Abstract:

In this research work, a traffic study was conducted on race. 2A between 9th and 11th streets in the Municipality of Arauquita, Department of Arauca, because it is necessary to complement information and obtain the traffic parameter for the design of a rigid pavement in this sector, in order to improve the conditions of the road. Initially, through an analysis, the equivalent axles for this design are calculated; a vehicle count of the main road to be intervened is performed because it lacks historical series of traffic counts and characteristics of the traffic in the low volume roads and lanes. A vehicle count was performed during one week to determine the vehicle volume, resulting in 205 vehicles per day, with a design period of 20 years; an annual growth rate of 2.5%; a roadway width of 7m, a reliability of 80%; and the TPDs were transformed into equivalent axles of 80KN to obtain the result of 603,609,563 equivalent axles of 80Kn.
