The Need of The Hour: Accident Investigation Training In India | IRTE

Accident investigation training in India is a field which has not got the attention it deserves. Individuals who investigate on-road accidents lack the requisite skills for the job. This is one of the foremost reasons why there is a gap in the execution of a proper investigation.

People in the field of accident investigation training in India lack the tools to record the evidence scientifically. These tools can help in reaching the root cause of an incident, the entire chain of events and the underlying causes.

A thorough investigation prevents a blame game and helps to pinpoint what exactly happened and who is to be blamed.

The aim is to prevent the road user from being blamed for all accidents. Producing solid proof of any wrongdoing on the road by a rider or a driver is the way to achieve that.

The Need For Accident Investigation Training In India

Every day so many people suffer injuries due to on-road incidents. A lot of people also die due to such incidents. Proper accident investigation can help to curb the menace by enabling individuals to uncover the ‘why’, ‘how’, ‘when’, ‘where’ and most importantly the ‘who’ of a lot of such incidents.

This would help uncover the entire scenario and bring those who are guilty to justice.

The Role Of IRTE

One institution, which is vigorously attempting to curb this menace through their efforts is the Institute of Road Traffic Education (IRTE). Their Collision Analysis & Research Laboratory ( CRASH Lab), has been developed by the organisation’s in-house research wing.

Along with road safety investigation, the CRASH Lab technology also helps in conducting road safety audits, highway management programmes and journey risk management.


Maintaining safety on the road should be the top priority for traffic law enforcers. Accident investigation training in India needs to be a top priority for the traffic police department.

Why Should Road Safety Education Be an Integral Part of a Kids’ Learning? | IRTE

Road safety education should be an integral part of a growing child’s education, be it at home or school. It is vital to drive home the importance of obeying traffic rules and regulations early in life. Teaching kids and young adults the basic traffic rules and inculcating in them a habit of road safety will help in driving a positive change in the society at large. Importance of Road Safety Education for Children We cannot accompany our kids everywhere and must teach them to become alert and be conscious of their safety. One such area where we should educate them is road safety. From a young age itself, we must explain the importance of a few fundamental road safety rules to them. Sadly, kids can longer cycle without a care on the streets. The increasing number of cars, buses, scooters, cycles, motorcycles, people etc. has led to jams, errant driving and an unsafe road environment. Poor road traffic management, roads in a dismal state, lack of proper signage are crucial re

Urgent Need for an Efficient Road Infrastructure and Meaningful Traffic Rules and Regulations | Towards Road to Safety | IRTE

An alarming 410 deaths take place on Indian roads every day. That’s around 1,50,000 in a year - equivalent to the entire population of many small-sized countries in the world. So virtually, it’s like a country being wiped out! So, wherein lies the problem? Traffic rules and regulations not being followed? Poor road engineering? Faulty signages and traffic signals? Inadequate and outdated road safety equipment? Lack of training? Inconclusive and skewed rules? Corrupt law enforcers? A general apathy in the system? The answer is, all the above. There is an urgent need to look at our country’s road network in entirety – roads, equipment, vehicles and people and make drastic changes quickly. The Indian roads and the Indian people are in dire need of a reprieve. The alarming increase in the numbers of accidents and deaths indicate that merely increasing fines and penalties are futile and self-limiting. Only when coupled with improving the road infrastructure can the traffic laws in Ind

How Technology is changing Traffic Law Enforcement! | IRTE

Technology advancements have come as a blessing for traffic law enforcement agencies. The rapid expansion of technology has set the stage for new, innovative tools that help the officers to serve their communities better. To adequately curb the dangerous driving behaviour on the road - such as running red lights and speeding,  road traffic law enforcement authorities require tools that can help them not only monitor traffic speeds, but also catch the faulty motorists in the act.  The technology needs to be reliable and accurate enough to withstand the challenging environments and dynamic weather conditions that exist on highways and roads. Radar cameras and speed measurement systems are being used to deter speeding vehicles and thus reduce accident rates on the road. ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) is applied to reduce the human resource cost for detecting traffic violations.  Traffic law enforcement equipment:  In the past, law enforcement relied on devices such
