Analysis identifies crash hotspots and suggests safety improvements in Bangladesh's Khulna-Rajshahi corridor, highlighting VRU risks.

The aim is to identify accident hotspots and evaluate land-use impacts on road safety, focusing on VRUs in the Khulna-Rajshahi corridor.
Analyzed police-reported accident data and VRU survey data with GIS tools.
Employed spatial techniques such as Kernel Density Estimation and Getis-Ord Gi∗ hotspot analysis.
Conducted Geographically Weighted Regression to assess road safety influences.
Identified significant clustering of accidents with Moran's I = 0.065, indicating non-random patterns.
Urban areas along the corridor reported 30-35 accidents per square kilometer.
Motorcyclists and pedestrians accounted for 77% of VRU incidents, especially near busy areas and junctions.

Jany et al. (2026) studied this question.
