Propuesta de mejora para la seguridad vial de la carretera E 28, tramo Nanegalito Los Bancos entre la abscisa 0+000 a la 20+000, aplicando la metodología International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP)

Abstract

Abstract: The high accident rate on Ecuador's roads generates significant costs both in terms of human losses and material damage. Therefore, the present research analyzes the current state of a section of the E28 highway, which extends from the town of Nanegalito until kilometer 20 in the direction of Los Bancos, between the provinces of Pichincha and Esmeraldas. For this, the methodology of the Program is used International Road Assessment Assessment (iRAP), which allows improve the safety level of a road by implementing safety countermeasures low cost. The evaluation of the safety level of the road was carried out through the iRAP procedure using VIDA software. With this program you obtain a star rating for road condition, using a range from five stars, for the highest level of security, to one star, for the lowest. The section track evaluated initially obtained between one and two stars. However, after the implementation of the countermeasures, it was possible to raise the rating to a range of three stars.
