Modelo de diseño de movilidad no motorizada sostenible de corredores viarios para ciudades de hasta 300.000 habitantes

Abstract

In the present degree work, the analysis of the non-motorized mobility of a road corridor was addressed, to propose a design model that allows sustainable mobility, and its optimization taking into account the analysis of safety, equipment, comfort, accessibility and costs. The objective of the research is to carry out a non-motorized mobility design model through the analysis of criteria related to urban planning in road corridors for cities with up to 300,000 inhabitants. To meet this objective, the bibliographical research of scientific articles that support the model process carried out was initiated, with them the design criteria were characterized, which were analyzed through the evaluation of infrastructure and mobility, applying techniques such as surveys and data sheets. observation, vehicle capacity. This collected information allowed us to establish the road corridor which was the Buenavista Street of the Machala Canton, whose use is the most necessary according to the surveys carried out, coupling to the evaluation obtained by the public company Movilidad Machala. This information corresponds as a starting point for the analysis of the other indicators, where the road corridor is evaluated complying with 50% of the criteria, revealing that planning will be necessary to improve these scores to consider it optimal for non-motorized mobility. It was verified that the measurements in the field are the minimum per standard, and that they offer a comfortable service. Through the route of the corridor and using observation sheets, criteria such as the combination with public transport, lighting, signage, places of public interest, tree to spare, connectivity and cycle parking, which meet minimum standards, were qualified qualitatively. and needs improvements in several aspects. We indicate a reference budget for the regeneration of a road corridor, where a value of $26,900.20 per km of construction was obtained. Finally, the corridor is evaluated by reducing the vehicle fleet, where it is estimated that in the first year 48 veh/h will be reduced, in the same way the level of service is evaluated, obtaining that pedestrians perceive a level of service C, and cyclists a service level D, which indicates that the corridor does not provide adequate service for non-motorized mobility
