Estudio de necesidades para el transporte comercial, modalidad transporte mixto en el cantón la Concordia provincia de Santo Domingo

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the need for mixed commercial transportation through a study of needs in this modality, through an analysis of the existing supply and demand to meet the need for mixed transportation service in the canton of La Concordia, Santo Domingo province, and through an analysis of the data available This study was based on Resolutions 076-DIR-ANT-2020 and 012-DE-ANT-2021, which indicate the regulations established for this modality and the guidelines required for the development of need studies. The methodology used is the quantitative one, which is obtained from the collection of information, for which the study area was zoned by parishes. Once the target population was identified, we proceeded to collect the information, which indicates the mobility habits and current needs of users in the canton. Based on the results shown, it is determined that there is a need for mixed commercial transportation. The canton has an illegal transportation service, which leads us to conclude the results showed that the canton has an illegal supply of this service, since this mean is not regularized by the corresponding entity. For this purpose, we coupled the sizing formula used in the light load mode, since the mixed transport mode does not have a methodology for fleet sizing. Finally, the current situation of this service affects mainly people living in peripheral areas located far away from workplaces and commerce, and that the regularization of this modality will be beneficial for the canton in general because it will strengthen its productivity and competitiveness. It is recommended in this study to consider regularizing the modality of mixed commercial service, to meet the demand for this service.
