About Alpesh Chavda

At SaveLIFE Foundation, I serve as a Team Leader spearheading multiple Zero Fatality Corridor (ZFC) projects across high-risk highways in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka. I work closely with key government stakeholders such as MoRTH, NHAI, MSRDC, Highway Police, District Police, and RTOs, driving evidence-based interventions to reduce road crash fatalities and make India\'s roads safer.With more than 7 years of specialized experience in forensic crash investigation, project management, and data-driven road safety, I have led the scientific investigation of over crashes, including mass fatality incidents up to 25 fatalities in a single crash, helping uncover root causes, recommend actionable countermeasures and formulating the robust strategies. My technical expertise spans road safety audits (RSA), blackspot identification & rectification, crash reconstruction, injury biomechanics, RCVA assessments, and implementation of AI-based enforcement systems.Under the Vision Zero mission, I have led multiple India’s most impactful ZFC initiatives and achieved considerable reduction in fatalities.Previously, I led the RASSI project in Ahmedabad at JP Research India, where I conducted over 800 scientific crash investigations and developed one of India’s largest crash data repositories, working in coordination with Ahmedabad Traffic Police, Gujarat Road Safety Authority, RTO, AMC, and OEMs.I am passionate about upskilling professionals and enforcement officers, and have delivered several capacity-building workshops for law enforcement, engineers, trauma care teams, and transport officials.Through the lens of the 4 Es of Road Safety—Engineering, Enforcement, Emergency, and Education—I aim to transform crash data into lifesaving interventions. Committed to the mission of saving lives, I strive each day to bring scientific insight and leadership to India’s road safety landscape.
