Metodología para la organización operacional del bicitaxismo en Bogotá: caso de estudio Upz 44 Américas

Abstract

Over time, urban mobility has presented challenges to provide a better quality of transportation to users. The city of Bogotá presents a variety of mass and individual transportation systems where in the last decade the focus has been on improving bicycle transportation, including bicycle taxis. This document presents the operational problems of bicycle taxis through a case study of the UPZ 44 Americas. This means of transport is informal, however, it is very popular in different cities, thus solving mobility problems for the first and last mile of densified sectors and peripheral areas due to lack of urban transport. A strict literature review is carried out in order to identify its operability in other parts of the world and thus be able to establish and focus the problem to be studied. The methodology, the field results, the analysis of the parameters of the methodology, the application of these parameters to the route assignment model within the UPZ 44 Americas and the discussion of the results are presented.
