Improper management of transport facilities result in significant disasters on nations' economy. Car accident, particularly in developing countries, becomes serious. Such problems may arise from inadequate skill of drivers, violation of traffic laws, the increase number private cars, irregular land features which obstructs the vision of drivers & pedestrians, lack of maintenance of vehicles, aged trucks & inadequate traffic management. To reverse such problems new technologies are underway like the intelligent transportation system which aids to manage transportation through electronic systems. This may take longer time to use it.
