Abstract:
Now a days, the highest priority problem in the transportation sector in poor nations is
pedestrian accidents and the resulting deaths. About 1.25 million people per year are
killed on the world's roadways, and about half of all road traffic fatalities are sustained
by walkers, cyclists, and motorcyclists, as stated in the WHO status report on road
safety in 2015. According to the data, Bangladesh is among the most accident-prone
nations in all of South Asia.
Throughout the time under consideration, "Since 2008, accidents have been declining,
and 2012 seems to be the bottom. In 2008-2012, there were 52% fewer highway
accidents. Accidents declined from 2013 to 2015, then rose in 2015. 16 percent of 787
occurrences occurred in 2006 and the fewest in 2014. (6%).
Most accidents happen in locations without intersections, which is interesting 3174 out
of 5040 accidents occur in areas without intersections. Second is "other" (16.4%). 6%
of all vulnerabilities are "Tee-Junctions." Cross-and-staggered-junctions and railroad
crossings have the fewest accidents.
To reduce accidents in the future, the next decade, developing nations like Bangladesh
will see a startling spike in traffic accidents and fatalities, according to a worldwide
estimate. Because of this, ensuring passenger safety is a major obstacle due to a lack of
trained personnel and enough funding in the transport safety sector. Improvements to
the design of intersections, including channelization, traffic islands, dividers, and so on,
ought to be carried out. It is essential to make appropriate improvements to access
controls, the road surface, the highway shoulder, cross-sections, sight distances,
alignments, traffic signs, traffic signals, road markings, traffic calming devices, and
lighting.
