Mejoras de Seguridad Vial de la Carretera que conecta el Cantón Azogues y el Cantón Suscal entre la abscisa 0+000 a la abscisa 19+000, aplicando la metodología IRAP.

Abstract

Abstract: Worldwide, traffic accidents cause 1.35 deaths and nearly 50 million injured people. In Ecuador, road infrastructure in mountainous areas is is conditioned by its topography, which generates risk conditions for the road users. The main objective of this work is to evaluate and propose actions to improvement in road safety, through the iRAP methodology in the section of the Azogues road Suscal, located in the province of Azogues in the south of Ecuador. To develop the work recorded a video using the Timestamp Camera Free application, then determined the layout and geometry of the track, the TPDA and the operating speed. With this information, the road safety evaluation was carried out, based on the iRAP methodology, in which is considered the geometric characteristics of the road and the risk they represent for the four users: driver and occupant of the vehicle, motorcyclist, cyclist and pedestrian. The section The track was analyzed in subsections of 100 meters each, using the ViDA software. The results obtained were on average 3 stars for vehicle users and their companion, 2 stars for motorcycle users and 2 stars for riders. pedestrian users, which is why it is considered a high-risk route for pedestrians and motorcyclists.
