Abstract

The objective of this degree work was to provide a geo-information system for the updating and operation of the Trolleybus transportation system of Quito Metropolitan Public Transportation Company, applying the use of ArcGIS Software, in order to collect geographical points by means of the GPS tool in each of the stops and stations of the Trolleybus Corridor and their respective feeders in which the point (x; y) of the geographical coordinates (UTM) was reflected, to identify each of the characteristics (attributes). The information gathering was carried out through an interview with the entity's Operations Specialist, a perception survey of the trolleybus users, and an information gathering sheet to know the current situation of the geo-information provided by the institution. , through which the required information was obtained to establish the geo-information in the ArcGIS software designed with characteristics such as the name of each stop or station, transfer terminal, transfer point, double direction stop, one direction stops, the capacity of the stop or station, zoning, INEC code, parish stop area, geo-code, horizontal signage, vertical signage, SIA, SAE, SIR, security guard, and observations. It is concluded that with the obtained database in the ArcGIS software, two Geodatabases have been formed; the first called Feeders, which is made up of 13 routes, and the second called corridors, in which 5 layers of polygons corresponding to the Trolleybus transport system by circuits are displayed. It is recommended that the company creates the area of operations and infrastructure to use the geo-information system, in this way supply the database, keep it updated and thus not resort to external institutions.
