Diseño de intersección vial urbana en la entrada principal del ingreso de la Utmach

Abstract

Over the years, the population grows at the national level, so problems arise, be they social, environmental, economic, etc. The provincial capital is growing rapidly and has this state highway that connects with different cantons, which is why a vehicular conflict is generated, causing movement difficulties, and the solutions are a request for civil engineering technicians. Therefore, roundabouts are mostly positive points for traffic, since they act as a mitigator for vehicular conflicts and road intersections. Therefore, in this case it is based on the study of the intersection of Panamericana avenue and the entrance road to Utmach, being a main road with greater growth at the city level. Thus, in the project, a roundabout was created between Panamericana avenue and the entrance road to the University of Machala, located in the town of Machala, in the El Oro area, for which photogrammetry was used to capture topographic information, for later begin to enter the topographic information obtained and use Civil 3D (Vehicle Tracking) software that allows us to design the roundabout and for this we have taken the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) as referential regulations.
