Accident examination assumes an imperative part in transportation framework. Examination of mishap is critical on the grounds that it can uncover the connection between the distinctive kinds of ascribes that adds to a accident. Qualities that influence the accident can be characteristic, condition properties, movement traits and so on. Breaking down accident can give the data about the commitment of these characteristics which can be used to defeat the accident rate. These days, Data mining is a famous system for inspecting the railway accident dataset. This paper presents various research work done in past in the field of rail accident analysis using data mining as a review and also discussed about the cause of accidents and role of data mining in the analysis of accidents.
