Rediseño de rutas y frecuencias intracantonales para el transporte público en el cantón Pangua en el periodo 2020.

Abstract

The objective was to redesign intra-canton routes and frequencies for public transportation in the Pangua canton in the period 2020, to improve the mobility of the population, this through the evaluation of each of the routes with the help of technical and legal parameters useful for the progress of this project. For the development of the research it was necessary to diagnose the current situation of the canton for which surveys were applied to the population of the canton and thus obtain the O-D matrix of trips, also used cards of ascent and descent of passengers to 18 routes covered by the only existing operator in the place, in which it was possible to obtain the number of passengers transported in each of the routes and the occupancy rate. Once the field research was completed, it was determined that most trips are generated and attracted in two parishes, Moraspungo and El Corazón, which are also the ones with the largest territorial extension. The modal distribution was also obtained, in which 33% of the population travels by coastal bus / ranchera type and 28% travels in vans to their destinations. With the information obtained from the passenger boarding and alighting cards, it was possible to determine the IPK of each of the routes evaluated, with an average of 1.8 passengers per kilometer traveled, and it was also possible to determine that several sectors do not have access to public transportation. Once all these criteria were analyzed and in accordance with the technical regulations, a redesign of routes and frequencies was proposed to cover the transportation needs of the canton. For the implementation of this project, it is recommended that the authorities carry out periodic evaluations of the mobility within the canton of Pangua.
