In recent years in Colombia the use of the motorcycle has been growing, it has become an indispensable vehicle for people of medium to low stratum as a method of transport and / or work since this type of mobility generates more economy, efficiency and time savings in the transfer from one place to another. The increase in motorcycles in Bogotá is accompanied by a high rate of traffic congestion and higher accidents; Based on the "HCM 2010 Road Capacity Manual" will analyze the level of service with the impact of motorcyclists and determine whether or not this mode of transport affects traffic in the capital city.
A comparison of the service level of 5 years ago with the service level of the year 2022 will be made. For this analysis, the intersections with the most traffic accidents in the city of Bogotá will be taken into account, together with the corresponding analysis under the HCM methodology.
In the traffic accidents reported and surveyed in recent years by the ANSV, in Colombia it is evident that, in each of them, motorcycles are the ones with the highest incidence. Under this evidence, it will be evaluated if these affect the level of service taking into account the intersections analyzed.
