INTRODUCTION • City wide traffic injury surveillance in partnership with the Civil Engineering Department of N.E.D University. • Supported by Indus Motors.
Project Objectives • To Quantify and assess severity Of RTA’s • Assess pattern & behavior of accidents on Major Arterials • Presentation of collected data on GIS • Identification of Major causes of accidents • Detailed analysis and improvement of Black Spots
Description • Collection of data from five hospitals • JPMC • Civil Hospital • Abbasi Shaheed Hospital • Liaquat National Hospital & • Aga Khan Hospital • By 30 Research Assistants 24x7 • All data is collected & Analyzed • We are trying to bring some more hospitals in our cycle
Project Progress • 17600 cases have been registered in seven months ( from Sep 06 to March 07) • Data of last Seven months has been collected & analyzed using SPSS • Major causes of accident have been categorized • Many Black Spots have been identified & analyzed • We are working on presentation of data on GIS
Bridges, Flyovers & Underpasses About 865 cases form different bridges have been reported in six months from September 06 to February 07.
Black Spot Analysis • The location where the number of accidents are high is termed as black spot
Black Spot Analysis • Following Black Spots Have Been Identified And Analyzed • Korangi Road • Numaish Intersection • Jama Cloth Intersection • Matric Board Office • Baloch Colony • Ftc Flyover • Ghani Chowrangi • Haroonabad • Lyari Railway Station & Tcf School • Crown Cinema And Wazir Mansion • Gulbai Intersection • Underconstruction Korangi Industrial Area Road • Northern Bypass And Hub River Road • Five Star Intersection • U-turn On Mai Kolachi Road • Shaheed-e-millat Extension • Sakraan Road • Maulana Shoukat Ali Khan Road ( In Progress)
Korangi Road • Section of Korangi Road from Qayyumabad to end of Korangi Naddi is critical • 678 cases have been reported in last seven months & 24 were expired, most of the cases are reported from this section • Two way traffic is operated on 40 ft wide road • Besides over speeding and overtaking, other factors are:
No Street Lights • Absence of Median • Sand Loading Activity • Shoulder improvement
M.A. Jinnah Road • 1165 cases were reported from Sep 06 to March 07 • M.A. Jinnah road was analyzed in different sections • Numaish Intersection • Jama Cloth Intersection
NUMAISH INTERSECTION • Numaish Intersection is a high-risk zone for pedestrians • Vehicular accidents were reported because of wrong way driving
NUMAISH INTERSECTION • Location of pedestrian bridge & absence of fencing • Wrong way driving practice through Lines Area
Jama Cloth Intersection • Right of way for left turn through Phool Wali Gali was provided without changing the geometry of Intersection • Inadequate provision of pedestrian refuge and bus stop, while there is huge pedestrian flow due to market
Jama Cloth Intersection Allocation of right of way for left turn through Phool Waali Gali without changing geometry of the Intersection
Baloch Colony Inadequate Fencing & Road Crossing
Poor condition of pavement Merging problem Ghani Chowrangi
Inoperative Street Lights Ghani Chowrangi
Lyari Railway Station & TCF School • Absence of Fencing • 23 ft high bridge is not user friendly, so underutilized
Lack of Pedestrian Facility Insufficient illumination Crown Cinema & Wazir Mansion • Presence of 2’6” high barrier makes it difficult to cross especially for women and elder people
Gulbai Intersection Obstructed Sight Distance Improperly Designed Islands
Geometry of roundabout Insufficient illumination Gulbai Intersection
Northern Bypass • Passenger buses are operating on Northern Bypass • Motorbikes are also operating on Northern Bypass
