Planning the Insertion of Sustainable Transport Modes Based on an Accessibility Analysis. Case Study: San José Del Guaviare, Colombia

Abstract

This research objective is to determine the impact on the operability of private vehicle transport mode, given the proposed implementation of the new bicycle route, pedestrian a transit network in San Jose del Guaviare (Colombia), with the aim to propose an urban planning instrument for decision-making that promotes the insertion of alternative transport means to a private vehicle. The methodology includes the application of transport infrastructure supply models as an evaluation basis, supported by geographical accessibility, coverage and geospatial impact analyses. The main results show that the proposal for the insertion of alternative modes of transport would be beneficial in terms of providing other mobility options for the inhabitants without deteriorating the current mobility conditions of the private mode. The above result point to the benefits that are shown for the municipality's development and planning to maximize their use by decision-makers.
