Implementación de alimentación de usuarios a través de frecuencias y rutas dentro de un sistema de transporte intermodal a la parada Seminario Mayor, por medio de las unidades del Consorcio Sur Occidental

Abstract

This research work, “Implementation of feeding users through frequencies and routes within an intermodal transport system to the Seminario Mayor bus stop, using the units of Consorcio Sur Occidental,” arises because of the arrival of the Quito Metro that has generated a demand for passengers who need to make use of this means of transport, however, due to the shortage of routes in the northern sector of Quito that connect with the Seminario Mayor bus stop, there is the presence of clandestine cabs which provide the same service as the units belonging to the C. S.W. but at an excessive fare, which affects the pockets of the users. For this reason, an analysis has been made based on the number of users who demand the service, the availability of units, and the fares. In order to generate an alternative to the previously stated problem, the creation of new routes has been proposed by means of surveys and manual counts. In addition, routes will be optimized to generate a reduction of the fleet and obtain a lower fare than the current one due to the presence of routes that share the same route and also due to the reduction of the route of each of the proposed routes, given that the Seminario Mayor station will be the starting point to the different destinations of each route. Continuing with this evaluation, Consorcio Sur Occidental intends to connect the new routes that arrive at the Seminario Mayor station in order to generate a link for the users, which will be integrated to the closest stop of Metro de Quito, forming an alliance between these means of transportation and maintaining the transportation service to the users of the northwest of Quito.
