Propuesta de mejoras de bajo coste en la seguridad vial de la vía Cuenca Molleturo (Azuay-Ecuador) utilizando el método iRAP

Abstract

Abstract: One of the main problems in public health globally and especially in Latin America are traffic accidents, which can be reduced by proposing improvements in road safety. The present research work proposes to establish low-cost measures to improve road safety in 20 kilometers of the Cuenca-Molleturo Road, directly supported the use of the ViDA program (created by the International Road Assessment Programme). whose methodology is applied in countries around the world to assess and improve road safety. This program establishes sections of 100 meters and qualifies them by means of a score by number of stars, with the best score being 5 and the lowest being 1. Data collection is carried out by recording a video touring the road section accompanied by density. in the field (road widths, sidewalk, etc.) in order to enter all the road attributes requested in the ViDA program and finally, with the proposed improvement measures, establish a reference budget for the road section.
