Revisión de metodologías existentes sobre la geometría de la carretera para generar modelos de predicción de accidentes en carreteras rurales de dos carriles

Abstract

Abstract:Traffic accidents around the world are one of the leading causes of death. Within these highways, geometric elements can cause traffic accidents to occur more frequently within a section, if the previous design of the road was not adequate or is inconsistent at the time that a driver transits through this road, and a type of road in which traffic accidents occur frequently, are rural two-lane roads. For this reason, a bibliographic review is presented on predictive models for two-lane rural roads, referring to geometric elements.The results obtained in this work were based on the variables used, such as horizontal curves, lane width, berm width, slope, among others, when searching for information. This is how methodologies were found in which it was proposed to increase the radius of curvature of horizontal curves, increase berm widths to a certain extent experienced in studies and analysis, establish an optimal lane width, have an adequate slope according to the area studied.It is expected that this work contributes with information with which the reader can obtain a reference of predictive methodologies, obtaining an analysis of those variables that affect the occurrence of traffic accidents related to the geometry of the road.
