Sincronización de semáforos para el descongestionamiento vehicular de la intersección avenida ferroviaria y troncal e 25 de la parroquia El Cambio

Abstract

Socio-economic development goes hand in hand with population growth, increased car fleet and demand for social services, such as transportation, health, education, communication, among others. The civil engineering career has the relevance of developing urban mobility, in a safe, comfortable and integrated way, for this reason it uses both theoretical and practical knowledge when devising technically feasible and economically viable solutions. The problem to be addressed is vehicular congestion at an intersection, being a common adverse situation in urban areas where road infrastructure does not progress parallel to urban growth, this generates driver discomfort, delays in travel times and increases accident rate by not have enough freedom to travel. The present study aims to propose an alternative solution to vehicular congestion at the intersection Avenida Ferroviaria and Troncal E25, by simulating field data in Synchro 8 software, to improve road traffic in the affected area. An iterative methodology is used, analyzing the information of four capacity stations through the software to determine the optimal traffic light times when decongesting the intersection. The results explain how to go from a level of congestion C to a service between A and B, adjusting the traffic light times to 25 and 45 seconds with a cycle length of 70 seconds, reducing the delay from 55 to 15 seconds, complying with The demands of the case study.
