Formación de conductores de transporte público, para mejorar la percepción del riesgo, mediante recorridos reales en tramos de carreteras de montaña

Abstract

Abstract:The perception of risk is a determining variable in the identification and reaction of the driver to the presence of risk on a road while driving, in addition, the way in which he perceives risk in traffic scenarios represents a great influence on the development of those scenarios and, therefore, it is a factor to consider within road training. Consequently, this research aimed to improve the perception of risk in public transport drivers through real routes on mountainous routes, using feedback as a training technique. To do this, through the iRAP methodology, scenarios were rated that would be compared with the risk perception of each driver. The drivers were initially evaluated through surveys, then the training process was applied and finally the results were evaluated through real routes. The results show an overestimation of the security level. The action is justified because the drivers, when evaluating scenarios, look at the state of the asphalt layer and the geometric condition of the road (straight or curve), ignoring the instigating elements on the side of the road.
