Influência da exposição quantitativa e qualitativa da viagem na segurança viária dos ciclistas em Fortaleza: um estudo sobre a percepção do usuário

Abstract

There is a difficulty in objectively including in the modeling of road safety performance, aspects related to the quantitative exposure of the cyclist and qualitative exposure of the individual perception about the quality of the cyclist's trip. This study aims to assess the influence of quantitative exposure and the quality of travel on traffic accidents from the perception of cyclists. Data from the survey conducted by the Plano Diretor Cicloviário Integrado (PDCI) of Fortaleza - CE in (2015) are used. Structural equation models were used to analyze the associations between twelve indicators, three latent reflective variables and the number of accidents reported by cyclists. The results indicated that the low quality of the trip has the greatest influence on the increase in reported traffic accidents, followed by the quantitative exposure of the cyclist. Another result is that the characteristics of the cyclist are correlated with exposure.
