Estudio y diseno de un distribuidor de transito en el sitio la y de montecristi en la via de enlace manta-rocafuerte

Abstract

This project refers to the study and design of a transit distributor in “the Y” of Montecristi on the Manta-Rocafuerte link road, this road being high vehicular flow with cargo from the seaport of Manta that during peak hours is congested, causing collapse in the city of Montecristi and a eventual increase in the possibility of collisions between vehicles. The main management of a traffic distributor is to provide greater capacity, efficiency and safety in vehicular traffic. There are many elements, one of which is the geometric layout, which gives a service to part or all of the direction change movements directing them safely. Knowing the volume of traffic helps to design the road, since it is carried out according to the number of vehicles circulating within it. Perform the traffic volume studies taking into account all the variables that may introduce yourself. Regarding the geometric layout, several studies must be taken into account such as geology, hydrology, drainage of the area, traffic and whether it will exist or There is some modification in the service that is currently being provided. Traffic accidents are a global public health problem, due to the deaths it causes and also because it generates disabilities. Among the main causes of accidents we have the incompetence of the drivers and the irresponsibility of pedestrians when crossing roads, which sometimes do not present the necessary safety for pedestrians. Disrespecting traffic laws also generates accidents, which is why it is due Know and apply what they say. Analyzing the problem of accident rates in this high-risk area vehicular flow, this being the number of vehicles that transit a place in a unit of time, it is necessary to construct structural elements that allow the flow of traffic with previously designed security.
