Evaluación del tráfico vehicular para dar solución al congestionamiento en la intersección Gómez de la Cerna y García Lorca de la cuidad de Ambato provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The objective of this project is to evaluate vehicular traffic at the intersection of Gómez de la Cerna and García Lorca by means of a manual vehicle count for twelve hours over a period of seven days. The analysis was carried out in four stations identified at the intersection and in each of them the vehicle capacity was carried out taking into account the directions of movement. Once the data was collected, it was obtained: the current Annual Average Daily Traffic, vehicle flows and their distribution at the intersection, reflecting the behavior of the Intersection under study, this information allows establishing peak hours and vehicle demand. The future TPDA, the characteristics of vehicular traffic and the traffic capacity at the intersection were determined to obtain the level of service. Traffic behavior starts from the analysis of vehicular flow, which will be a function of flow, density and speed. Finally, the vehicle flow models are presented as a Linear Model according to B.D. Greenshields and Nonlinear Models such as Logarithmic and Exponential; they are going to present what the traffic behavior is like, and therefore obtain the appropriate solution. Thematic Maps represent the degree of noise pollution registered in the area surrounding the intersection under study.
