    Manual de diseño de vías urbanas
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Correa Montoya, Mariana; Agudelo Ospina, John Jairo
    The urban road design manual has been written based on the recommendations of the Manual de Diseño Geométrico de Vías, published in 2008 by the Instituto Nacional de Vías of Colombia, on the compilation of different books and publications on road design, the experience acquired by the author throughout her professional performance and the experience acquired by the project tutor as one of the most recognized road design engineers. The manual covers several aspects to take into account when conceiving an urban road, but focuses mainly on geometric design. This manual is presented in a clear and concise way, without leaving aside the technical, so that it is easier to access and interpret for various users.

    Propuesta de diseño de doble calzada entre el Alto de las Palmas y el sector de Don Diego
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Bergaño Jaramillo, Carlos Alberto; Zapata Múnera, Abraham Uriel
    Vehicle congestion problems are a fundamental part of the planning agenda of the main cities and territories of the world, because it is a problem that affects the economic performance and quality of life of people. The commercial and industrial development along with the population growth of eastern Antioquia due to the development of real estate projects has generated a high demand for traffic on the road between El Alto de Palmas and the Don Diego sector, presenting vehicular congestion, mobility difficulties and low circulation speeds in the sector, which has increased travel times between the Aburra valley and the San Nicolas valley, thus decreasing the quality of life of the population of the two regions for a total of 12.79 km.. This road belongs to the first generation concession Devimed S.A., which in turn is in charge of the operation and maintenance of the roads of Eastern Antioquia. In view of the importance and impact it brings to the mobility of the region, the need arises to improve the road infrastructure of the route 56AN-01 corridor. This road begins in the Alto de Palmas sector at abscissa Km10+380 (roundabout in the Mall Indiana sector) to the Don Diego Sector roundabout in the municipality of El Retiro at Km 23+170 . This project consists of solving the mobility problem through the design of an additional roadway to the existing one, thus improving the operating conditions. For this purpose, a diagnosis of the current state of the existing infrastructure was carried out, contemplating the traffic study that contains information such as capacity, geometric surveys and secondary information such as bibliographic references, after this the INVIAS traffic analysis tables are used to determine the service levels and current capacity. Subsequently, the alternative of a double carriageway with a projected traffic at 20 years, to evaluate your need. Once these criteria are obtained, the geometric design is carried out as established by the National Highway Institute (INVIAS) in the geometric design manuals, AASHTO GDHS-7US Department of Transportation. Based on the design information, the budget is presented based on the analysis of unit prices (APU) and work quantities.
