GIS(Geographic information system)

GIS is a computer system for capturing, storing, querying,

analyzing and displaying geographic data.

The objective of any GIS system is to integrate hardware,

software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.

LITERATURE REVIEW

METHODOLOGY
Road accident data has been collected form the respective

police stations and traffic departments. Major accident prone locations (Black Spots) have been identified based on the number of accidents & severity of accidents. Field surveys were conducted using total station to collect the geometric features of the black spots. The reasons for the accidents are studied and analyzed.
