Abstract
POSADA HENAO, JOHN JAIRO; FARBIARZ CASTRO, VIVIANA and GONZALEZ CALDERON, CARLOS ALBERTO. ANALISYS OF "PICO Y PLACA" AS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION RESTRICTION IN MEDELLÍN - BASED ON TRAFFIC VOLUMES. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2011, vol.78, n.165, pp.112-121. ISSN 0012-7353.
This paper presents a brief description of the evolution of "Pico y Placa" (vehicular restriction) in Medellin, a measure to restrict the vehicular circulation during peak hours. An analysis is exposed based on previous studies before its implementation (2004). This article also provides a comparison within the results of subsequent studies (2005 to 2008) with and without restriction. In addition, presents and analyzes its limitations in the long term and the impact on emissions; finally, a set of recommendations are presented to improve and evaluate the vehicular restriction in the future.
