Proposal of a Model that Allows to Improve the Behavior of the Passenger Flow Inside the TransMilenio Stations
Keywords:
BRT Station, mass transport system, passenger flow, TransMilenio, capacity.Abstract
This study has been carried out with the purpose of qualitatively measuring and proposing aspects that are affecting the behavior of the flow of passengers within the massive transport system in Bogota, taking as reference in-situ samples and information provided by the company TRANSMILENIO S.A. for Calle 76 station. These factors correspond to turnstiles, ticket offices, reorganization of bus routes, operation of buses and distribution of passengers throughout the station, since the capacity of the Caracas corridor exceeds the passengers per hour per direction in peak hour that different metro systems around the world mobilize, unlike TransMilenio has BRT bus infrastructure and no metro infrastructure.
