Ciclomap, una Aplicación Móvil para el Fácil Recorrido en Bicicleta en la Ciudad de Bogotá D.C

Abstract

In recent years due to poor road infrastructure and population growth, mobilization in the city of Bogotá has become a difficulty for citizens who every day need to move to their jobs, places of study and homes because the travel times get longer and the quality of life decreases. Therefore, many inhabitants have chosen to use the bicycle as a means of transport due to its economy, ease of use, comfort and in some cases decrease in travel times; This change regarding the use of bicycles is evidenced in people of different strata, ages and genders, which indicates that the problem of mobility is reflected throughout the city and that there is not spatial pattern that defines it. Thinking about the need of the users, the mobile application CicloMap is created for Android and iOS operating systems that allows the user to calculate the optimal route and visualize: the network of cycle paths connected in sections to alternative routes, cycloparks located in different places of the city of Bogota and security alerts reported by the victims during the last two years, this information allows the user to plan their journey taking into account the type of road to travel and the characteristics of the area.
