Diseño y construcción de un vehículo de tracción humana (VTH) tipo triciclo, como alternativa al transporte urbano en la ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

Vehicular congestion and air pollution are problematic that frame the city of Bogotá and directly affect its inhabitants, which is why this document develops an alternative solution with the design and construction of a human traction vehicle (VTH) type tricycle, from the study and application of technology concepts, which thanks to the human-vehicle interaction allows to establish parameters that make it possible to use: the resistance of materials and static in the elements contained within the VTH to determine critical points , design methodology regarding the organization of the systems that will provide efficiency by combining them offering great performance, mechanisms about the steering and transmission system, dynamics to observe the complete behavior of the VTH together with the moving driver. On the other hand, guarantee the functionality of the VTH as an alternative model to urban transport in Bogotá and be a means of transport that includes populations that the bicycle does not consider, as people with certain types of physical problems. In this way, it seeks to mitigate air pollution, reduce vehicle congestion and provide better health conditions for citizens.
