Transport system in now a day’s play a major role in our day to day life. In today’s world, road and transport has become an integral part of every human being. In India, for every 4 minutes one person is died on the road accidents. Locating the points in the road network that are particularly dangerous and where more accidents occur is called as accident prone area or Black spot. This survey is conducted on SH-27 from Nandyal to Koilakuntla. The accident data has been collected from near by police station available for consequent 3 years from 2015 to 2017. Preliminary analysis reveals that there are 5 blackspots in the given corridor line. The detailed analysis been carried out on these 5 locations in order to study accidents at this locations. Based on the analysis the improvement measures have been recommended. The identified blackspots are outskirts of Koilakuntla, Kaanala village, Julepalli village, Joladharasi village, and Rythunagar.The important factors considered for analysis includes the classification of accidents, types of vehicles involved in the accident, type of collision occurred, month wise distribution of accidents, time wise distribution of accidents, analysis of data based on Accident Severity Index method.Refference:
