Proposal for severe injury reduction targets in Spain by territory and sector : the importance for rural areas of traffic accident

The Spanish road safety strategy for 2011-2020 proposes a 35% reduction in the number of severe injuries in 2011-2020. In this context, this article analyses provincial traffic accident rates in Spain by type of road and applies a nonlinear distribution methodology to dynamic severe injuries reducti...

description The Spanish road safety strategy for 2011-2020 proposes a 35% reduction in the number of severe injuries in 2011-2020. In this context, this article analyses provincial traffic accident rates in Spain by type of road and applies a nonlinear distribution methodology to dynamic severe injuries reduction targets for 2011-2020 for the purpose of setting accident rate targets in each of the Spanish provinces. Targets were weighted considering 2010 as the base year. This resulted in proposals for reducing the number of severe injuries in each province by type of road as a function of the starting situation of the indicators used in the study. In general, higher reduction must be made on highway and other type of roads (including city streets), and provinces with low population density (rural areas) such as Avila, Cuenca and Soria. The results found seek to provide policymakers with a more local view for achieving the overall Spanish traffic safety policy target, mainly for rural areas.

En la Estrategia de seguridad vial 2011-2020 para España se ha propuesto reducir el número de heridos graves en un 35% para el período 2011-2020. En este contexto, en este artículo se analiza la siniestralidad vial en España a nivel provincial y por tipo de carretera, y se aplica una metodología de distribución no lineal de valores objetivos dinámicos de reducción del número de heridos graves para el período 2011-2020, con el objeto de establecer objetivos provinciales de siniestralidad, para cada una de las provincias españolas. La ponderación de los valores objetivos se realizó considerando como año base a 2010. Como resultado se obtuvieron propuestas de reducción del número de heridos graves para cada provincia, y por tipo de carretera, en función de la situación inicial de los indicadores considerados en el estudio. En general, las mayores reducciones se deberían alcanzar en vías convencionales y otro tipo de vía (incluido vías urbanas), y en provincias con menor densidad de población (áreas rurales) como Ávila, Cuenca y Soria. Los resultados obtenidos buscan dar una visión más local a los tomadores de decisiones en relación con la consecución del objetivo de la política de seguridad vial en el conjunto de España, especialmente en áreas rurales.
