Análisis de tráfico y propuesta de mejoramiento de la movilidad vehicular en la intersección av. Cardenal de la Torre y av. Ajaví del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito

Abstract

In the project carried out, the data of the topographic survey is presented, which was determined based on the equipment used as a total station, with which the geometric elements were verified, including the signage found at the intersection of the study, based on the information obtained. We proceeded with the vehicle count carried out manually to know the current Average Annual Daily Traffic (TPDA), for which the volume that affects the intersection was found and in the same way a 20-year projection was calculated. From the count carried out, it was determined which day, at what time and which station is the most critical during peak hours, as well as the degree of saturation, delays, queues produced by traffic and the level of service handled in the present. In the same way, a vehicle was used to carry out the study of speeds and travel times in the traffic light cycles between the intersection in the directions North to South and vice versa, in the same way from West to East and vice versa, with the information proceeded to enter the data in the SYNCHRO 8 software to develop a current and future vehicle simulation as presented in the proposed solutions. With the results of the study carried out, two alternative solutions were proposed for the vehicular congestion problem, considering the cost-benefit analysis so that the selected alternative is feasible for implementation. The environmental impacts produced by the selected alternative were considered, since the necessary mitigation measures were taken into account to implement in the project.
