Percepción de riesgo en conductores experimentados en carreteras de montaña de dos carriles aplicando la metodología iRAP

Abstract

Abstract: The underdeveloped countries, according to their culture and their high complexity in their mountain roads, have caused the high mortality rate from this cause. In Ecuador, there are few researches to evaluate the perception of risk in experienced drivers.Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the perception of risk in experienced drivers, through virtual tours and applying the iRAP methodology. For that reason, 12 scenarios located on the rote of La Figuera, Spain were evaluated. This route was projected to 30 experienced drivers, who traveled in the last 6 months on the wagons in the south of the country. The evaluations were made through an objective rating related to the level of risk and a subjective rating based on the risk characteristic. The results reflect that the risk is not being perceived by experienced drivers, and that the characteristic considered for the risk evaluation is the road marking. The data gathered will serve to understand what the experienced driver judges when determining the level of risk on the road.
