Análisis de la movilidad, en la elaboración de una propuesta red vial en ciclo-rutas en la localidad de Usme - Bogotá, la cual permita establecer una interconectividad vial desde la Calle 91 Sur con Carrera 14 (Caracas) hasta la Calle 91 con Carrera 2 (AV. Villavicencio)

Abstract

Bicycle is one of the oldest artifacts of human invention for mobility. Starting in the 19th century, Germany had its first built model. Without a doubt, this invention would lead to a long trajectory of mobility in rural and urban areas around the world. Today in the 21st century, the bycicle is a fundamental part of peoples’ life both in rural and urban areas to move from one place to another. People can use it for going to work,to study or to save money. This sustainable mobilization method generates a great impact in society and the environment. This is due to the fact that this artifact doesn’t generate polluting emissions (carbon monoxide and dioxide) like other transportation systems do. In urban areas, the Bycicle provides a lot of benefits for peoples mobility during high traffic hours due to the fact that it takes less time compared to motorized vehicles .Also, the bicycle can move a lot easier throught the streets and it helps improve a person’s health and their budget. Taking into account that bicycles requiere a small space for mobility, the city of Bogota created a permanent plan for exclusive bikeways and bike lanes to improve mobility in the city. This proyect named “create city” created by city hall authorized construction of approximately 344km of exclusive bicycle lanes in the 90’s (IDU, 2004). Althought Bogotá is one of the cities with the highest amount of bikeways distributed throught-out the city, some of these bikeways aren’t connected between one another which limits mobility. Contemplating this issue,this document provides a geometric interconnection lane design between two important bikeways in Bogotá. This will generate a continuity for the actual bikeway path.
