- ItemAccesibilidad a equipamientos colectivos según movilidad y modos de transporte en una ciudad media, Los Ángeles, Chile(Universidad Compultense Madrid, 2019) Rojas Quezada, Carolina Alejandra; Martínez Bascuñán, Marcela; De la Fuente Contreras, Helen; Schäfer Faulbaum, Andrés; Aguilera Saéz, Felipe; Fuentes Mella, Gloria; Peyrín Fuentes, Consuelo; Carrasco Montagna Cruz, Juan; CEDEUS (Chile)La relación entre distribución de equipamientos y servicios en sus diferentes ni-veles de accesibilidad según modos de transporte, muestra una serie de patrones espaciales de movilidad en la ciudad de Los Ángeles (Chile). El estudio analiza la accesibilidad a equipamientos colectivos en modos de transporte, mediante una serie indicadores cuantitativos, utilizando análisis de redes. Se emplean datos de viajes en modos de transporte privado, público y caminata, de la encuesta Origen-Destino (2004). Los resultados evidencian diferencias en la accesibilidad entre el centro y periferia de Los Ángeles. De hecho, la población del centro tiene alta acce-sibilidad, concentrando las mayores y mejores oportunidades. En contraste, la po-blación periférica en crecimiento que, en su mayoría, viaja largas distancias para acceder, especialmente en caminata. Este análisis contribuye a discutir sobre las implicancias de las oportunidades y el papel del transporte en la movilidad de ciu-dades medias de Latinoamérica con un centro preponderante.

- ItemAccessibility and the Capabilities Approach: a review of the literature and proposal for conceptual advancements(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021) Vecchio, Giovanni; Martens, Karel; CEDEUS (Chile)The Capability Approach, developed by Sen and Nussbaum, has recently gained increasing attention in the transport literature. This paper adds to this growing body of literature by investigating how the approach can generate consistent evaluative approaches to inform (urban) transport planning. The paper reviews the mobility literature that has investigated the Capabilities Approach and identifies the opportunities and challenges of employing the approach as a basis for transport planning. The review highlights the different, and sometimes patchy, ways in which the key notions of the approach have been conceptualised and operationalised. Discussing this growing but scattered literature, the paper embraces the emerging direction that understands accessibility as the capability that transport planning and policy should consider. Further refining this understanding, the paper proposes a twofold evaluative approach combining a top-down and a bottom-up component to capture the myriad of conversion factors shaping people's accessibility-as-capability and functioning. By systematically adopting the Capabilities Approach, transport planning and mobility policies will be directed to enhancing each person's freedom to pursue the life they have reason to value in contemporary societies.

- ItemBus drivers and their interactions with cyclists: An analysis of minor conflicts(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Mora, Rodrigo; Waintrub Santibanez, Natan; Figueroa-Martinez, Christian; CEDEUS (Chile)Driving a bus in a city is a challenging task as it demands paying attention to changing conditions (e.g., weather, congestion) while interacting with passengers and other road users who sometimes display unpredictable behaviours. Cyclists play an important role in these interactions. This paper investigates how cyclists are perceived by bus drivers and how conflicts arising from their daily interactions shape the attitudes of bus drivers. A total of 639 bus drivers (4% of the workforce, 91% males) working in Santiago de Chile responded an online survey. The survey asked drivers about their perception of other transport modes, their experience with traffic collisions and the conflicts they have had with cyclists. Later, logistic regression models were estimated, using “coexistence with cyclists” as the dependent variable. The findings show that younger and older drivers have a better perception of cyclists compared to middle-aged ones. Negative experiences with cyclists worsen the perception of co-existence with cyclists; meanwhile, previous cycling experience was unrelated to drivers’ perceptions. The results also suggest that existing norms are perceived as ineffective. Finally, gender was not statistically significant in shaping bus drivers’ perception of cyclists, yet this topic requires further attention as the composition of the public transport labour force is changing.

- ItemComparing social costs of public transport networks structured around an Open and Closed BRT corridor in medium sized cities(2020) Proboste Cárdenas,Francisco Javier; Muñoz Abogabir, Juan Carlos; Gschwender Krause, Antonio Enrique; CEDEUS (Chile)Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has proven to be an effective and affordable transportation option for large-sized cities. In these cities, BRT is usually considered an effective complement or substitute for rail-based systems, playing a key role in complex multimodal networks with several massive transport corridors. More recently, medium-sized cities of less than 200,000 inhabitants have also considering implementing BRT as a means of mass transit. These cities usually need only a few of these massive transport corridors (often just one), and they must decide how to structure their services. This report discusses which of the two types of BRT-based networks is best for the social interest in the case of medium-sized cities: (1) Closed BRT, in which buses operating inside and outside the corridor are separated and have different designs, or (2) Open BRT, in which the same buses operate inside and outside the corridor, entering and exiting at different points along a route. To answer this question two models with different levels of detail in terms of a city's characteristics were developed to represent both agency and user costs. In the first model a classic idealized city approach is addressed, while in the second model the problem is solved for the specific geographic characteristics and constraints of a real city. The results based on both models show that when it is optimally configured, Closed BRT networks offer mid-sized cities higher frequencies and lower waiting times. However, these benefits do not offset the cost associated with higher number of transfers that Closed BRT networks require, as compared to Open BRT networks. Transfers not only affect users due to the transferring experience, but also end up making the entire system slower. Overall, Open BRT shows significantly less Total Costs than Closed BRT in most of the scenarios that were analyzed.

- ItemEnabling Mobilities Planning Tools for People and Their Mobilities Preface(Springer, 2019) Pucci, Paola; Vecchio, Giovanni; CEDEUS (Chile)This book investigates how established transport planning tools can evolve to understand and plan for the ever-changing contemporary mobilities that influence the opportunities available to individuals. It discusses existing techniques, revised in the light of the growing interest in the social implications of transport planning decisions: these include analytical tools to interpret consolidated and emerging phenomena, as well as operational tools to tackle new and existing mobility demands and needs. The book then addresses the implications of everyday mobility for individuals and communities. The result of a continuous exchange between the two authors, it brings together the results of their various research projects. Despite referring to different objects and settings, the work presented is connected by an underlying interest in the impact that mobility has on people in an increasingly mobile world, and the need to include such concerns into mobility planning and policy.

- ItemHeadway regularity as an attribute for classifying bus drivers(2024) Martínez-Estupiñan, Yerly; Delgado Breinbauer, Felipe; Muñoz, Juan Carlos; CEDEUS (Chile)Different indices have been proposed in the literature to characterize headway regularity. These metrics aggregate the headway variability for a service, but none can be directly associated with a specific driver. This paper seeks to understand drivers' influence on a service's regularity. To do so, we propose four regularity indices related to a driver's performance and use the Hierarchical Clustering Analysis method to generate a classification of drivers according to their contribution to the headway regularity during the operation of a service. We characterize each class based on the driver's attributes such as age, years of experience as a driver, and years in the bus company, and those attributes associated with the operation, such as number of services per day and period of the day. The results show consistency in the classification obtained, with nearly 90% of drivers remaining in the same regularity classes regardless of the index.
