An integrated approach to minimising road crashes

The Hindu  

To analyse causes of road accidents and to devise safety interventions to reduce such road crashes, Andhra Pradesh has become a part of the Central Accident Database Management System. “IRAD is a comprehensive web-based Information Technology solution which will enable departments like Police, Transport, Road Engineering/Highway and health wing personnel to enter details of a road accident from different perspectives, such as investigation, road engineering and vehicle condition,” said Additional Transport Commissioner S.A.V. The new system will not only create a Centralised Accident Database, but also help the departments involved to identify and analyse the chief causes leading to road accidents and improve road safety measures effectively, he said. Under IRAD, he said, details including causes of road accidents, road engineering defaults, negligence on the part of individuals and patterns in accidents would be studied and strategies would be formed accordingly to reduce the number of accidents.
