Estudio técnico de factibilidad para la implementación de un sistema de transporte masivo en la ciudad de Riobamba periodo 2022-2023

Abstract

The study consisted of preparing a technical feasibility study for the implementation of a Mass Transportation System in Riobamba city, which was focused on analyzing the current situation of mass transportation, identifying the technical aspects involved in the study. The research had a mixed approach in which the descriptive and analytical aspects were taken into account, with a non-experimental design, since fieldwork type data was collected. For this purpose, surveys were conducted among 384 inhabitants of the city to determine the route for the system, covering the urban area by means of a radial route that runs along the entire ring road and certain primary and state roads located in the city; Furthermore, an interview was conducted with the authorities of the GAD of Riobamba (Mobility), who are in charge of controlling the urban public transportation systems. Based on the use of the observation sheet, the technical aspects that the road infrastructure should comply with were determined, being these unfavorable for the implementation of mass transportation due to the recommended road width to be complied with, the dimensions of the different terminals, and the obstacles that exist on these roads. Undoubtedly, the city has a prosperous growth which will require the implementation of mass transportation systems, with which it will be possible to reduce vehicular congestion, environmental pollution and insecurity, for which it is advisable to plan roads suitable for these transportation systems that are sustainable and efficient.
