1. INTRODUCTION
Analyze the impact of urban development projects in the area of Traffic
Engineering is important because it allow us to predict, analyze and provide
alternative solutions to the impacts that these in the system, whether positive
or negative.
The presence of shopping malls, department stores, housing complexes,
universities, technology institutes, schools, etc. are major attractors travel
centers and pedestrian traffic; causing saturation in urban road traffic
congestion and public and private transport being a notorious lack of spaces for
pedestrian mobility.
In this sense, urban congestion is a problem of the cities above a certain size,
whether in cities in developed countries or developing. In our country, we have
a tendency higher than other countries in Latin America continued growth, but
this growth is not reflected in the improvement of our Urban Transport System
thus traveling through the streets of Lima at rush hour is very complicated by
traffic congestion you suffer every day.
In the last decade, our capital has grown at an almost exponential rate
investment by foreign state and that is reflected in the construction of new
infrastructure, such as, housing, schools, colleges, universities, shopping
centers, etc. This development is creating certain problems in urban transport
because our existing roads are being overloaded their capacity to actual design.
Today, there are problems of congestion in almost all the streets of Lima, not
having an adequate Control System Transport and Urban Growth our capital is
suffering the problems of road congestion.
Therefore, in addressing the course of Traffic Engineering, it will aim to expose
the basic principles of the elements required to prepare and review a study of
road impact, without trying to cover quite as extensive methodology and
manage travel demand regulating the use of existing transport systems and thus
to participate in social behavior benefiting the road network and users and
pedestrians.

1.3. OBJETIVES
Determine the level of service for every intersection, analyze them and
determine if it is necessary to improve the intersection and what kind of
solutions we can offer.

1.4. METHODOLOGY
The type of methodology to perform is the descriptive because, it seeks to
investigate, measure and evaluate to describe the current transport situation in 4
certain intersections. And, since the required data are obtained by measuring,
collecting data are the quantitative. To carry out this work we have a work
methodology, divided into the following:
Assessment and recognition of the study area.
Prior inspection of the place where the work is performed, compiling
photographic information of the site and application area to determine the study
area and crosses or sections of roads to study.
1.4.1. El Cortijo with Manuel Olguin Avenue
To work in Manuel Olguin Avenue with El Cortijo Street, which is a nonsignalized intersection, two people are needed to perform the respective
count in all directions, as it presented a high traffic flow during peak hours.
1.4.2. Manuel Olguin Avenue with El Derby Avenue
Manuel Olguin avenue with Derby avenue is an intersection with traffic
light, to count the cars coming from all directions is advisable to count with
at least two people as it has 3 phases, plus three of the senses have three
lanes. The method would one count of those coming from the south and
west, the other person counts the east and north.
1.4.3. Aymaras Street with El Derby Avenue
Aymaras street with El Derby Avenue is a non-signalized intersection that
has a major street (El Derby avenue) and a minor street (Aymaras street). To
carry on with the work, we need two people counting on week days because
22
of high traffic flow during the hours we have chosen to count. For weekend
days, only one person is needed.
You stand on the corner of Aymaras street, next to the office building and
start counting. It would be dangerous to stand in the median, because it is
not protected and cars sometimes go really fast so there can be an accident.
1.4.4. El Polo Avenue with El Derby Avenue
El Derby and El Polo Avenue have lots of cars from Monday to Friday.
Because of that, it is necessary to have two people counting cars. The
methodology we used was one person in the corner of El Polo counting cars
from east to west and also the cars that comes from the north and turn right
or left; while the other person is on the other corner counting cars from west
to east and the ones that turns left. Because of the number of cars, both people
have to count the cars that comes from the north and go through.
The situation is different on the weekend because the number of cars is less
than during the week. For the count that we did on the weekend, we only
needed one person.
1.5. LIMITATIONS
We didnt have major problems while we were counting, but there were things
that paused our counts sometimes.
In Aymaras Street there is a huge office building so there are cars coming in
and out all day. When you come from the east (El Derby Avenue) and want
to turn right to Aymaras street, if a car is coming in or out, it causes a waiting
line that interferes with traffic and pause the counts.
23
There was a drunken man who was bothering one of us. He was disturbing all
the time so he did not allow counting efficiently.
There was a crash between two cars in El Derby avenue with El Polo avenue.
It happened on Monday night at 7 pm approximately. Fortunately, there were
not dead people; the crash was taken charge of by the police, who were near
the accident. It stooped the cars moving freely and it did not permit the
counting of cars in that moment.

Saturation flow rate was determine by using this formula. Taking the characteristics
of the intersection as number of lanes, percentage of trucks, width of the lane, scope
of the terrain. The following table shows the values of each lane.
