In recent years, changes have occurred in consumption, ownership, and social relations, giving rise to new economic models in which technology enables new ways of connecting, creating, and sharing value. The nature of transport has transformed with the emergence of mobile applications, such as Uber and Cabify, which offer an alternative to the services traditionally provided by the taxi and chauffeur-driven hire vehicle (CDV) sectors. These services have developed within a context of market regulation of the taxi and CDV which are subject to considerable unjustified restrictions for entering and operating in the market, including the of licenses, the limited geographical scope of the license and, in the case of taxis, the regulation of prices as inflexible public rates. Bearing in mind the latest legislative changes affecting mostly the provision of the services of these platforms, this study analyzes whether the number of traffic accident victims has fallen since the introduction of these services in the city of Madrid using a Random Effects Negative Binominal model. The results show that the deployment of these platforms is associated with a reduction of 25% in the number of serious injuries and deaths.
近年来，消费、所有权和社会关系发生了变化，产生了新的经济模式，技术使连接、创造和共享价值的新方式成为可能。随着移动应用程序（如 Uber 和 Cabify）的出现，交通的性质发生了变化，这些应用程序提供了传统出租车和礼宾车（CDV）服务的替代方式。这些服务是在出租车和 CDV 市场监管的背景下发展起来的，它们面临着进入和运营市场的大量不合理限制，包括许可证的限制、许可证的地理范围有限，以及在出租车的情况下，价格作为僵化的公共费率的监管。考虑到最近影响这些平台服务提供的立法变化，本研究使用随机效应负二项式模型分析了自马德里推出这些服务以来，交通事故受害者人数是否有所下降。结果表明，这些平台的部署与严重伤害和死亡人数减少 25%有关。
