Metodología para la evaluación de diseños geométricos en carreteras de montaña

Abstract

Roadway geometric designs must guarantee road safety and comfort for road users. To guarantee this requirement, compliance with the regulations in force in the country will be compared with the current state of the roads. The critical points of the road will be identified for geometric evaluation and an evaluation model for road geometric designs will be proposed. This evaluation model will be of practical use for the different public entities that require it. This research aims to solve the problem: How are the geometric designs of mountain roads related to road safety? For this purpose, an evaluation methodology will be proposed for geometric designs that guarantee road safety on mountain roads. These will be evaluated with the current regulations for geometric designs of roads, which are: Geometric Design Standards for Roads: Geometric Design Standards for Roads - 2003 and NEVI - 12. For the execution of this research, the following methodologies will be used: bibliographic and internet research, field research, and documentary writing, which will be used to formulate an evaluation methodology for geometric designs that guarantee road safety on mountain roads
