Semaforización en las intersecciones de las calles Bolívar y Juan Montalvo como medida de seguridad del Cantón Pasaje

Abstract

Urban mobility is a social necessity, in which both vehicular and pedestrian traffic goes to their workplaces or performs their daily tasks when traveling inside the city. The increase in the car fleet, population growth and inadequate urban management brings conflicts such as congestion, accident rate or other problems related to road infrastructure. The problem to be solved is the lack of control in the interception of the Bolívar and Juan Montalvo streets of the Pasaje canton, because it causes conato of road accidents, discomfort in the community, congestion and turbulent insecurity because they do not have the signage required in the zone The general objective of the project is to analyze the implementation of a fixed time traffic light at the Bolívar and Juan Montalvo interception, using Webster's methodology to improve road safety in the sector. The methods used are bibliographical research to the director criteria and build the theoretical framework, manual capacity to obtain field data, Webster's formulas to calculate the optimal cycle length and times of the lights at the traffic light; implicitly a systemic analysis is applied when unifying and devising the most feasible solution according to the context studied. The results detail the optimal times at the traffic light to control the interception, explaining how the safety of the vehicle and the turbine is fed back with the correct signaling, giving a viable solution to the practical case.
