Fuzzy Logic Based Approach for Possibility of Road Accidents

Abstract

Deaths and injuries occurring from road accidents remain severe issue globally. Currently, it is estimated by the World Health Organization that deaths from road accident have increased to 1.35 million a year. This shows closely 3700 people are dying on the world's roads each day, every year 50 millions are disabled or injured. These fatalities take a massive toll on families as well as on communities. Some of the reasons for this increase in road accidents are rapid urbanization, lack of enforcement, poor safety standards, people driving fatigued or distracted, influence of alcohol, drugs, speeding, failure to wear helmets, seat-belts etc. The fact is every one of these deaths as well as injuries can be preventable by enforcing operational measures such as safety standards for vehicles and roads. Hence, this paper analyzes the possibility of road accident for different distraction parameters.
