Deadline: 19-Sep-23
The Tiruppur District Road Safety Committee in collaboration with StartupTN is excited to organize ‘Vibathilla Tiruppur’ Road Safety Ideathon 2023, for safer roads in Tiruppur district.
Challenges/ Areas to improve
- High Accident Rates: Certain places called hotspots have a high number of road accidents, resulting in injuries, fatalities, and property damage. Identifying major accident areas and understanding the contributing factors is vital for effective intervention.
- Comprehensive data Analysis: The absence of in-depth analysis hampers the identification of patterns and the development of targeted solutions.
- Potential development Infrastructure: Some roads and intersections lack appropriate infrastructure, such as signage, speed-calming measures, and pedestrian facilities. Inadequate road design and maintenance contribute to accidents and jeopardize road user safety.
- Improvement of compliance with Traffic Regulations: There is a need to address non-compliance with traffic rules and regulations among road users, including drivers, pedestrians, and two-wheeler riders. Effective enforcement mechanisms are required to improve compliance and reduce risky behaviours.
