ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First of all, we would like to give our gratitude to instructor Ashenafi Aregawi (PhD) for giving
this chance to study and analyze the Amhara region traffic crash analysis. Next, we would like to
send our deepest thankful message to ANRS police commission traffic police security assurance
office in general and to Commander Mulugeta Bazie & Sergeant Atsede Addis in particular for
their good handling and information feeding during raw data collection.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In this project, we try to address the main traffic crash analysis steps like, planning, implementation
and evaluation.
The data collection is conducted by the traffic police, organized and stored by the office of Amhara
police commission. Traffic crash in the ANRS police is analyzed & classified based on the crashing
vehicle damage and crash severity based on vehicles damage (serious, intermediate & minor) and
on crash severity (fatal, injury & PDO). In general, the data collection method in the region is more
closed to what we learnt in the course traffic safety and environmental impact.
There are two main techniques to storage and manage traffic crash data, the first involves the
manual filing of each completed accident report form in the offices of the appropriate police
agency and the second technique involves the use of a computer where each item of information
on the report form is encoded and stored in a computer file.
Data analysis is based on the collected data and blackspot zones are identified. But black spot
identification method in the region is far from the actual science because it doesnt consider any
exposures to classifies the location is hazardous or not.
Generally, the health risk of the region increases slightly from 2.8 to 3.6 per 100,000 people and
traffic system risk is decreased from 632 to 160 per 10,000 vehicles.

GROUP PROJECT

INTRODUCTION

This term project was prepared for the partial fulfillment of the course traffic safety and
environmental impact. The main focus of the term project is to conduct traffic crash analysis using
the actual traffic crash data from Amahara national regional state traffic police.

PROBLEM STATEMENTS

Initial idea
Find out the following information from Amahara national regional state police commission
a) How does traffic police classify traffic crash/injury severity (severity level) occurred in a
road section?
b) How do they define crash black spot? Which crash location methods are being used by the
office of traffic police to identify traffic crash black spot in the zone?
c) How does the traffic police office collect and manage traffic crash data? When a crash in
a specific location occurred, what type of data do the traffic police collect for that specific
crash?
d) How does the regional traffic police office manage crashes that happen throughout the
region?
e) Get the traffic accident data of five consecutive years and determine the health risk and
traffic risk in each year for the region. Show the motorization Vs health risk and
motorization Vs traffic risk relationships.
f) What are the traffic safety measures considered in the region to reduce the severity of traffic
crashes?
g) How does the traffic police office work in collaboration with other organizations and
stakeholders to improve the traffic safety problem?

SOLUTIONS

Based on the initial idea that listed in the problem statement we collected the following project
input from the specified office.
a) The traffic crash in the ANRS police is classified based on the crashing vehicle damage
and crash severity.
Based on vehicles damage
Serious damage
Intermediate damage
Minor damage
Based on crash severity
Fatal
Injury
Property damage only
b) The blackspot zones being identified by using several techniques among those
techniques hazardous location identification is one. Hazardous locations are sites where
crash frequencies, calculated on the basis of the same exposure data, are higher than
the expected value for other similar locations or conditions. Several methods have been
used to identify and prioritize hazardous locations. The common method of analysis
involves the determination of crash rates based on the same exposure data for the study
site with apparent high rates and several other sites with similar traffic and geometric
characteristics. A technique that is used to identify possible hazardous locations is
known as the critical CRF method.

Where CR is critical crash rate, per 100 million vehicles miles

TF is test factors, TB is traffic base and AVR is average crash rate.

But from actual interview we had been observed that, the black spot is being identified
by comparing the number of crash occurred in the specific location with other location
within same period of time, but not consider any exposures. The advanced method to
apply on the identification of hazardous location is in progress within the collaboration
of federal police college and ANRS police commission.
c) All relevant information is usually recorded by the police on an accident report form.
The type of form used are typical completed form will include information on the
location, time of occurrence, roadway and environmental conditions, types and number
of vehicles involved, a sketch showing the original paths of the maneuver or maneuvers
of the vehicles involved, and the severity (fatal, injury, or property damage only). The
regional traffic crash data collected from each member domains of the region (zones),
in the region there are 13 zones and each zone submit the crash data in every month
within appropriate data format attached here. The ANRS police commission also
submit the crash data report to federal police commission in every 3 months. The crash
data type being collected in the region is crash type, location type, the crash being
committed and damage severity. Factors mainly involved in the crash also identified.
One of the format being used in the ANRS traffic police office crash severity by vehicle type.

Figure 3-1 Crash severity by vehicle type

a) In general, there are two main techniques to storage and manage traffic crash data, the
first involves the manual filing of each completed accident report form in the offices of

the appropriate police agency and the second technique involves the use of a computer
where each item of information on the report form is encoded and stored in a computer
file. The first technique is suitable for areas where the total number of crashes is less
than 500 per year and may be used when the total number is between 500 and 1000
annually. But the second technique is suitable for areas where the total number of
crashes per year is greater than 500. The regional traffic police office manages the
traffic crash data by obtaining the raw data from each zone and investigate in the office
by looking only the crash number of vehicles. The most higher number of crash having
zones are identified and field inspection is performed, after the field observation, the
remedial measure to minimize the crash severity is plan and the action plan is
redistributed to the zone police office. The first technique (manual data
storage/retrieval of data) is being used by ANRS traffic police office even if the annual
crash data is greater than 500.
b) The seven-year traffic crash data have been collected from ANRS traffic police office
by capturing photo from hard copy and encoded in to Microsoft office Excel manually.
The data start from 2004 E.C to 2009 E.C but 2008 E.C data is not available in the
office. All annually reported crash data by the year from previous to recent are attached
here.
