Resumen

La seguridad vial es un desafío global, y el uso de herramientas como el análisis del coeficiente de fricción longitudinal (CFL) son esenciales para evaluar y mejorar las condiciones de las carreteras. Este estudio se centró en el tramo Jipijapa - La Pila en Ecuador, utilizando un enfoque cuantitativo para analizar el CFL mediante técnicas descriptivas y comparativas, incluyendo el ensayo de mancha de arena para evaluar la textura superficial del pavimento. Los resultados destacan la correlación directa entre la calidad del pavimento y la seguridad vial, mostrando la importancia de mantener adecuados niveles de fricción y textura para prevenir accidentes. El estudio mostró que el mantenimiento de las vías es fundamental para garantizar la seguridad y eficiencia de las redes viales, sugiriendo la necesidad de integrar prácticas de auditoría de seguridad vial más regulares y normativas en la gestión del pavimento. La comparación de los datos con normativas internacionales valida la metodología utilizada y resalta la eficacia de las intervenciones propuestas para mejorar la infraestructura vial en el contexto específico de Manabí.

Abstract

Road safety is a global challenge, and the use of tools such as the International Roughness Index (IRI) and the analysis of the Longitudinal Friction Coefficient (CFL) are essential for assessing and improving road conditions. This study focused on the Jipijapa - La Pila segment in Ecuador, using a quantitative approach to analyze the CFL through descriptive and comparative techniques, including the sand patch test to assess the pavement's surface texture. The results highlight the direct correlation between pavement quality and road safety, underscoring the importance of maintaining adequate levels of friction and texture to prevent accidents. The study demonstrated that road maintenance is fundamental to ensuring the safety and efficiency of road networks, suggesting the need to integrate more regular and standardized road safety audit practices into pavement management. Comparing the data with international standards validates the methodology used and highlights the effectiveness of the proposed interventions to improve road infrastructure in the specific context of Manabí.

Keywords: Sand Patch, Longitudinal Friction Coefficient, Road Safety, Pavement Texture, Road Maintenance.
