Imtiyaz Ahmad Mir, Amir Ali Khan, Dr Sachin Dass, Dr Gyanendra Singh, and Saurabh Jaglan
Abstract
In today's technological age, it appears surprising and eldritch owing toroadaccidentscaused by road user
negligence on twisting hilly routes, which recur to bring and cause more lives and injuries. To reduce the
number of lives and fatalities caused by road accidents in the research region, it is critical to offer
corrective actions based on accident data analysis, such as improving the pavement condition and
progressively increasing the factor of safety. However, according to a collective analysis conducted by
MoRTH, more accidents happened in the research region of Jammu and Kashmir alone as a result of
vehicle over-speeding and rain- induced lighting. The use of accident analysis limits the number of
accidents to a minimum, as well as the amount of money lost in the economy. Total accidents that
happened across the research region were 5836 in 2015 and keep on increasing every year. Last but not
least, 2683 accidents happened in the month of July from 2015 to 2019 owing to tourist cars and melting
snow, resulting in rapid deterioration of earthen shoulders. When the average fatality rate in Jammu and
Kashmir due to traffic accidents is compared to the rest of India, it has been shown to be two times higher
in recent years. Accident analysis and road maintenance in the study region of Jammu and Kashmir, on
the other hand, might help to design strategies for avoiding accidents
