ABSTRACT
The major objective of this research is to examine the variation
patterns of road traffic accident in Ilorin-Omu- Aran Road, Kwara State. The
study used secondary data of Accident records and vehicular situation were
obtained from the Nigeria police force (NPF) and Federal Road Safety Commission
(FRSC).
Chapter one of the projects deals and focused majorly on the
general introduction which consist of the definition and meaning of road
accident the aim and objectives of why the road accident should be minimized.
It also consists of the scope of the study and its significance to the study
generally.
Chapter
two of this write up deals with the literature review which consist of the view
of research as to the multiple approaches to road accident, the causes of road
accidents and the driver’s behaviors generally to highway and accident, which
also incorporate in details the effects of speed on roads by drivers.
The data
presentation and analysis considered the accident causes and the nature,
grouping it to fatal, serious, and minor.
Using Ilorin- Omu Aran road as a case study include
as the accidents photographs. The effect of accident was considered on the people

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Road
Traffic Accidents are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide,
especially in low-and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization
estimates that more than 3000 people are killed daily in road traffic accidents
globally, with at least 30.000 others inured or disabled, This adds up to over
1 million people killed and between 20-50 million injured or crippled in road
traffic crashes each year (Krug et al, 2000). The rising trend in morbidity and
mortality rates due to road traffic accidents in low-and middle-income
countries has moved some to declare road traffic accidents.
Road
Traffic Accident (R.T.A) remains a dreadful world over. The trend has been on
decline in most develop countries, while the reverse is the case in the
developing nation. Road Traffic Accident (R.T.A) as well as other accidents is effect
that happens very rapidly. Furthermore, they are culmination of chain unpleasant
can broken a potential accident prevented among the most obvious present
efforts to reduce the road traffic accident.
Those
concerned followed a single focus approach. Engineers m ay think only of
improvements of vehicles or roads, training for drivers and pedestrians and
laws enforcement and licensing officials of control and punishment. All play
importance roles, all those agencies attempt to eradicate highway accidents.
Sponsored organization such as Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Highway
Safety and research groups sponsored by the automobile manufacturers
association.
The
technical review journal described Nigeria as the most dangerous country in
terms of road hazards, statistical analysis and the rate of data on road
accident supplied by the Nigeria Police has reinforced this stigma. In the
United State of America, at least 54,000 death rate and 2 million injuries were
recorded in 1970.
The resulted
economics wasted was estimated at 13:6 million. A total of 18,749, peoples were
killed on Nigeria roads in the first decade after independence while 104,825
peoples were injured in the second decade i.e., 1997-1979, 57,136 peoples were
killed and 209,089 injured while in the third decade from 1983,the injured or armed which brings the total of 66 average
causalities per day.
Road
accident records within nearly 60-70% death rate in the country roads are
getting worst. Ignoring road warnings and danger signs to contribute to high
rate of accidents. With economic growth
over the years. The numbers of vehicle on road grew tremendously with increase in the rate of motor accidents from
1976.
1.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of this project is to
access the analysis and management of road accident.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this
project are as follow
- To study the causes of road
accident and some possible solution to it
- To collect the necessary
traffic data on roads
- To reduce the current high
rate of road accident.
1.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY
This
study will be of great important as it will clarify the relevance of road
(accident) on the traffic. The researches on road accident will stimulate and
reduce dangers and risks by discovering new ideas and comfort desired by
traveler and pedestrians on road. It will also contribute to the economy
stability and growth of the country which usually create fears for drivers and
road users. The study will also help the road users and the pedestrians in
enhancing a safe movement.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study entails analysis and Management of Road Accident Records, investigation in to the road accidents and its impact on travelers and lives generally, focusing on Ilorin -Omu-aran roads. some data are to be collected and analysis for the government to find remedy for the problem of roads and the hazards could be caused using Kwara as a case study.
