ABSTRACT
Querétaro-Celaya highway is the
obligatory road to the center of Mexico; the establishment of new companies in
the area has generated the need to study the dynamics of the vehicular flow
that transits this route. Given that the flow of traffic on a highway is a
stochastic phenomenon, it is necessary to apply tools that take into account
the randomness of the system to measure performance. Queueing theory models
capture the random nature of the phenomenon and provide direct information
about the relationship between the variables of the system. In this work, the
flow of vehicles on the Querétaro-Celaya highway is analyzed with a macroscopic
approach and using analytical models of queueing
theory; it is concluded that currently the flow on this road is non-congested.
The method is an alternative for institutions that do not have specialized
packages to carry out studies of this nature.
KEYWORDS
