PROJECTS
Road Signage Project
The road signage project is a set of processes that aims to achieve a specific objective for better traffic flow, considering vertical and horizontal elements, well-defined deadlines and costs. It must contain all the details relevant to the work and its execution, adapting to the client's expectations.
Through the road signage project, it is the way in which the body responsible for traffic management communicates with the driver, providing information regarding regulations, dangers and the direction to follow and which consists of one of the main elements for road users.
Considered a mandatory item for better circulation of pedestrians and vehicles, the road signage project provides the necessary safety on traffic roads and offers information through signs, symbols and marks for drivers.
Smartvias operates in the development of road signage projects, providing feasibility and solutions in the area of transport infrastructure, prioritizing the technical quality of the work carried out, close customer service and objectivity in the results.
Paving Projects
An asphalt paving project involves several steps and requires a systematic approach to ensure its effectiveness and durability. Here are the main elements needed to develop an asphalt paving project:
Topographic Survey:
Conduct a detailed topographic survey of the area to understand the topography, slopes and other features that may affect the paving design.
Geotechnical Analysis:
Perform a geotechnical analysis to assess the bearing capacity of the soil. This is crucial to determining the base and sub-base layers required for the paving. With the results of the surveys and presentation of the Number “N” of repetitions of the standard axis, we will be able to know how to design the pavement structure to be used in the project area. The project will present the areas to be paved, as well as its structure containing the base, sub-base and necessary reinforcements, calculation memory and mechanistic verification through specific software. In addition, the project will include a descriptive and calculation report.
Traffic Study:
Analyze traffic patterns to determine the volume and type of vehicles that will use the road. This information is essential to correctly size the paving.
Structural Design:
Develop a structural design that includes the appropriate thickness of the base, subbase, and asphalt overlay. Consider anticipated load and local weather conditions.
Drainage:
Design an efficient drainage system to avoid problems such as water accumulation, which can compromise the stability of the paving. This includes the installation of gutters, storm drains and other devices.
Material Selection:
Choose the appropriate materials for each layer of paving, including the type of asphalt to be used. Consider traffic resistance, weather conditions and durability.
Budget and Financial Planning:
Estimate project costs, including materials, labor,
equipment and general expenses. Develop a financial plan to ensure there are sufficient resources to carry out the project.
Geometric Projects
It has CIts function is to determine the route of the road, present its location, detail the horizontal and vertical curves, determine the grade of the road, present cross sections every 20 meters and determine the longitudinal profile. The geometric access design is a fundamental part of road planning that aims to design the physical characteristics of the entrance and exit of a road, ensuring operational efficiency and safety for users. Below are guidelines that we consider in our geometric projects:
Surrounding Analysis:
We carry out a detailed analysis of the surroundings, considering factors such as urban development, residential and commercial areas and the presence of other accesses nearby. Understand local demands and existing traffic patterns.
Traffic Study:
We conducted our traffic study by evaluating volume,
composition and movement patterns of vehicles in the area. This information will guide the appropriate dimensioning of the access, including the number of lanes, widths and curvature radii.
Capacity Assessment:
Calculation of expected access capacity based on traffic forecasts. This will influence the sizing of elements such as acceleration and deceleration lanes, ensuring traffic fluidity.
Horizontal Geometry:
Development of horizontal geometry, considering the visibility curve, curvature radii and smooth transitions between tangents and curves, always ensuring that the layout provides a safe transition between the main road and access, using project vehicles
and simulated using specific software.
Vertical Geometry:
Vertical geometry design, including longitudinal profile and slope of the access lane, ensuring that the profile allows a smooth transition between different levels and meets accessibility and safety standards.
Acceleration and Deceleration Ranges:
Acceleration Rangeto the:
Additional lane intended for changing speed, whose objectives are: to allow the vehicle when entering the main road to reach a compatible speed and to allow vehicles on the main road to adjust their operation for the vehicles to enter the traffic flow.
Deceleration Range:
Additional lane intended for changing speed, whose objectives are: to allow the vehicle leaving the main road to reach a speed compatible with the characteristics of the access and consequently the local road without interfering with the operation of vehicles upstream of the traffic flow.
In projects we are concerned with determining these ranges,
with safe extensions, within the standards, adjusted to the bandstand tapers, necessary to facilitate the safe entry and exit of vehicles. Consider the speed of the main road and typical driver behavior.
Security Elements:
Integrate security elements such as security strips, metallic fenders and access control devices, to minimize the risk of collisions and ensure user safety.
Distance between Accesses:
Evaluate the distance between nearby accesses to avoid conflicts
unnecessary and maintain the efficiency of the road system, always in light of specific manuals, local standards and safety guidelines.
spacing between accesses.
Integration with Road Signage:
Coordination of the geometric project with road signage,
including the installation of information signs, traffic lights and other devices necessary to guide users.
Road Access Projects
Road access projects are essential to guarantee a safe and efficient transition between a main road and adjacent areas such as properties, side streets or
commercial establishments. These projects aim to optimize connectivity and mobility, considering factors such as traffic flow, road safety and local needs.
We have experience in different types of access projects, some of which are:
Residential Access:
Access project that connects residential streets to the main road. It includes elements such as acceleration and deceleration lanes, access ramps and, when necessary, specific signage for residents.
Commercial or Industrial Access:
Projects aimed at the entrance and exit of commercial areas or industrial. May include dedicated lanes for vehicles
cargo, loading and unloading areas, as well as specific signage for access by heavy vehicles.
Access to Education or Health Establishments:
Specific projects to facilitate access to schools, hospitals or other similar institutions. Considers pedestrian safety, parking areas and possible needsof public transport.
Access to Entertainment Centers:
Projects for areas that house cinemas, stadiums, event centers and similar. Considers the large volume of traffic on event days, the need for parking areasTheadequate and efficient input and output flows.
Aaccess to Service Areas and Comm Stationsfuel:
Projects that ensure a safe transition to vehicles that access gas stations, roadside restaurants and service areas. Includes deceleration and access lanes, clear signage and parking spaces.
Access to Shopping Centers:
Access project for shopping centers, supermarkets and other shopping centers. Consider the need for fluxthe input ones efficient egress and egress, as well as adequate parking areas.
Aaccess to Planned Residential Areas:
