Propuesta de mejoramiento de la movilidad vehicular para reducir la saturación en la intersección de las calles Juan Bautista Aguirre (vía a los Chillos) y S7f en la parroquia Puengasí, cantón Quito, provincia Pichincha

Abstract

The project below has been carried out with the aim of proposing an alternative for the improvement of vehicular mobility on Juan Bautista Aguirre Road, in the place known as Las Palmeras, this road connects the Valle de los Chillos and Quito city. The present road improvement project has been carried out based on the data obtained in the field with the vehicle count method, 5 manual counting stations were located to determine what are the traffic behavior 15 minutes period. With these data, it was possible to determine: The Hourly Volume of Maximum Demand, the volume of vehicular traffic or TPDA that is projected on the road for the lifetime of the proposal, capacity, saturation flow and level of service at the intersection. Afterwards, the traffic light cycle was recorded and with these data, the vehicle simulation was carried out in the SYNCHRO 8 software to obtain an optimization of the traffic light cycle to reduce the delay time and the level of service. The results obtained in terms of changing the configuration of the traffic lights and the intersection at level, will meet the requirements of an optimal and continuous service. Finally, the budget to made these interventions was determined, which covers maintenance issues, benefits and costs.
