Abstract
The study was carried out to produce an advisory system based on the blackspot accidents mapping at the North-South Expressway (NSE). Blackspots are location where the road traffic crashes have historically concentrated by type of accident in which the accident caused fatalities, severe injuries, minor injuries and damage. This research aims to identify accident blackspot and plotting accident data into a digital map of the study area to produce advisory systems for highway users. The software used in this study namely Google Earth Pro, ArcMap and ArcGIS online. Results showed that blackspot location are known in the form of mapping where it can be performed online. In addition, the path with high number of accident points weightage location were identified and prioritized. By applying Google Earth Pro and ArcGIS software, the advisory system was created, and these blackspot locations can also be easily accessed by highway users. Therefore, the advisory system helps in facilitate the users for trip planning base on the accident status locations as a precautionary measure and initiative to reduce the rate of road accident in expressway.
