Abstract

Fatality rates in Indian cities have increased manifolds in the recent years as cities continue to expand. The actual crash risk observed on different infrastructures is different and it depends upon the crash rate and the exposure on these infrastructures. This analysis uses crash data from police reported fatal crashes in the urban limits of the city to decide actual risk. The fatal crashes are accurately reported in police records, while minor and major crashes are under reported in India. The study considered risk to road users from six commonly used modes of transportation; walking, bicycling, riding motorized two- wheeler, auto-rickshaw, car, and bus. The perceived risk has derived for all these modes on different infrastructures; mid- block, signalized intersection, un-signalized intersection, and rotary intersection from household survey. This study examined the trend of fatal crashes and the relationship between actual and perceived crash risk on different infrastructures.
