Accident analysis using ArcGIS is a powerful tool for understanding the factors that contribute to traffic accidents and for identifying strategies for improving traffic safety. ArcGIS, a geographic information system (GIS) software developed by Esri, allows for the integration and analysis of a wide range of spatial and non-spatial data, including information on road infrastructure, traffic volume, land use, and accident locations and characteristics. This paper discusses the use of ArcGIS in accident analysis, including the types of data that can be analyzed, the methods and techniques that have been developed for analyzing and visualizing this data, and the challenges and limitations of using ArcGIS for accident analysis. The review also suggests directions for future research in this area. Overall, the use of ArcGIS in accident analysis has the potential to significantly improve our understanding of traffic accidents and to support the development of effective strategies for improving traffic safety.

Road safety auditing is a systematic process for identifying and evaluating potential safety problems on roads and highways, and for proposing solutions to these problems. It involves a thorough examination of the physical and operational characteristics of a road or highway, as well as the behaviors of road users, in order to identify and prioritize safety concerns. This paper discusses the various methods and techniques that are used in the process. The paper also examines the role of road safety auditing in the broader context of road safety management, including the ways in which it can be integrated with other safety improvement strategies such as engineering, education, and enforcement. The review concludes by discussing the potential challenges and limitations of road safety auditing, and suggesting directions for future research in this area. Overall, road safety auditing is an important tool for improving the safety of roads and highways and for reducing the incidence of traffic accidents.
