Propuesta para reducción de los niveles de presión sonora ocasionados por los camiones del actual sistema de distribución de GLP en la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

In recent months, fines have been made to the guild of LPG distributors in Quito for using a horn as announcement and with this, protests by the guild to the Municipality. A mobile application software was proposed as a solution to these problems. To evaluate its viability, two zones were selected, considering: Internet connections, LPG distributors and population, obtaining as a result: Calderón and Guamaní. In both zones, measurements were made of the sound pressure level of a main and a secondary street. In addition, the sound pressure levels emitted by two distributing trucks were measured: one that uses the horn and another one that uses a musical device, considering the possible simultaneous use of both alternatives. With the previous data, the noise distribution in the iNoise program, based on the ISO 9613 norm. The maps of the noise dispersion model and the distances at which the noise produced by the delivery trucks is attenuated up to the environmental levels of sound pressure. At the same time, a socialization of the application was carried out, a survey on the perception of the current situation of the LPG distribution system and a comparison of the proposal with the alternatives currently used.
