Walking is the most sustainable and most use mode of transportation in Indian cities. In 2012-13, an estimated 520 accidents in
non-motorized (38% of the total road accidents) occurred in Vadodara. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of
utilizing geographic information system (GIS) in identifying pedestrian accident prone locations. Crash data were geocoded in
