Diseño de rotonda en la intersección de las vías Ferroviaria y de ingreso posterior de la Universidad Técnica de Machala.

Abstract

In the present project, a roundabout-type road intersection was opened between the railway line and the rear entrance road of the Technical University of Machala, which is located in the city of Machala, Banana capital of the world, province of El Oro. For the design Photogrammetry has been used to collect topographic information to proceed with the entry of the information collected and the use of Civil 3D and Vehicle Tracking design software, in said design it has been proposed that the railway track is made up of 3 entrance lanes and 3 exit lanes with the geometric characteristic of 3.60 m lane width. Within the design, it has been decided to use the Federal Highway Administration regulations for three lanes, also known by its acronym FHWA and the Peruvian regulations are also taken as a reference to conceptualize some criteria. In relation to what was mentioned above about the geometric data of the lane widths, the maximum width that the FHWA tells us was chosen and for the roundabout lanes it was designed according to the characteristics of the WB-20 design vehicle, which is the truck. with greater dimension of this regulation. In addition, it should be noted that zebra crossings and sound strips have been integrated into this design to protect the safety of pedestrians and avoid speeding when entering the roundabout, which is based on its multilane use as specified by the standard.
