    Análisis y propuesta de solución integral del congestionamiento vehicular de la intersección de la Av. del Ejército y Av. América de Portoviejo
    (2017) Barcia Mendoza, Miguel Isidro; Tejeda Piusseaut, Eduardo
    In the city of Portoviejo, located on the central coast of Ecuador, with approximately 300,000 inhabitants, vehicular traffic has been disorganized due to the increase in its car fleet, the poor road behavior of drivers, pedestrians and, little signage, and the lack of interest shown by the transit authority. This is the reason why the present document analyzes the case of perhaps one of the most important intersections and as far as congestion is concerned and that in the course of time presents progressive delays due to the increase in its volume of traffic, which is the consequence that the Service Level (LOS) is currently the most unfavorable (F) at the calculated peak hour and at other times of the day. For this purpose tools such as HCM 2000, Cal and Mayor and N. Garber and the Synchro 8 simulator have been used. The actual volumes obtained by recording two cameras were used and projected to three years and also twenty-five years.
