Planificación Estratégica del Sistema de Transporte Público en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito : modelo para Minimizar el Tiempo de Viaje Promedio de los Pasajeros.

Abstract

In the city of Quito, the planning and optimization of the public transportation system, especially in strategic corridors like the Ecovía and Trolebús, are essential for the daily mobility of its citizens. The city faces significant challenges such as traffic congestion and pollution, which increase the demand for efficient and sustainable public transportation. This study focuses on the application of integer linear programming models for line planning, with the aim to minimize the total travel times of passengers. Additionally, computational experiments are presented using the software OpenLinTim to simulate and evaluate different scenarios in the strategic corridors, on instances created from data provided by the Secretary of Mobility of Quito.
