Evaluación de los factores influyentes en la accidentalidad de los biciusuarios y peatones en puntos críticos de la ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

The significant increase in the use of bicycles in the city of Bogotá, as a mode of daily transportation, both for short and long distances, has generated great benefits in terms of mobility in the city; however, this growth has also caused an increase in accidents with deaths and injuries of this type of users. Therefore, the objective of this research is to evaluate the variables that influence the occurrence of accidents with deaths and injuries in four critical stretches of the city of Bogotá, involving pedestrians and/or cyclists. To achieve this objective, traditional Negative Binomial and Zero Inflated frequency models were implemented, where it was identified that the absence of adequate sidewalks increases the probability of occurrence of accidents, as well as the absence of central separators, the lack of defined crosswalks and the absence of stops for public transportation, among others.
