El International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) permite evaluar la seguridad vial que ofrecen tramos de carreteras. El modelo busca reducir el número de siniestros de tránsito y la gravedad de los mismos, ofreciendo información valiosa para quienes investigan o toman decisiones en las vías. En Ecuador, a pesar de tener un alto número de siniestros viales, solo se suelen hacer inspecciones de seguridad vial esporádicas, que muy pocas veces son aplicadas por falta de conocimiento técnico. Este artículo tiene como objetivo explorar el uso del iRAP mediante su aplicación en una vía de dos carriles en dos carreteras en Ecuador. Para ello, se analizó a profundidad el modelo iRAP en dos tramos de carreteras de dos carriles, analizando un total de 25 km. En esos tramos se recolectó información principalmente con el equipo Video VBOX Lite. Los resultados muestran que, a pesar de tener un alto número de variables, es posible aplicar el iRAP a carreteras de dos carriles. También se muestra que el modelo tiene dos variables que no están claramente descritas en los documentos del iRAP y se encontraron algunos errores menores en el ejemplo disponible en la web. A pesar de esto, se pudo determinar el puntaje de calificación por estrellas (SRS) y calificación por estrellas (SR). La mayoría de los tramos tuvieron una estrella y con la aplicación de las contramedidas seleccionadas se alcanzó hasta dos estrellas. Este estudio se puede reproducir fácilmente a otras carreteras del país o en otros países.
The International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) makes it possible to assess road safety in the road sections. The model seeks to reduce the traffic accidents and their severity, offering valuable information for researchers or politicians that decided on road development. In Ecuador, despite having a high number of road accidents, only sporadic road safety inspections are usually carried out. These inspections are rarely applied due to a lack of technical knowledge. This article aims to explore the use of iRAP in the Ecuadorian context through its application on a two-lane road in two roads in Ecuador. For this, the iRAP model was analyzed in-depth in two sections of two-lane roads, using a total of 25 km. In these sections, data was collected mainly with the Video VBOX Lite equipment. The results show that despite having a high number of variables, it is possible to apply iRAP to two-lane roads. Also, it shows the model has two variables that are not clearly described in the iRAP documents. So, some minor errors were found in the example available on the web. Despite this, the Star Rating Scores (SRS) and Star Rating (SR) could be determined. Most of the sections had 1 star, and with the application of the selected countermeasures, up to two stars were achieved. This study can be easily reproduced on other roads in the country or other countries.
