‘46% fell between two-wheeled riders was fatal in TN ‘

On average 46% of themselves or a single vehicle accident among two-wheeled riders in the state are fatal, a study by the Institute of Indian Technology, Madras (IIT-M) has shown.
This number increased by 19% if the driver fell into the tree, with 65% of such an accident resulted in death.
While some studies have been taken on accidents on the road and contributing factors, they hardly discussed a single vehicle accident.
IIT-M recently concluded the study of such crashes, called ‘own fall’ by local law enforcement agencies.
The team studied Tamil Nadu Naducents data on a single vehicle motorcycle jammed from 2009 to 2017 to investigate potential risk factors that contributed to the severity of the crash.
A total of 16,542 motorcycle crashes of a single vehicle have been reported in the country in 2009 to 2017.
The research team divides accidents into several categories such as collisions with trees, collisions with stationary vehicles, with falling objects, etc., and find that death between cases in Where riders hit a tree were 65%, 19% higher than the average death in their own fall (46%).
Of the 831 motorbike riders who hit a tree, 541 died both in place or within 30 days of the accident.
Professor Venkatesh Balasubramanian, one of the research authors, said, “While trees play an important role in ancient times of animal-based transportation, they can be more than obstacles in the current scenario”.
From a policy perspective, a clearer understanding of the crash pattern can guide the authority to provide effective precautions to reduce death and injury, said Balasubramanian.
Kamal Soi National Street Panel Member said most of the single vehicle accidents occurred on the state highway or district road where stationary objects were banned 30 meters from the streets on both sides.
“Only a diameter of a diameter of 6m is permitted on the road like that because they do not cause a lot of damage,” SOI said, emphasizing the need for proactive steps to ensure the rules followed.
At present, trees on such roads are accessed only after accidents that often occur.
The study also found death among various regions in the state.
Fatality because it fell itself was 4.4% more in the Western District of Tamil Nadu at 48%.
This study shows that industrial corridors in Coimbatore, Salem, Erode and Tirupur have higher self death and say it can be caused by street infrastructure that requires a significant increase.
In the northern district, where the infra road is better, fell fatal much less.
But this fatal accident rose during the rainy season, because of the stretch of road surfaces (slipping due to puddles and holes.
