Estudio, análisis operacional y diseño tipo de las paradas del transporte público urbano de la Ciudad de Machala

Abstract

Urban mobility in recent years became more important in the planning / management of municipal localities at the national level, due to the growth of their cities and the congestion that was caused by not having the due control, as well as the lack of ordinances that regulate this problem in an effective way; the disorderly growth not only of the population but also of the transport routes that operate within the city, caused the offering of unsafe, non-inclusive sites to the citizens with people with reduced mobility and with visual disabilities and uncomfortable for the common user. In this sense, European cities are leaders in urban mobility, having a book in the European Union proposing goals to mitigate these deficiencies at the continental level; In our region, Brazil is a model to follow because of its policies and procedures implemented over the years in cities such as Curitiba and Sao Paulo; In our country, the city of Cuenca is a model to follow in this aspect, for its bus lines and for its correct organization in the location of the stops. In this titling work, an integral analysis of all the urban transport stops that exist in the city of Machala was sought, in order to be able to deliver to the community and the competent authorities, a sample of the deficiencies of the current stops at the pair of evidencing what needs to be adapted in relation to them. Therefore, a survey of field information was carried out through surveys and checklist, which revealed the current status of the town in this issue, which found the presence of 32 stops with bays being a small number for the demography of This was also witnessed 58 stops without signs and 293 stops with signage, giving a total of 386 existing stops, which were deepened in the security, accessibility / comfort and design of the stops, obtaining poor results for urban growth that has had the Ourense capital, having as the most scarce protection against inclement weather, the lack of complementary services such as garbage and the absence of bays and horizontal and vertical signage as established by the RTE INEN 004 standard. Subsequently, we proceeded to find alternatives that meet the standards and design parameters within the country, adapting to the conditions of the city, through bibliographies, scientific articles, indexed papers and information that has been raised regarding the theme in our environment , from which the type design of two urban transport stops was obtained, based on cities from abroad such as Sao Paulo, as well as within the national context in cities such as Cuenca and El Chaco, in order to grant a waiting place give security, accessibility and comfort to the user who uses this means of transport, and who in turn can be inclusive with people with disabilities by complying with national and international standards that so provide. With this investigation it was possible to determine the importance of a correct bus transport stop, offering with its implementation comfort and safety not only to the user, but also to the residents where these infrastructures will be located.
