The study is focussed on star rating and prioritization of accident black spots based on severity and likelihood of crashes. The study also includes prioritization of road safety measures, economic analysis, and investment plan for the same. The case study is based on a stretch on NH 44 in Delhi urban area of 18.38 km road length. The study is carried out on sixteen identified black spots along the stretch identified by Delhi police. The data has been analyzed using International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) software, “ViDA” and star rating scores have been calculated separately for vehicle occupants pedestrians, motor cyclists, and bicyclists separately for all black spots. The findings suggest that an investment of 32.73 crores for road safety countermeasures on these 16 black spots on NH-44 can save 9235 fatal and serious crashes in 20 years with net present value of economic benefits 181.2 crores coupled with benefit–cost ratio of 5.58.
