, safety and prevention analysis. This process has helped for better conceptualization of the study for Cyberabad and Hyderabad. The preliminary survey are performed for identification of suitable study areas namely Hayathnagar and Saifabad .These include selected areas police station accident data.

     RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

     The results are given for three i.e. 2012-2014 for Hayathnagar and Saifabad area.

     More number of accidents occurred in the month of June. Were as not only in the month of June even in the month of January and May with little variations. High number of accidents occurred during 6PM-8PM duration. But if we observe clearly are can notice that during 4PM-6PM, 6PM- 8PM and 8PM-10PM duration time accidents rate is increased gradually. Total accidents rate is compared with three years data. From that fatal and non-fatal accidents are increased and vehicle damaged accidents are decreased. The causes of accidents are rash and negligence manner is 92.5%,

     neglecting traffic rules is 3.6% and other causes id 3.8% are occurred. In victim vehicles profile 2Wheelers takes first position and cars takes second position. In accused vehicles profile Lorries and Cars are highly involved in accidents.2Wheelers takes second position, Buses and DCMs takes third position. The pedestrians involvement in accidents is reduced well compared to 2012-2014.But not much variation between 2013 and 2014.Fatal accidents is reduced.
