Determinación de conductas inseguras en conductores de bus y su relación con accidentes de tránsito. Estudio de caso de una empresa de transporte público en Colombia

摘要

A cross-sectional observational study with descriptive and analytical approach that aims at determining unsafe behavior of bus drivers from a company of public transportation and its relation to traffic accidents was conducted in a probability sample of 127 drivers. The results showed that drivers performed an average of 86.86 unsafe driving behaviors for every two hours of travel time; the most frequent behavior was speeding, while not keeping a safe distance was the main cause of the company's bus accidents. The correlation between unsafe behavior and causes of accidents in the company was positive but non-significant. The information gathered will allow to modify behaviors from unsafe to safe, as a future strategy for the improvement of road safety.
