Data mining approach to analyse the road accidents in India

Abstract

Despite all that has been done to promote Road Safety in India so far, there are always regions that fall prey to the vulnerabilities that linger on in every corner. The heterogeneity of these vulnerability-inducing causes leads to the need for an effective analysis so as to subdue the alarming figures by a significant amount. The objective of this paper is to have data mining to come to aid to create a model that not only smooths out the heterogeneity of the data by grouping similar objects together to find the accident prone areas in the country with respect to different accident-factors but also helps determine the association between these factors and casualties.
