description This research shows the results of applying the technique of using Kernel density variables to develop accident density maps on motorcycles.  Though Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the city of Tunja, Boyacá, which is listed as an intermediate city according to DANE, in the period corresponding to 2016-2018. In Boyacá, specifically in its capital, Tunja. It is important to implement new measures that are the result of research and so that they can adapt to the geographical, economic, and social characteristics of the studied area in order to mitigate the situation that occurs due to various causes attributed to drivers, mainly motorcyclists, who involve pedestrians and different road users. This analysis contemplates the different road corridors with accident rate in the city of Tunja. It is important to emphasize that the research was carried out under a qualitative and quantitative approach; the information was extracted from databases obtaining the parameters that determine the Kernel density variables through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The points of view of the actors involved in this case the motorcyclists were evaluated and analyzed. Finally, this research concludes the spatial and temporal analysis to identify the sections of critical incidence in the city, which can be corrected through architectural, engineering and urban interventions to improve, prevent and avoid accidents in the city.

En el trabajo se presentan los resultados al aplicar la técnica del uso de variables de densidades de Kernel para elaborar mapas de densidades de accidentes en motocicletas, empleando Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG), en la ciudad de Tunja-Boyacá, la cual está catalogada como una ciudad intermedia según clasificación del DANE, en el periodo correspondiente a 2016-2018. En Boyacá, específicamente en su capital, Tunja, es importante implementar nuevas medidas que sean resultado de investigaciones y se acoplen a las características geográficas, económicas y sociales de la zona en estudio, para así mitigar la situación que se presenta por diversas causas atribuidas a los conductores, principalmente, a los motociclistas, quienes involucran a peatones y a otros usuarios de las vías. Este análisis contempla los corredores viales de Tunja en donde se presenta siniestralidad. Cabe señalar que la investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cualitativo y cuantitativo; la información se extrajo de bases de datos, obteniendo los parámetros que determinan las variables de densidad de Kernel mediante los SIG; se evaluaron y analizaron los puntos de vista de los actores involucrados, los motociclistas. Finalmente, se concluye el análisis espacial y temporal para identificar los tramos de incidencia crítica en la ciudad, los cuales pueden ser subsanados a partir de intervenciones arquitectónicas, ingenieriles y urbanísticas para mejorar, prevenir y evitar la siniestralidad en la ciudad.
