Auditoría de seguridad vial con metodología iRap en la Av. de las Américas, tramo comprendido entre el redondel Simón Bolívar y el parque Miraflores en la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

Road traffic crashes are one of the leading causes of death due to poor road safety management. The iRAP methodology is used to assess road safety and has shown good results globally. The project audited the safety of Av. de las Americas between the Simon Bolivar traffic circle and Miraflores park using iRAP and ViDA software. Initial ratings were low: 3 and 2 stars for vehicles and motorcyclists, 2 and 1 for cyclists, and 2 for pedestrians. Countermeasures such as bike lanes, side barriers, traffic signals, and signage were implemented. After these improvements, the average ratings increased to 3 stars for vehicles, motorcyclists, and bicyclists, and 2 stars for pedestrians.
