Análisis para implementar, reductor de velocidad cerca a la escuela “Herminia Gruanuer de Loayza” en la ciudad de Santa Rosa.

Abstract

Millions of people die annually in the world due to the traffic accidents they cause, Ecuador was ranked seventh in Latin America and the thirteenth worldwide in the rate of deaths due to traffic accidents, according to the WHO. One of the problems that exists in the cities of the country is the excessive increase in the vehicle fleet. The lack of maintenance in the road infrastructure and at the same time of the devices of reduction of speed that are in different sectors of the cities, in addition the deficient signage that nowadays exist in the ways as in the case of the corner Santa Rosa cause problems of accidents to this is added the lack of vertical and horizontal signaling on the roads. In the City of Santa Rosa, there is speeding on Avenida José Joaquín de Olmedo between October 15 and José Vega Dávila, since the lack of a speed reducer in this sector puts the physical integrity of children at risk. the School of Basic Education "Herminia Grunauer de Loayza" and of the inhabitants who are bordering on said school. For this, it is proposed to implement a speed reducer type device, for which the Ecuadorian technical specifications and regulations currently in force will be implemented, in order to prevent traffic accidents from occurring as the speeding of the different vehicles is evident. vehicles that circulate in this school zone. The bibliography review will be made regarding the study problem, in indexed pages, scientific journals, books, among others, several field inspections will be made to acquire information of the problem site subject to study and then perform the respective analysis tabulating and processing the information obtained, with the help of computer and analytical software. Later it is proposed to propose the technical solution to the problem raised using the methodology of vehicle counting, surveys to the residents on the opinion of the location of the device in order to avoid the run over of the children since in this way they travel daily in the school season. students from the nearby school and besides being a commercial area. In our research work with the purpose of knowing the characteristics of traffic such as the types and number of vehicles passing through the avenue, a manual vehicle count was carried out, with the help of chronometers and trained people to measure time 50 meters before the intersection of the street until when the vehicle stops to cross it. The speed reducer concrete type that is proposed to be built will be built in situ near the entrance of the school following the regulations of the MTOP and the Ecuadorian Technical Regulations, in addition to this its respective vertical and horizontal signaling is included. It should be noted that by using the Minitabs software, the histograms of the speeds of the vehicles circulating in the aforementioned study area were obtained.
