Analysis Of Traffic Accident In Addis Ababa Traffic Simulation

This paper discusses the growing problem of road traffic crashes, particularly in AddisrnAbaba with particular reference to the magnitude, risk factors, interventions and researchrnpriorities. The 2004 World Health Report shows that of the 1.2 million people killed inrnroad crash worldwide, 85% are in developing countries.rnThe traffic police reports human error, road environment and vehicle factors as the mainrncauses of road crashes. However, little documentation is available on the broaderrnunderlying factors such as deficiencies in the breviaries changes, ineffective road safetyrnlegislation and enforcement, systems for data collection and management, and inadequaternmedical infrastructure for post-injury management. Although a variety of road safetyrninterventions have been successfully applied, little attempt has been made to promote andrnimplement them.rnEvery year, around 300 people are killed on Addis Ababa's roads and 1500 are light andrnseriously injured [Federal Police Central Bureau]. The governments have launchedrnseveral campaigns, such as “Think!” and Road Safety Campaign (RSC), to help peoplernbecome aware of road safety issues and try to reduce road accident.rnThis study tries to analyze the traffic accidents, and develop a computer-based trafficrnsimulation for the route selection. This thesis has two main functions. Firstly, the aim isrnto provide users with an understanding of the major causes of traffic accidents andrnpresent using several Statistical tools. At the second function, it will apply an innovative,rnhybrid statistical model for route selection based on accident prediction to traffic policernoffice data.rnThe system, if developed to include the whole network in Addis Ababa, will supportrnseveral target groups, viz. all road users, Traffic Police and the Emergency and FirernService through to insurance companies, and local government. The ideal system willrnAnalysis of road traffic accidents in Addis Ababa: Traffic simulationrniiirngive people useful suggestions about how to improve road planning and trafficrnmanagement.rnIn this paper, a survey is done on current prediction models and visualization techniques.rnA prototype system is developed using these theories. The functions in the prototypernsystem are limited. More data is required to actualize the system on real terms.rnThe study consists of two major parts: the first part gives detail about the road trafficrnaccident, and Ant Based Control Algorithm implemented for road traffic management.rnThe second part, customization of research empirical equations and experiences to ourrnlocal conditions and simulate/ forecast the future trend and also with the help of softwarerndeveloped, route selection at the pick hours is managed for the specific path in AddisrnAbaba.rnIn conclusion, the paper highlights the background of the growing problem of road trafficrninjuries in the city and provides some basis for optimism in tackling it.
