Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze road traffic studies as part of the necessary conditions for the development of urban real estate assemblies. Road traffic studies include its structure and requirements, and traffic analysis is done for three types of scenarios. These scenarios are divided into: the current stage, the stage with the inclusion of the building and the perspective view for a period of 5 years, including the effect of the building. As part of the study, calculations are included to determine traffic flow capacities of road arteries, simulations in Synchro software, and the estimation of effects produced by greenhouse effect gases for all three scenarios. The last part of the road traffic study includes the accesses, to and from the building, so that overall road traffic is less affected. These road traffic studies are an important preliminary part of starting a building construction, as a large number of parking spaces allocated to the building bring a stream of additional vehicles to the urban area.
