Propuesta de sistema de transporte urbano multimodal con enfoque logístico y uso de vehículos ecológicos en la ciudad de Guayaquil

Abstract

Abstract: This research presents a multimodal urban transport proposal with a logistics focus and the use of eco-friendly vehicles for the city of Guayaquil. The proposal is based on an analysis of mobility, urban logistics, and the incorporation of clean technologies in the city. The analysis identified problems such as the limited integration between different transport systems, traffic congestion, limitations in public transport, confusion in the distribution of goods in cities, and the lack of infrastructure for active mobility. Based on these findings, a conceptual model was created that integrates sustainable last-mile logistics, electrified public transport, active mobility, micromobility, and the use of smart technologies to manage the system. The proposal aims to improve the urban system, reduce polluting emissions, optimize freight flows, and increase access through multimodal corridors, microhubs in urban areas, ITS platforms, and eco-friendly fleets. This study provides a technical and conceptual foundation that can guide subsequent planning and implementation phases toward more sustainable mobility for Guayaquil.
