Abstract
Even though the road development authorities are trying to keep pace with the developmental activities of the city, the threshold has been reached and new solutions to control the traffic congestion has to be taken. No sooner will the state of roads in Gurugram be like the highly congested roads of Delhi the neighboring city. If appropriate measures are not taken at the right time, it will be a never-ending problem, as roads cannot be widened at a later stage. The traffic congestion is presently concentrated near the market places, schools, colleges and government offices at peak hours. The total numbers of vehicles in the year 2003-04 were only 10,912, which had increased to 60,100 in the year 2022-23. The present research focused on the development of roads and its networks and the growth of vehicles registered within the city. The fatalities due to road accidents were also mapped to identify the locations with high severity of accidents. The kernel density for the accidents was analyzed for the highest number of occurrences per square kilometers of distances. The road accidents in the city is showing an increasing trend which is at an alarming state. If proper action is taken at the moment, the number of occurrences can be reduced. Several measures are suggested in the last chapter that can be followed to reduce the issues related to congestion and accidents. The use of GIS by the traffic police department can also help them monitor and manage the traffic congestions, study the incidences and reduce the fatalities by accidents.
