Análisis de Siniestralidad Vial en Puntos Críticos de la Ciudad de Tunja – Boyacá.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the road accident rate in critical points of the city of Tunja - Boyacá, for this, six critical points of the city were identified based on traffic accidents occurred between the years 2018 to 2021. Followed by this, a road safety inspection was performed by applying the methodological guide for the development of road safety audits and inspections for Colombia obtained from the Agencia Nacional de Seguridad Vial, from which checklists were used and the respective findings were determined in order to obtain the level of risk for each of the sections. Subsequently, the generalized linear mixed model combined with negative binomial was applied using RStudio software, which evaluates the factors that influence the frequency of traffic accidents, and a survey was conducted with 303 users in order to know their perspective on infrastructure and behavior regarding road safety in the city. Finally, measures are proposed to mitigate and/or reduce road accidents in the city in the sites identified as dangerous.
