Estudio de factibilidad para la reestructuración del sistema de transporte colectivo de la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo

Abstract

The objective of this degree project called "Feasibility Study for the Restructuring of the Collective Transportation System of Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo" is to enhance the institutional transportation system, so that people from the institution can use it in such a way that the use of private and commercial vehicles is reduced to a great extent which will generate better internal mobility. For this purpose, a sample design of 1973 respondents was used, which allowed us identifying the areas of greatest affluence and demand to establish new routes. ESPOCH's free public transportation service is underused mainly due to the lack of socialization of its operation. The current transportation routes operate simultaneously on the same route, with a time interval of 10 minutes. After gathering information, it was identified that these routes do not cover strategic areas of demand, so they were redesigned. Pedro Vicente Maldonado Avenue Access A and Canónigo Ramos Avenue Access B were considered as points of origin of the new routes, the fleet required for each route and the intervals for the establishment of new schedules were also sized. Besides, a campaign was designed to socialize and promote the collective transportation system. Therefore, it is concluded that after restructuring the public transportation system, better mobility will be generated within the polytechnic campus. It is recommended that this document be used as a repository of information for future research.
