Determinación de las características de transito enmarcadas en el trafico promedio diario anual (tpda), espectro de carga y ancho de vía, en las arterias viales e30 manta-portoviejo, e30 rodeo-portoviejo, e39a Rocafuerte- Portoviejo y e462b Santa Ana-Portoviejo, que confluyen en la ciudad de Portoviejo

Abstract

This thesis is based on an analysis of traffic flow passing through the main access roads to the city of Portoviejo, considering the respective vehicle classification and analyzing not only the net weight of the vehicle, which is regulated, but also generating an objective investigation aimed at those vehicles passing glance with excessive loads. The analysis is based on vehicle regulations biased by the Ecuadorian Norma Road, where there are specific details of function and service of each vehicle, providing parameters such as size and allowable loads each. Likewise, it also became available calculation methods applied by the American Officers Association of State Highway and Transportation or by its acronym AASHTO American Association of State Highway and Transportation, and the Portland Cement Association, for its acronym in English PCA, Portland Cement Association. The purpose of this research is to generate a load spectrum based on the actual loads transiting pathways under study, revealing the magnitude of the problem of moving with excessive loads exceeding the limits stipulated in national regulations
