Combustión, medición de ruidos y sistemas de iluminación, aplicado a buses de transporte de pasajeros en base a normas y reglamentos técnicos ecuatorianos vigentes.

Abstract

The project about Procedure manual elaboration for combustion gases quality evaluation, noise measurement and lighting systems applied to buses of passengers transportation based on current Ecuadorian norms and technical regulation, it has as objective to demonstrate in an organized way the INEN (InstitutoEcuatoriano de Normalizacion) norm processes and the international ones in order to carry out the procedure of each manual. Information was gathered, organized and synthetized so that it can be comprehensive and clear in order to obtain the procedure manuals for the technical and administrative staff of SERCOMEC. Methodological guides were researched in order to structure the different procedure manuals; current rules and regulations at national level by INEN and Chilean and Argentinean norms were also researched because of the inexistence of Ecuadorians regulations, this permitted to get important standards of measurement, analysis and results of each manual. Manual of procedures to measure the composition and opacity of the gases of combustion that emit the buses of passengers transportation was gotten by applying the norm NTE INEN 2202:2000, the procedures manual to measure and analyze the noise in and out of the buses according to D.S N° 129/02 decree (Noise Emission Norm for Collective Locomotive buses Urban and Rural-Chilean Norm) and the procedures manual to measure intensity, direction and projection of lights in the buses according to 779-95 decree (Statutory Decree of Traffic and Road Safety law Buenos Aires, November 1995- Argentinean Norm). Every paper is according to the current safety and health regulation at national level to prevent and mitigate the occupational hazards which are generated at the moment of carrying out the processes that each manual of procedure has. It is recommended that this present paper can be considered as a written material because of the lack of information referring to lightning and noise of the buses of transportation of passengers which was an obstacle to carry out the manuals mentioned above.
