METHODOLOGICAL GUIDELINES FOR INCORPORATING THE TRIMOVIL IN TRAFFIC STUDIES IN THE CITY OF HUÁNUCO

Abstract

Mobility conditions in Peruvian cities require strategic interventions by the entities in charge of urban transportation. The trimovil as a means of transportation is evolving in terms of the quantity and use that is given to them on the roads; therefore, technical studies of their road capacity are required to be useful for mobility management and the definition of public traffic policies. This paper proposes methodological guidelines to incorporate the trimovil factor about the automobile (current design vehicle) in local traffic flow studies, starting from the analysis of the parameters that influence traffic operation, to propose an application model based on the speed-space of both vehicles, validate it and finally propose numerical values of the ratio factor between the trimovil and the automobile, which incorporates the trimovil as a design vehicle in traffic studies in the city of Huánuco.
