Bogota, the capital of Colombia, is one of the most populous cities in the country with about 7,5 million inhabitants (DANE, 2018) with an extension of 164 ha, of which 75% are of rural land, administratively divided into 20 localities (Municipality of Bogotá, 2004) with approximately 1.400 km per lane for 2013 that according to statistics from the IDU Urban Development Institute 50% is in poor condition, was the first Colombian city to have a transit bus system fast (in English: Fast Transit Bus, BRT), and at this time it has an Integrated SIPT Transportation System that brings together all means of passenger transport. According to the report of the Bogotá program as we are going (2018), about 11,700 fatalities have been registered in traffic accidents since 2000, and from 2005 to 2017 it is possible to see a stability in the number of annual deaths due to accidents roads, which is located in an average of between 500 and 570 fatalities per year, in 2018 this indicator dropped to 514 deaths, one of the lowest annual figures of the century. This is why it is necessary for all professionals to focus research on improving the mobility of the city and with it reducing fatalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
