Rediseño geométrico de la vía Quito Loma de la Comunidad de San Francisco de Oyacoto, cantón Quito, provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

San Francisco de Oyacoto’s road is a 1.8 km long road that connects the community of San Francisco de Oyacoto with the surrounding communities. However, the road is currently in poor condition, making it difficult for vehicles and pedestrians to pass. Thus, this work proposes the geometric redesign of the San Francisco de Oyacoto’s road in order to improve the design and current conditions of the road that will serve to improve the quality of life and the economy of the population. The present project begins with the topological study of the current road, which provided us with the coordinates of the points necessary to carry out the road layout. To continue with the analysis of the geometry of the road and the geometric redesign of the same, taking into account all the guidelines established by the theory, taking care of the minimum radii of the curves and all the necessary considerations for the design of the same so that the project allows us to guarantee the comfort and safety of the user. Subsequently, a study of the current and future traffic was carried out, as well as the design of the pavement to be placed on the road and the respective signaling that will be necessary to place on it, so that it will be safe for users and pedestrians. Finally, the economic and financial evaluation of the project is carried out, where aspects such as: the added value of the project sector and the income and expenses generated by the project are analyzed, in addition to the calculation of the financial indicators: NPV and IRR that will help to determine the feasibility of the project.
