Pedro Menéndez Gilbert is a main road with a designed capacity of 9000 vehicles/h, currently presenting traffic congestion problems, which affects its users. In order to propose possible solutions to the mobility problem, the research carried out aimed to analyze alternatives that would improve the level of service. The data collection method consisted of observation, with fieldwork at the entrance and exit intersections of a 900-m-long section. Manual counts and vehicle categorization were carried out for one week, as well as counting the distribution times of the traffic lights. The intersections were characterized in their geometry, traffic flows and traffic light system. Based on a previous study, a 5-year increase from 135,170 vehicles to 190,424 vehicles was projected. It was found that the main causes of congestion are the distribution of the alternating times of the signal cycle, and the blockage that occurs by the Metrovía feeder and collector buses. It is concluded that the main solution is the updating and proper adjustment of the traffic light system, as well as the opening of a pre-existing exit road, prior to the intersection, and control of the blockage produced by the Metrovía units En Guayaquil-Ecuador, la Av. Pedro Menéndez Gilbert es una vía principal diseñada para una capacidad de 9000 veh/h presentando en la actualidad problemas de congestionamiento vial, lo cual afecta a sus usuarios. Con el fin de proponer posibles soluciones a la problemática de movilidad, la investigación realizada tuvo como objetivo analizar alternativas que permitan mejorar el nivel de servicio. El método de toma de datos consistió en la observación, con un trabajo de campo en las intersecciones de entrada y salida de un tramo de 900 m de longitud. Se realizaron conteos manuales y categorización de vehículos durante una semana, así como conteo de tiempos de reparto de los semáforos. Se caracterizaron las intersecciones en su geometría, flujos de tráfico y sistema de semáforos. Sobre la base de un estudio previo se proyectó un incremento a 5 años de 135170 a 190424 vehículos. Se comprobó que las causas principales del congestionamiento son la distribución de los tiempos de reparto del ciclo semafórico, y el atascamiento que se produce por los buses alimentadores y colectores de la Metrovía. Se concluye que la solución principal es la actualización y ajuste adecuado del sistema semafórico, así como la apertura de una vía de salida prexistente, anterior a la intersección, y control del atascamiento producido por las unidades de la Metrovía Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado - Decanato de Ingeniería Civil 2020-07-31 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo científico de investigación original application/pdf https://revistas.uclave.org/index.php/gt/article/view/2754 10.13140/RG.2.2.21905.04960 Gaceta Técnica; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2020): July-December; 4-23 Gaceta Técnica; Vol. 21 Núm. 2 (2020): Julio-Diciembre; 4-23 Gaceta Técnica; v. 21 n. 2 (2020): July-December; 4-23 2477-9539 spa https://revistas.uclave.org/index.php/gt/article/view/2754/1715 https://revistas.uclave.org/index.php/gt/article/view/2754/1716 https://revistas.uclave.org/index.php/gt/article/view/2754/1717 |
