Abstract: The road accidents are common nowadays and the visibility of the driver is the prime factor in such accidents. Many lives as well as money have been lost during accidents. Reduction of blind spot area improves the area of visibility of the driver which leads towards the reduction of the accidents. This paper aims to optimise the blind spot area by considering the design parameters used in the design of rear view mirror in heavy vehicles. This is achieved by using a hybrid multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach by integrating complex proportional assessment of alternatives (COPRAS) technique and entropy measurement. The effectiveness of the developed model is proved by a case study conducted in a public transport corporation located in the southern part of India.
