A Design Thinking Approach On Road Accidents: Statistics And Reasoning

Abstract

Road accidents continue to be a significant public health concern worldwide, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of their patterns, causes, and potential mitigation strategies. Design thinking approach is applied on this present research where the secondary data are collected from previously published works from various sources covering road accident statistics, highlighting trends, patterns, and key risk factors. In addition to this, the present research covers the Type of Road Accidents, Nature of Road Accidents, State Wise Road Accidents, Sources of Road Accidents in India, and the mitigation meaures taken by the Government of India. By analyzing these statistics, researchers have identified key risk factors, enabling the development of targeted interventions. By synthesizing the findings from diverse research endeavors, this literature review contributes a nuanced perspective on road accidents, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches. The insights gathered from this review inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, guiding evidence-based interventions and policies aimed at reducing road accidents and promoting overall road safety.
