Abstract
An attempt has been made in the present study to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) based user-friendly accident data management system for selected locations of Surat city, Gujarat, India. The accident data management system offers a platform to maintain and update accident database and use it for further analysis. In the present study, the GIS database has been developed with the help of MapInfo10.5, a geographic mapping and analysis tool to locate accident-prone areas quickly and accurately on a map. Accident data management system is purposely designed in a user friendly manner to suit people who are not familiar with computers and it follows Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern and is created using JSP - servlets. Major functionalities of the present system are accident data reporting as per Indian Roads Congress (IRC 53, 2012) guidelines and statistical analysis of accident data. The findings from the present study highlights the necessity of developing GIS data base and user-friendly accident data management system for effective planning, design, construction, analysis, operation, maintenance, and administration of transportation systems and facilities.
