Accident Resolution Teams (ARTs) an Endeavour Towards Knowledge and Evidence-Based Road Engineering Interventions

India, being a rapidly developing country with expanding economy, has its own issues as regarding road traffic accidents due to rapid proliferation of motorisation. Since the situation differs significantly between cities, it is important to evolve city-specific policies for safety intervention priorities. In view of the above, this research work examine, towards efficient and effective road engineering interventions for Patiala City (Punjab state).
