Plan de mejoramiento para la seguridad vial con medidas de bajo costo en el tramo los Encuentros - El Pangui (Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador), empleando la metodología iRAP

Abstract

Abstract: Road accidents generate a great socioeconomic impact, with some of the Causes include poor road conditions, environmental factors and traffic. Ecuador has a mortality rate between 20.0 - 24.9 per 100,000 inhabitants. To face this problematic, the iRAP methodology has been implemented that evaluates the safety of sections vials. Therefore, the objective of this research is to propose a plan for improvement in road safety with low-cost measures in the Los Encuentros section El Pangui (Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador) using the iRAP methodology. This methodology allows you to evaluate roads using a star rating from 1 to 5, with 1 star being the riskiest scenario and 5 stars the safest. 11 of the 94 were implemented countermeasures established by IRAP, achieving the 3-star objective for vehicle occupants, pedestrians, cyclists and 2-3 stars for motorcycles. The measurements of improvement applied are considered low cost with a reference budget of $2,018,452.71 including VAT, having a cost per kilometer of $93,145.03.
