“…5,500 crore Indian rupees) (World Bank). In 2009 only, 1.27 lakh people died in road accident in India resulting a financial cost of approximately 1,36,000 crore Indian rupees (Mondal et al, 2011). Therefore, road accidents can be easily compared with gigantic infamous tsunami.…”

“…Andrey et al [46] confirmed that an increase in the number of precipitations increased RTAs and injuries by 75%. In contrast, a few studies have reported that there is a negative association between rainfall and RTA, as drivers adjusts their behavior during rainfall [44,60,61]. For example, Mondal et al [60] reported that accident severity decreased significantly during rain compared with fine weather in India.…”

For example, Mondal et al [60] reported that accident severity decreased significantly during rain compared with fine weather in India. They also stated that the extra care of drivers during rainy days, low vehicle speed due to traffic congestion, and runoff effect could be the reasons for this negative relationship between rainfall and RTAs.…”

The potential costs of road traffic accidents (RTAs) to society are immense. Yet, no study has attempted to examine the impact of climate change on RTAs in Saudi Arabia, though RTA-leading deaths are very high, and the occurrence of climatic events is very frequent. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of climate change on RTAs in Saudi Arabia and to recommend some climate change mitigation and adaptation policies to make roads safe for all. This study employed annual data from 13 regions of Saudi Arabia, from 2003 to 2013. The data were analyzed on the basis of panel regression models-fixed effect, random effect, and the pooled ordinary least square. The findings show that temperature, rainfall, sandstorms, and number of vehicles were statistically and significantly responsible for RTAs in Saudi Arabia in the study period. This study also found that RTAs both inside and outside cities significantly caused injuries, but only RTAs inside cities significantly caused death. Furthermore, the death from RTAs injuries was found to be statistically significant only for motor vehicle accidents. The findings will assist policymakers in taking the right courses of action to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change through understanding climate influence on RTAs.

“…From the review, the impact of road faulty towards the occurrence of road accident can be divided into quality of the road surface, road condition, road geometric design and type of roadways. Firstly in terms of the road surface quality, most of the studies (n = 7) conducted in several countries like Saudi Arabia, US, Mexico, China, Canada and India reported that wet road surface significantly caused road accident [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Apart from that, slippery road has been reported to lead the accident causation especially in US and several other countries like Finland, Malaysia and Iran [10,[12][13][14][15][16].…”

Road accident statistics has been reported increasing over the years and become one of the significant death contributors worldwide. In response towards this issue, appropriate countermeasures need to be outlined. Proposing a preventive plan requires comprehensive understanding on factors behind the occurrence of road accident. Therefore, this review paper aimed at investigating the factors behind the occurrence of road accident focusing on the technical factors. A review over five academic databases such as Emerald, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science and Wiley Online Library has been conducted leading towards an overall finding of 2462 related records. After screening and reviewing the records, only 38 studies were included. The result of the review indicated several technical factors in terms of road and vehicle faulty toward the occurrence of road accident.
