Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de alternativas de transporte sostenible en la ciudad de Puyo, provincia de Pastaza

Abstract

This "Feasibility Study for the Implementation of Sustainable Transportation Alternatives in Puyo city, Pastaza province" aimed to find new mobility alternatives that contribute to the city's sustainable development, reducing vehicular chaos and gas emissions. (CO2) produced by the automotive fleet. The research focused on a sample of 366 surveys. In addition, other tools such as observation forms to analyse and meet the needs of the inhabitants were necessary. The technical support to develop this proposal was The Ecuadorian Technical Regulation RTE INEN 004, whereas the four-stage model was the support to implement the transport system. This model led to information about the generation of trips, distribution, modal partition, and allocation. In the allocation stage, it was possible to analyse the geometrical and technical characteristics of the roads. The different equipment was taken as the main points for parking and charging scooters and electric bicycles. This work was carried out in ArcGIS with the support of AutoCAD of the map of the city of Puyo. Likewise, the vertical and horizontal signage was determined to guarantee the safety of the different users of the system. To conclude, the Feasibility study was carried out to reduce gas emissions associated with the burning of fossil fuels and the need to seek sustainable transportation alternatives and reduce environmental pollution. Therefore, it is recommended to implement the research project since Puyo; an ecological and environmentally friendly city can improve its mobility through scooters and electric bicycles by placing a network of bicycle lanes that benefits the active mobility of the population contributing to sustainable development.
