Abstract

ESPINEL DUARTE, Luis Eduardo; LADINO CHAVES, Oswaldo  and  IGUARAN SALINAS, Lauren Diane. Diagnosis of the effects generated by long-distance traffic in the road network of the municipality of Cachipay, Cundinamarca. Tecnura [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.56, pp.62-75. ISSN 0123-921X.  https://doi.org/10.14483/22487638.13761.

Context:

This study presents the weak infrastructure that exists on long-haul roads. The municipality of Cachipay, Cundinamarca, is taken as a case study, which does not escape a series of mobility inconveniences due to the failures of the road network.

Method:

The research was developed in the line of investigation of modeling and simulation of problems, with the approach of a case study through inventory and damage analysis, developing two alternatives, and choosing the most appropriate one.

Results:

The search for solutions to mobility problems in the municipality of Cachipay has generated an increase in vehicular traffic through the streets of the municipality, ranging from 67% to 46%, according to traffic counts recorded on weekdays against the holidays.

Conclusions:

Because it is a municipality near the capital, Cachipay ought to have proposals that contribute to solve the deterioration of the streets and alternate roads, and to strengthen the municipal vehicle fleet.

Keywords : Cachipay; damage inventory; road network; vehicular mobility; Long-range traffic.
