Impact of highway design on traffic safety: How geometric elements affect accident risk

The study conducted in India using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is a novel approach to predicting traffic accident rates on rural highways. By various highway geometric elements as input data, the was able identify risk variables related roadway features and predict FIS. findings of suggest that FIS valuable tool for can help factors contribute accidents. also found statistically significant positive connections between rates, which highlights importance design safety measures. use Systems prediction promising it allows more comprehensive understanding complex relationships contributing model tested simulation data analysis fit well with real-world indicating its potential practical applications road management. Overall, this provides important insights into highways guide future research area. It considering designing safer implementing appropriate measures reduce rates. However, accidents have impacts ecological cycles, including habitat fragmentation, wildlife mortality, pollution, climate change.
