Caracterización de la red de infraestructura logística como insumo para desarrollar el análisis de transporte en la región central

Abstract

Bogotá and the departments of Boyacá, Tolima, Meta, Huila and Cundinamarca are the departments governed by the special administrative and planning region (RAP-E). Due to the extension of the region and the dynamics of each department, it is of vital importance to know, describe and analyze the networks that make up the transportation and logistics infrastructure in order to promptly address any problems that may eventually arise. The deficiency of road infrastructure reflected in roads in poor condition, insufficient load capacity, high traffic volumes, poor coordination between private companies, government entities, public service providers, among others, hinder the optimal response of control agencies to incidents such as: landslides, accidents, avalanches, etc. Therefore, developing a characterization of the logistics infrastructure network in the central region and analyzing the transportation networks could facilitate strategic planning for future scenarios, improving the interconnectivity between the commercial sectors of the departments, identifying the transportation structure, evaluating its performance and capacity to meet the needs of the region, allowing the identification of costs, loading and unloading capacity, existing infrastructure and traffic flow. Consequently, having all the information systematized will allow the visualization of the elements involved in the logistics infrastructure, such as transportation modes, logistics corridors and specialized logistics facilities.
