Propuesta de Intervención en el sector del Redondel Dr. Máximo Agustín Rodríguez de la ciudad de Loja, para mejorar la circulación

Abstract

Abstract: Vehicle congestion is a problem that has been worsening in much of the world, which represents a danger in everyday life. However, there are few studies that analyze and propose the solution of the existing problem in vehicular traffic in places such as roundabouts and avenues. Given this consideration, the project aimed to analyze the vehicular flow that is presented in the Dr. Maximo Agustín Rodríguez Roundabout in the city of Loja, to improve circulation by proposing intervention proposals, applying road geometric designs or technical interactions in relationship with the urban and landscape development of the sector. For this, data on vehicle flow was collected by recording with a video camera and later the manual count, then the current vehicle traffic simulation was carried out using the Aimsun modeling software, followed by five alternatives for decongestion in the traffic circle, which have been modeled to determine the option that provides greater vehicular fluidity.
