Estudio de velocidad en carreteras de dos carriles en zona montañosa municipio de Pamplona.

Abstract

The National Routes that converge to the Municipality of Pamplona Norte De Santander, are two lane roads with mountain topography, for this a speed study is convenient, which incidentally is a factor or an important variable in the Traffic Engineering, for the vehicular flow and ground transportation, which must be regulated and controlled, since this is synonymous with safety and well-being to generate a moderation between the driver, the vehicle and the road. In the execution of this study, a fieldwork was analyzed and subsequently developed with the objective of determining the speed at different points of these three roads that are located on Route 66, section 03 (PR 119 + 000-124 + 000) and route 55 section 05 (PR 65 + 00-68 + 000) and (PR 71 + 000 + 74 + 000). Taking into account the geometric parameters of these roads, in addition the classification of vehicles based on the concepts acquired in the Traffic Engineering, on the other hand, the use of automatic procedures in this case the radar gun (Bushell), and finally a statistical analysis and with it the determination of the road behavior of these roads. The results of this study allowed us to identify the various factors that affect the speed, thus obtaining the most critical sites where there is greater accident rate and visualizing the inconsistencies of the geometric layout, in order to give an improvement in the road safety of these roads.
