Abstract

Abstract: Traffic accidents are one of the main causes of death and within the budgets of public institutions, road safety is not given much importance, considering it as an expense and not as an investment in public health. In this research, a star rating (SR) is presented using the iRAP method on the road safety of a two-lane mountain road according to its road attributes. For which a theoretical reference framework was established based on the collection of georeferenced images in sections of 100 m of track with the use of the "Timestamp" application for Android. Its initial qualification was obtained by determining homogeneous sections, allowing it to apply low-cost countermeasures and improve its SR. Based on the applied countermeasures, a referential budget was prepared of how much it would cost to apply them in the study section. With this study, the authorities in charge can know what works can be carried out to improve the road safety of a section of road and apply it to this section of road.
