Sincronización de semáforos en la intersección de la Av. Arizaga y Av. Pajonal de la Ciudad de Machala

Abstract

Demographic growth and vehicular congestion are two variables that act indirectly together, important to highlight and analyze; although it is true, the second variable refers to the condition of obstruction and saturation of the vehicular flow of roads generating an increase in travel times and other chaotic situations that daily light, medium and heavy vehicles face within an area in particular that at the same time increase day by day with the demographic growth mentioned above. That is why this research has as its main objective the analysis of vehicular congestion at the intersection of Av. Arizaga, Av. Pajonal and Av. Luis Ángel León Román through a field methodology, with an initial capacity of 12 hours to determine the times of greater traffic influx both in the morning and in the afternoon for a period of one week and with a periodic interval of 15 minutes, all through the use of the Synchro 8.0 road traffic simulation program. allowing to obtain the traffic congestion index at the intersection under study.
