Highway Accident in Bangladesh, its Cause and Possible Solution. Data, study.

1. TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING - I
An Overview of Road Accident

2. INTRODUCTION
 An accident is an unexpected occurrence of
physical damage to animate inanimate
structure. Road accident in
particular is now acknowledged to be a
global phenomenon with authorities in
virtually all countries of the
world concerned about the growth in the
number of people killed and seriously
injured on their roads.

3. OVERVIEW OF ACCIDENT
 Sustained declining trends in road fatalities in
developed countries have been attributed to
concerted efforts in
many areas, including effective coordination,
community involvement, research on road safety
initiatives, the
promotion of good road safety practices and
improved targeting of resources.

4. OVERVIEW OF ACCIDENT
 Worldwide, the number of people killed in road traffic
crashes is estimated to be 1.3 million, with another 50
million
injured each year. More than 85 percent of these
casualties and 96 percent of total child deaths, occur in
low and
middle income countries. Road traffic deaths are
predicted to increase by 83 percent in low-income and
middleincome countries (if no major action is taken) and
to decrease by 27 percent in high-income countries over
the next 20
years.

5. IN BANGLADESH
 Road traffic accidents have now become a great
social concern in Bangladesh and the situation is
deteriorating. The
annual economic wastage occasioned by traffic
accidents is estimated to be in the order of 2 to 3
percent of the GDP.
Each year, there are at least 3,000 fatalities and
3,000 grievous and simple injuries from around 3,500
police reported
accidents on Bangladesh roads.

6. IN BANGLADESH
 Other sources estimated the fatalities as high as
from 12,000 to 20,000 per year. Thus,
the safety problem is very severe by international
standards with some 60 to 150 fatalities per
10,000 motor vehicles
in Bangladesh compared to around 25, 16, 2 and
1.4 in India, Srilanka, the USA and UK
respectively
