Rediseño y modelación de rutas conflictivas en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: A redesign and modeling of conflicting routes seeks to improve the urban mobility of a city, in this case the areas under study are the roundabout located in the El Dorado sector and the intersections of the Época sector. In this study, problems such as lack of signage, inadequate infrastructure and congestion were identified. To carry out an appropriate study, data were collected and vehicle gauge techniques were used, with the aim of modeling the current condition and simulating redesign scenarios using the Aimsun tool in conjunction with Autocad. The results indicated that the proposed solutions, such as geometric redesign and vehicle flow adjustments, help improve traffic speed, reduce delay times and improve road efficiency. The research highlights the importance of using existing standards such as NEVI-12 and AASHTO to provide safe and functional intersections, thus also reducing the likelihood of accidents. For the correct study, the application of theoretical and practical approaches was carried out with the objective of providing an efficient model for urban traffic.
