Application of iRAP methodology and ViDA-iRAP software on a section of highway in Mexico

Abstract

Los traumatismos causados por los accidentes de tránsito en el mundo se han convertido en las últimas décadas en un problema creciente de salud pública a nivel mundial que demanda una atención inmediata. El programa iRAP (International Road Assessment Programme) plantea la posibilidad de realizar una evaluación de la seguridad que tienen los usuarios dentro de las redes viales con el objetivo de establecer medidas que reduzcan el gran número de muertos y heridos graves que actualmente se están presentando en los países en vías de desarrollo. En el presente trabajo se plasma la aplicación de algunos de los protocolos que conforman la metodología del programa iRAP, haciendo uso de la herramienta informática de reciente desarrollo ViDA-iRAP, tomando como objeto de estudio, un tramo de la red troncal de carreteras de México, correspondiente a un camino de altas especificaciones.

Injuries caused by traffic accidents in the world have become in recent decades a growing public health problem worldwide that demand immediate attention. The iRAP methodology (International Road Assessment Programme) presents the possibility of a safety assessment that the users have within the road networks with the goal to establish measures to reduce the large number of deaths and serious injuries that currently occurring in the developing countries. This paper shows the application of the program iRAP and the newly developed software tool ViDA-iRAP, to define “countermeasures” of road safety to be implemented on a path of high specifications of the main road network in Mexico, considering for the analysis and results sections of 100 m in length.
