Propuesta para la implementación de un sistema de estacionamiento y señalización vertical y horizontal para la Dirección Distrital de Educación Chambo-Riobamba

Abstract

The proposal for implementing a parking system and vertical and horizontal signage for the Chambo-Riobamba District Directorate of Education was developed due to the need for more parking spaces in the institution due to a severe problem, which is the accelerated growth of the vehicle fleet. The research was developed to diagnose the current situation of the area and the signage to propose an improvement to the parking system with its respective signage. The research methodology used was the deductive, inductive, and analytical method; the techniques were observation, and through these, it was determined that they do not comply with the measures established according to NTE INEN 2248, which includes the characteristics for the accessibility of people to the physical environment such as parking lots, the NTE INEN 004-1 and NTE INEN 004-2 contain the measures of the signage and are not subject to the requirements of the standards. To improve the parking system, it is proposed to have 41 parking spaces, precisely 37 spaces for M1 type vehicles, three spaces for L1 type vehicles, and one space for disabled people, complying with all the respective measurements, as well as nine vertical signs and 17 horizontal signs distributed technically within the parking lot. It is concluded that the Chambo-Riobamba District Directorate of Education attracts many vehicles, either for external users or for people who work and commute to the institution daily. Therefore, an improvement to the parking system is proposed, orienting ourselves so that people who use the parking lot daily can have available and suitable spaces to park their vehicles and good signage to move around safely.
