In 2014, Colombia registered around 5 million motorcycles circulating on the roads, which due to traffic accidents resulted in 2,754 deaths and 21,171 injuries. Given these alarming figures, this research aims to determine a model of the frequency of accidents in motorcycles based on the geometric, operational, environment and speed characteristics. The calibration of the model was carried out with data from 908 records of accidents in which at least one motorcycle was involved that occurred between the years 2007 to 2014 on the urban roads of Ocaña (Norte de Santander) using Poisson (RP) and Binomial regressions Negative (BN). Preliminary analyzes found that the length of the sections, road widths, number of intersections, the direction of movement, number of traffic light intersections, motorcycle vehicle flows and speed, have a significant influence on the occurrence of traffic accidents where they are located. involved motorcycles.
