Formación en percepción del riesgo a conductores de transporte público en carreteras rurales de dos carriles mediante la utilización de fotografías

Abstract

Abstract: Globally, millions of people die each year in traffic accidents. Among the main causes are the geometric conditions of the roads, especially in mountainous areas, as well as the experience and reaction capacity of a driver. This creates the need to determine the risk perception capacity of professional public transport drivers. To determine the risk perception of public transport drivers, the iRAP methodology was used, which determined the existing road safety in a study section. These results were compared with the drivers' risk perception through a survey. This was followed by feedback that helped drivers identify risk conditions on the roads, improving their driving behavior. The results of the tests performed and the statistical analysis indicated an increase in recognition capacity and an improvement in the behavior of professional public transport drivers with more than five years of experience, as they had a much broader range of risk perception.
