abstract="Rapid growth of population coupled with increasing economic activities particularly in developing countries is responsible for  the continuing increase in motor vehicles, thereby causing road  accidents.  The increase in road accidents has created social  problems due to loss of life and human suffering.  The  causation of accidents can be understood with the help of in- depth analysis of accident statistics, which provides clues to the  many factors involved.  An attempt has been made to analyse  the road accident data pertaining to Delhi, the capital city of  India, by developing suitable models.  Corrective safety  measures as suggested in this paper aim to prevent safety  problems and encourage smooth mobility for people in the  future.  Safety measures for vulnerable road users such as  policy decisions, law and enforcement, environment change,  traffic education and traffic safety research, which need to be  adopted to enhance road safety, are included in this paper.   Some of the preventive measures to reduce road accidents are  also listed. However, it is important to list and discuss all  possibilities as this encourages future developments for the  prevention of road accidents.",
