The study has adopted the qualitative research approach to garner an exploration into the role of Infrared Radiation sensors into the accident detection in hill stations. The nature of the study is analytical one and it adopted the secondary data sources to garner an insight into the subject matter. The key takeaways of the study has visualized that Pahalgam hill station is vulnerable to road accidents. There are variety of reasons including lesser road width, curved roads and others that have amplified the accidental profile of the hill station. In this background, the information technology has radically transformed the transportation sector. IT has inherent potential to develop the smart transportation mechanism that will detect and prevent the accidents. The proposed ‘Infrared Radiation Sensor’ model is the unique, cost-effective and sustainable solution to overcome the issues pertaining to accidents in curved roads in the hill stations. The model has inherent potentiality to reduce the accidents, prevent the human losses and minimize the economic damages through the smart and cost-effective approach. However, the issues of timely implementation limited financing and appropriate technology demands the timely intervention for effective implementation of the model.
