HECHOS

  1. Tracción Reducida: La nieve, el hielo y la aguanieve disminuyen el agarre de los neumáticos, aumentando el riesgo de derrapes y accidentes.
  2. Disminución de la Visibilidad: Las fuertes nevadas y la niebla pueden oscurecer la carretera, a los peatones y a otros vehículos, haciendo que la navegación sea peligrosa.
  3. Distancias de Frenado Prolongadas: Las carreteras resbaladizas requieren distancias de frenado más largas, desafiando a los conductores a mantener intervalos de seguimiento seguros.
  4. Fallos Mecánicos: Las bajas temperaturas pueden afectar a los componentes del autobús, como las baterías y los sistemas de frenado, pudiendo provocar averías.
  5. Obstrucciones en la Ruta: La nieve y el hielo acumulados pueden bloquear las carreteras o crear obstáculos, haciendo necesarios desvíos y aumentando el tiempo de viaje.
  6. Preocupación por la Seguridad de los Pasajeros: Las condiciones heladas aumentan el riesgo de resbalones y caídas para los estudiantes que suben o bajan del autobús.

ESTADÍSTICAS

  • Aproximadamente el 24% de los accidentes de vehículos relacionados con el clima ocurren sobre pavimento nevado, resbaladizo o helado, y el 15% suceden durante nevadas o aguanieve.
  • Entre 2013 y 2022, se produjeron 1.082 muertes y aproximadamente 132.000 lesiones como resultado de accidentes relacionados con autobuses escolares. Aunque no todos se deben a las condiciones invernales, el tiempo adverso contribuye significativamente a estos incidentes.
  • Aproximadamente el 25% de las colisiones de vehículos se atribuyen a condiciones meteorológicas adversas, incluidas la nieve y el hielo.
  • En 2021, se produjeron 104 muertes relacionadas con incidentes de autobuses escolares, y las condiciones invernales contribuyeron a una parte de estos accidentes.
  • Las condiciones meteorológicas adversas, como las tormentas de nieve y las carreteras heladas, provocan con frecuencia retrasos o cancelaciones de autobuses escolares. Por ejemplo, en Thunder Bay, Ontario, el transporte puede cancelarse si las temperaturas descienden a -34 °C o más, según informa Environment Canada.
