CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Road Traffic Accidents are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in low-and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 3000 people are killed daily in road traffic accidents globally, with at least 30.000 others inured or disabled, This adds up to over 1 million people killed and between 20-50 million injured or crippled in road traffic crashes each year (Krug et al, 2000). The rising trend in morbidity and mortality rates due to road traffic accidents in low-and middle-income countries has moved some to declare road traffic accidents.
Road Traffic Accident (R.T.A) remains a dreadful world over. The trend has been on decline in most develop countries, while the reverse is the case in the developing nation. Road Traffic Accident (R.T.A) as well as other accidents is effect that happens very rapidly. Furthermore, they are culmination of chain unpleasant can broken a potential accident prevented among the most obvious present efforts to reduce the road traffic accident.
Those concerned followed a single focus approach. Engineers m ay think only of improvements of vehicles or roads, training for drivers and pedestrians and laws enforcement and licensing officials of control and punishment. All play importance roles, all those agencies attempt to eradicate highway accidents. Sponsored organization such as Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Highway Safety and research groups sponsored by the automobile manufacturers association.
The technical review journal described Nigeria as the most dangerous country in terms of road hazards, statistical analysis and the rate of data on road accident supplied by the Nigeria Police has reinforced this stigma. In the United State of America, at least 54,000 death rate and 2 million injuries were recorded in 1970.
The resulted economics wasted was estimated at 13:6 million. A total of 18,749, peoples were killed on Nigeria roads in the first decade after independence while 104,825 peoples were injured in the second decade i.e., 1997-1979, 57,136 peoples were killed and 209,089 injured while in the third decade from 1983,the injured or armed which brings the total of 66 average causalities per day.
Road accident records within nearly 60-70% death rate in the country roads are getting worst. Ignoring road warnings and danger signs to contribute to high rate of accidents. With economic growth over the years. The numbers of vehicle on road grew tremendously with increase in the rate of motor accidents from 1976.
1.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of this project is to access the analysis and management of road accident.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this project are as follow
I. To study the causes of road accident and some possible solution to it
II. To collect the necessary traffic data on roads
III. To reduce the current high rate of road accident.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTThe major objective of this research is to examine the variation patterns of road traffic accident in Ilorin-Omu- Aran Road, Kwara State. The study used secondary data of Accident records and vehicular situation were obtained from the Nigeria police force (NPF) and Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC). Chapter one of the projects deals and focused majorly on the general introduction which consist of the definition and meaning of road accident the aim and objectives of why t ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]It touches on the development of real time analytical accident avoidance technology systems, transport information systems, and introduces the notion of highly automated accident analysis and policy response tools. Details of data analysis tools in particular those used in computational geography is given in the chapter 3. Back to this chapters section 2 is concerned with reviewing literature about the geography of road accidents incidence, where several sections of Whitelegg 1986 are quoted. As ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 5 ]CHAPTER THREEMETHODOLOGY3.0 DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSISData for the study were mainly obtained from police accident records and were complemented with data from research reports and articles, and national statistical abstracts, and newspapers. The author reviewed the statistics for the years 1970 to 2001, disaggregated by administrative councils. The records contained information on crash severity (either fatal, serious, or minor), categories of road users affected, vehicles involved, a ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FOUR4.0 RESULT AND DISCUSSION From the table 3.0-3.5, the July month has the highest recorded accident of 21.The total number of fatal accident was estimated as 20, while the total serious accident was recorded as 88, then the minor cases was estimated as 16, within the year of 2013. From the estimate, the accident occurrence is zigzag for it increase and decrease not accordingly but in terms of occurrence. With reference to the statistic information gathered bo ...

It can be seen that human, vehicle, environmental and roadways characteristics are salient factors that are responsible for road traffic crashes in South Western Nigeria.It was established that road traffic crashes can be prevented by embarking on various crashes prevention and reduction strategies such as edu ...
