Evaluación del tráfico vehicular y propuesta a solución al congestionamiento en la intersección entre la Avenida Paseo de los Cañaris y Avenida Viracochabamba

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to solve the problem of traffic congestion at the intersection of Paseo de los Cañaris Avenue and Viracochabamba Avenue in the city of Cuenca. These intersections experience high traffic that results in long lines of vehicles, causing inconvenience to users. Analyses were made of the types of vehicles circulating, traffic volumes, average annual daily traffic, and vehicle movements within the intersection. After identifying the problem, a solution was proposed through traffic simulations, allowing users to move through the intersections without congestion problems and with adequate levels of service.
