The objective of this investigation consisted of identifying accide nt-prone road sections in the Municipality of Ocaña (Colombia) using the Bayesian Method (BM); the modeling approach developed involved the creation of a database of accidents that occurred between t he years 2007 (January) and 2013 (August) and the application of the met hodology on 15 sections of urban road. The final analyses show that the BM is an original and fast tool that is easily implemented, it provides results in which 4 accident-prone or dangerous road se ctions were identified and ranked them in order of danger, establishing a d anger ranking that provides a prioritization for investments an d the implementation of preventive and/or corrective policies that wi ll maximize benefits associated with road safety. 2014 artículo científico 0012-7353 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=49632363027 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=496 Dyna application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Dyna (Colombia) Num.187 Vol.81
