Propuesta de mejoramiento de bajo costo de la seguridad vial en el tramo de la vía Cuenca Loja abscisas 40+000 y 60+000, aplicando la metodología iRAP

Abstract

Abstract: The Cuenca Loja road that includes the abscissa 0+040 to the abscissa 0+060 presents great relevance because the Jarata sector is considered one of the main road axes that They connect the province of Azuay with the province of Loja. The International Road Assessment Program (iRAP) is a charity that proposes a methodology whose objective is to save lives by modifying high-risk roads; used a star rating, where 1 star represents very dangerous roads while that 5 star safe roads. The objective of this work is to propose a plan for improvement of road safety with low-cost measures applying the iRAP methodology. A quantitative analysis will be applied using the ViDA software to finally propose a improvement plan through the application of countermeasures that optimize the security of the tracks. After the analysis, the section under study is considered dangerous because the 28.86% correspond to very closed curves, 6.91% to closed curves, 2.85% corresponds to light and 2.03% to moderate curves, mostly with a rating of 1 star.
