Estudio para la implementación de plataforma única de accesibilidad a la movilidad universal para lugares de concentración masiva, caso Riobamba

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was the implementation of a Unique Platform of Accessibility to Universal Mobility, which would be proposed for the areas of mass concentration of Riobamba city. The technical study has been carried out by the application of instruments such as closed surveys focused on the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, and the availability they have when moving in the city centre. Other instruments include observation forms containing important parameters about the infrastructure of the road, sidewalk and carriageway detailing measures, widths, and heights currently existing and that must be analysed. The research methods established, are useful to analyse, evaluate and set a proposal able to improve the conditions that lead to accessible mobility by replanning the infrastructure to provide a vital, safe, sustainable, and healthy city with active and walkable streets in a pleasant urban environment of coexistence. In conclusion, this study has been carried out to determine the factors that currently hinder or segregate the different users of the road, to propose a restructuring that eliminates all the architectural barriers that make difficult their free transit by using standards, techniques, and manuals contributing to the improvement of mass concentration areas in Riobamba city.
