Abstract

Vehicle accidents are a problem that affects cities all over the world, and Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, is no exception. Every day, thousands of vehicles circulate through its streets and avenues, increasing the potential for traffic accidents that can have a significant impact on the lives of its inhabitants. These incidents not only cause material damage, but can also result in serious injuries and even loss of life. The city of Bogota, with its constant growth and complex road network, presents unique challenges in terms of managing and preventing vehicular accidents. Understanding the underlying causes of these crashes, identifying the areas of greatest risk, and developing effective strategies to prevent them becomes an essential task for traffic and road safety authorities. In this research, we will explore in detail the problem of vehicle crashes in the city of Bogotá. We will analyze the available statistics, identify the most frequent causes of traffic accidents, and perform a detailed analysis of the areas of the city with the highest incidence of accidents. Our objective will be to visit these specific points to evaluate the conditions that characterize these highrisk areas. During these visits, we will identify the potential risks to which both vehicles and pedestrians traveling along these road corridors may be exposed. This research not only seeks to provide an overview of the current situation of vehicular accidents in the city, but also to contribute to public awareness of the importance of road safety and the need for effective measures to prevent accidents and protect citizens.
