Synopsis TRoads are the main arteries of a city. A road network and its standard indicate the status of a city. Road transportation is under stress due to an increase both in population and vehicles. The expansion of road infrastructure is not in sync with an increase in population and hence improper traffic management practices especially in developing countries. The apathy shown towards the road transportation system, lack of enforcement and improper road culture have resulted in a global epidemic called Road Traffic Injuries (RTI). Across the world, about 1.2 million people lose their lives and as many as 50 millions get injured annually in road crashes. Out of which, 85% of the deaths and 90% of the injuries occur in developing countries. This costs developing countries about 1-3% of their GNP. This book is divided into three sections. Section I discusses the causes responsible for road accidents like alcohol, human error, bad roads, defective vehicles etc. Section II talks about technical and, non-technical steps to curb this disaster, like Intelligent Traffic System (ITS), Road Safety Index, Emergency Medical Services and other tools. Section III consists of country experiences and cases like Impact of Road Crashes on the Poor (Bangalore and Bangladesh).
