Análisis de movilidad vehicular en el derecho vial 45A, en el tramo comprendido entre el PR inicial + 88 (Planta Mac Pollo) y el PR final + 89 (Pare quiero piña), sentidos norte - sur y sur - norte, Municipio de Floridablanca

Abstract

The present study, titled "Vehicular Mobility Analysis on the 45A Road Right-of-Way, in the Section between Initial PR + 88 (Mac Pollo Plant) and Final PR + 89 (Pare quiero piña), North-South and South-North Directions, Municipality of Floridablanca," focuses on investigating and analyzing vehicular mobility in a specific section of the 45A road in the Municipality of Floridablanca. The studied section covers from Initial PR + 88 (Mac Pollo Plant) to Final PR + 89 (Pare quiero piña), considering both directions of traffic, North-South and South-North. The main objective of this study is to understand the vehicular mobility patterns in the study area, identify potential critical points, and evaluate the road's capacity and levels of service according to the parameters established by the INVIAS Multilane Capacity and Levels of Service Manual. To achieve this objective, field vehicle counts were conducted, satellite images were collected, and data analyses were performed to characterize the current vehicular mobility in the selected road section. Additionally, the road infrastructure conditions were evaluated, critical points were identified, and possible improvement measures were proposed. The results indicate that the primary causes of congestion are the lane reduction in the analyzed section, leading to a decrease in capacity and levels of service. It is concluded that the most effective solution to mitigate congestion in this section is the construction of a third lane. This expansion of road capacity will significantly improve traffic flow, reduce travel times, and increase levels of service, benefiting both users and the overall efficiency of the transportation system.
