Propuesta técnica para la reducción de accidentes de tránsito aplicando el método Haddon para la ciudad de Riobamba, provincia de Chimborazo – caso circuito La Estación

Abstract

The application of the HADDON model for the reduction of traffic accidents in Riobamba city, Chimborazo province- case circuit of “La Estación”, aims to assess the components: human being, vehicle and the environment, within the system to reduce the index of accidents’ risks. The research was conducted through the application of surveys that serve as a pillar to identify the criteria that experts in the field considered relevant in the area of traffic accidents, as well as the entities involved. The results show that drivers are unaware of any regulations current law, pedestrians consider that the paths through which they transit are not safe, most traffic accidents are generated by crossing places that are not allowed. Most accidents have caused injuries, answering the cell phone when driving is a reckless act committed by drivers. Once the matrix was analyzed, a general system was made to reduce accidents in “La Estación” circuit, analyzing the propagation of information, speed limits, technical status of the vehicle, road signs and access to medical attention. It is recommended to keep traffic accident information systems available on the website of the National Transit Agency for similar or complementary studies.
