Evaluación de tráfico para mejorar la movilidad de los accesos a la cuidad de Riobamba (Av. Lizarzaburu y Av. Pedro Vicente Maldonado)

Abstract

The present work of Curricular Integration called "Evaluation of Traffic to improve mobility in the accesses to the city of Riobamba (Lizarzaburu Avenue and Pedro Vicente Maldonado Avenue)”, had the objective of carrying out an evaluation of vehicular traffic in the accesses to the city to propose strategies that contribute to the improvement of mobility. For this purpose, field research was used through: the execution of vehicle counts, and an observation sheet for the geometric and traffic light survey of the intersection, in addition to working with the sectorized study population, the research used was quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive field research. It was determined that the signage is in a state of deterioration, that is to say, there is no maintenance by the authorities. It should be emphasized that since these are avenues that are entrances to the city there should be signage in good condition, and with the vehicle count that was carried out it was possible to detect that there is traffic, so it is required that the authorities take this problem into account. The study contemplates the redesign of the traffic light cycles, as well as the implementation of intelligent traffic lights with cameras. It can be concluded that an investment of $10,785 is needed to implement intelligent traffic lights using cameras. The redesign of the traffic light cycles and the implementation of intelligent traffic lights using cameras will help improve service levels at each of the access points analyzed. It is recommended that the relevant agencies use this document as a repository of information and data that can be used as a support and guide to provide solutions to the problems mentioned above.
