An accident is defined as an incident which involves one or more vehicles on a lane of road and causing losses of properties, injuries and fatalities. Accident could be caused by several factors, such as human behavior, vehicles, road conditions, and environment. This research is intended to identify the accident characteristics, to identify accident black-spots, and to obtain the relationship between accident rate and traffic characteristics and road geometry in two different topographies, lowland and highland regions. The location as a case study is Malang District (located at East Java Province). The results shows that the changing of traffic characteristics and road geometry could significantly increase or decrease the accidents occurrence rate, however the different results were obtained from different types of topography. In this study, several black spot locations in highland and lowland regions and some important accident characteristics in Malang District were identified.
