According to the recent report by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH, 2018), in India a total of 467,044 accidents have been reported claiming 151,417 lives and causing injuries to 469,418 persons. Little has been explored to understand the risk factors associated with the behaviour of occupants and pedestrians, particularly in developing nations. The primary objective of this study is to examine the possible causes and the contributing factors to the crashes. Pedestrian crashes and commonly faced behavioural problem of occupants (drivers) which contributes significantly to the crashes but are least explored in the context of developing nations (i.e) Pedestrian hit-and-run crashes and exceeding speed limits are studied. Pedestrian hit-and-run crashes are a serious road safety problem threatening the world especially in developing economies like India. Traffic deaths and injuries due to speeding (i.e., driving above the speed limits) and inappropriate speed (i.e., driving too fast for the given conditions, within limits) is another most important driver error responsible for crashes in India. For exploring pedestrian related crashes, Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), an exploratory data analysis technique was used to explore the roadway, traffic, crash, and pedestrian-related variables influencing pedestrian crashes. The results of this study identifies a possible association between various significant contributing factors. Predictive crash models were developed to investigate risk factors associated with behaviours of occupants through logistic regression models. The models developed in this research work have viable applications including the identification of critical factors, which influence the occupant’s behaviours on road. The results support the idea that identifying influencing factors could improve the safety aspects of the occupants and pedestrians in the developing nations. Moreover, policies and road safety strategies are discussed to safeguard the occupant behaviours and pedestrians in Indian context.
