Abstract

Road traffic accidents are a significant concern in urban areas, reflecting the challenges of rapid urbanization and increasing vehicular population. This study analyzes accident data from Bengaluru City between 2015 and 2022, focusing on fatal and non-fatal cases, along with the associated injuries and fatalities. The findings reveal fluctuations in accident statistics, with a notable decline in cases during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to provide insights into accident trends and offers recommendations for improving road safety and reducing accidents.
