Diagnóstico de la percepción de la seguridad vial en el proyecto curricular Ingeniería Topográfica de la Universidad Distrital

Abstract

The accident rate has become a problem for public, national and international entities, which based on this have sought to provide solutions to counter this problem since it has become a public health issue, this is because the Road accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the world. For this reason, in Colombia, the implementation of strategic road safety plans has been proposed through regulations, where it seeks to educate road actors, to prevent and reduce the mortality and injury rate due to these road accidents. For this reason, it is necessary that each company dedicated to the provision of land transport service and organizations dedicated to activities other than transport, must have a PESV (Strategic Road Safety Plan), for this reason it is sought to implement this plan, with in order to safeguard the safety of all road actors involved in daily transit through the different roads of the country. Taking into account the context of the university in this subject, in this study a diagnosis of perception in road safety is carried out, in order to know the way in which students of the topographic ING career move, with factors such as roads most traveled and means of transport used through surveys, leaving as a result useful geospatial information not only for this research, but for future PESV implementations and subsequent studies; This study reveals the lack of commitment of the faculty with these issues, from the lack of PESV, as well as prevention and action plans to deal with this problem.
