Propuesta de una metodología para estudios de oferta y demanda de transporte público de pasajeros en las modalidades intraprovincial e interprovincial

Abstract

The present titling work called Proposal of a Methodology for Studies of Supply and Demand of Public Passenger Transportation in the Intraprovincial and Interprovincial Modality has as such to recognize and establish appropriate variables for conducting said studies in a technical manner, which can obtain results to meet the needs of users and operators. The research was carried out based on the elaboration of a verification sheet that contains the basic parameters of the structure of the methodology such as characterization and zoning, analysis of transport supply and demand, survey format, information collection, processing and obtain results, the methods allowed to compare international and national methodologies related to the subject, but above all focused on the existing reality of the way in which the National Transit Agency conducts these studies, being the same in a traditional way rather than technical , so that the results obtained were not adequate, granting routes and frequencies, increasing unnecessary vehicle fleet. At the time of carrying out the methodology, the variable methods and parameters were established to carry out the field work, applying the tools according to the operator's requirement, which can be fleet sizing, new route concession, time change, frequency increase, route modification, and thus be able to process said information to obtain results and implement measures according to the case study. In conclusion, by having a methodology we can know the variables that really must be modified for this type of study in the modalities of Intraprovincial and Interprovincial transport. Therefore, it is recommended to follow the processes in the analysis of the supply and demand of transport established in the methodology carried out in a field work with trained personnel to obtain technical results and to be able to meet the transport needs.
