Propuesta de intervención en el sector del Colegio Técnico, avenida Santiago de las Montañas y Juan de Salinas, para mejorar la circulación

Abstract

Abstract: The vehicular congestion caused by the growth of the automotive fleet is evidenced mainly in urban intersections at the level. To decongest these sites, geometric reforms are proposed that affect the capacity and service level of the intersection. (Hernández, Vidaña, & Rodríguez, 2015). The order of preference is pedestrians and cyclists; so the planners give facilities to these for a comfortable and safe circulation through an intersection. This degree work analyzes the vehicular flow of the intersection of the Santiago de las Montaña, Zoilo Rodríguez and Daniel Álvarez Burneo avenues in the city of Loja to improve circulation through the proposal of intervention proposals; For this, it was necessary to carry out vehicle counts with which the data required for the simulation of the current situation and the different decongestion proposals in the Aimsun simulator was obtained. After the analysis, a channeling of the flows is proposed to avoid vehicular conflicts and increase the area for pedestrians and cyclists, improving the current service level E to level C.
