This study diagnoses the impact of the implementation of the "Carola" Intersection in global accessibility terms, establishing a comparative into mean travel time vectors, calculated from vehicle operational speed between the city of Manizales' existing network and modified network including the new intersection, besides defining zones and users benefited by the new transport infrastructure.
This research explores the benefits of a proposal for urban road infrastructure which aims to improve road connection between northwest and western neighborhoods of the city of Manizales, Colombia, as well as to expand the ring of urban mobility that runs through the city. By calculating the global average accessibility and comparing the current and future situation, by averages of savings gradient, timesaving generated by this alternative are obtained in terms of average travel time. There is evidenced that suggest the road infrastructure proposal would generate savings in the average travel times for the entire city, especially to the neighborhoods located in the area of direct influence.
Se realiza un análisis del impacto que puede generar los cambios de dirección y velocidad en la red vial del municipio de La Dorada en el departamento de Caldas (Colombia). Para ello se emplean modelos de oferta del transporte, a fin de generar una zona libre de flujo vehicular en el área del Malecón donde puedan potenciarse los espacios públicos y de recreación para los ciudadanos. Mediante un análisis de accesibilidad para cuatro escenarios, la situación actual y tres alternativas de intervención, se calcula el porcentaje de ahorro en el tiempo medio de viaje en la situación base y en cada una de las alternativas. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que una correcta combinación de los cambios de dirección y cambios de velocidad en la red vial puede liberar el flujo de vehículos de una zona de la ciudad debido al ahorro de tiempo al utilizar rutas diferentes para desplazarse.
