Evaluación de alternativas para mejorar el nivel de servicio en la intersección vial entre la Avenida Caracas y la Avenida Ciudad de Villavicencio

Abstract

The intersection between Avenida Caracas and Avenida Ciudad de Villavicencio is a crucial point for the mobility of families residing south of Bogotá, however, empirical evidence allows establishing that the level of service in the sector in question is not the same. adequate, in terms of vehicular flow speed and structural conditions of the pavement, which, generates that travel times are increased and therefore the quality of service of said intersection decreases; Therefore, the main objective of this project is to establish geometric design alternatives that allow improving the quality of the service of the intersection under study, for the above, initially, a mobility study will be developed, in which the volumes will be obtained traffic traffic during peak hours, and then, by means of digital systems, perform a traffic flow modeling and calculate the level of service that prevails at the study intersection. Then, the possible causes that generate the traffic flow have low speeds will be established and later a model will be made with geometric alternatives different from the current ones with the purpose of increasing the level of service and quality. Finally, a series of conclusions and synthesis will be presented that will be established from the results obtained from the empirical methods and the theoretical-digital experimentation used during the development of the project, based on the above, it will be concisely established if the results meet the proposed objectives.
