Abstract
According to available statistics, every year thousands of people in Iran die or become disabled due to road accidents, which is considered a national disaster.the purpose of this article is to prioritize the accident-prone points of the Ilam-Hamil-Kermanshah axis and provide a solution for its improvement. In the upcoming research, the parameters involved in this axis, such as the number of accidents, road conditions, traffic, etc., are examined and the route is prioritized based on these parameters. The data of the Ilam-Hamil-Kermanshah route was obtained from the traffic council of Ilam province, and then 12 accident-prone points were analyzed based on 8 criteria. After designing the questionnaire, 44 experts were asked to rate the decision matrices, and then weights and maps and charts were prepared for each of the criteria based on fuzzy AHP. Then the final weight of the options was calculated and the priority of accident-prone points with very high risk, high risk, medium risk and low risk was done. According to the fuzzy AHP prioritization, the accident-prone points with a very high risk are Qalandar parking lot, Tang Qir, Azadi tunnel, and environmental bend, and the high-risk accident point is Imamzadeh Hasan intersection. The accident-prone points with medium risk are the one-way intersections of Sarablah, Bankul, the intersection of Siahkhor and Karim Hasteh villages, and the intersections of Cheshme Khazane village, Lalabad intersection, and Karzan intersection are low-risk accident-prone points.
