Implementación de las nuevas rutas, ubicadas al sur de la ciudad de Quito, con las paradas Morán Valverde, Solanda y Cardenal de la Torre del metro de Quito, a través del transporte público centralizado del Consorcio Sur Occidental

Abstract

This research focuses on the analysis of the routes R5, R9, R10, R15 and R17 of the Consorcio Sur Occidental, identifying the needs of users and operators in order to establish routes according to their demand. The case study was carried out on the basis of observation techniques such as surveys and recordings, in addition to counting units and passengers. The results obtained from the cycles and time intervals performed by each unit allowed the development of an efficient system to improve the management and operation of the Consorcio Sur Occidental, linking its routes to the Morán Valverde, Solanda and Cardenal de la Torre stations of the Metro Quito. The modification of the routes was evaluated on the basis of two criteria: the benefit to the users at the time of transport and the availability of the units, without affecting the fares maintained by the Consortium. By modifying the routes, it has been possible to reduce the mobilization and waiting times of users, as well as the daily kilometers traveled by each unit, connecting passengers to the Metro Quito in an efficient manner, without harming the other operators, and at the same time paving the way for a possible association of the Consorcio Sur Occidental with the Metro Quito.
