| Abstract | This study illustrates the early results of on-going research started under a recent project sponsored by the United Kingdom Government Transport Department to investigate the principal factors influencing road accidents as well as develop an internet application for the prediction of road accident-related effects at different scales. In particular, accident modelling, analysis of socio–economic, land use, infrastructural and contextual factors of road safety, as well as decision-making support are the focus of this work. In particular, an application in the United Kingdom of a model framework potentially transferable to other contexts is described. This application resulted in an extensive analysis of road safety factors as well as the development of a simulation web-based platform that uses microeconometric models to estimate the frequency of road accident along with the number and severity of injuries. These models proved considerable accuracy at the national level. In the end, the potential benefit of the simulation platform for road safety decision-making is showcased on a micro-scale with an application to a medium-sized town in South East England. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
