Propuesta de diseño de un sistema de gestión de seguridad vial para reducir la accidentabilidad en el transporte de glp en cilindros entre Quito y Guayaquil, para empresas de distribución con base en Guayaquil

Abstract

Abstract: This degree project develops a proposed design for a Road Safety Management System aimed at reducing accident rates in the road transportation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in cylinders along the Quito Guayaquil corridor, for distribution companies based in the city of Guayaquil. The project focuses on developing an innovative preventive system designed to reduce road risks on Ecuadorian highways, thereby strengthening drivers safety culture. The study is conducted within the context of Ecuador s interprovincial transport sector, based on real operational conditions in which these activities take place. The methodology follows an innovation-oriented and descriptive approach, supported by documentary analysis, interviews, and system validation processes carried out with highly experienced drivers. The techniques and instruments employed included a literature review, interviews, analytical matrices, and learning validation with end users. The results indicate that the proposed system is technically and operationally feasible, confirming its relevance as an innovative solution for accident reduction and preventive road risk management in LPG transportation.
