However, the low capacity at the stations and the high demand of the system increases the respiratory diseases risk caused by the interaction between pedestrians. This article proposes to make the main access point an entrance only and the access point at the opposite end of the platform an exit only, allowing one-way walking paths. This research is focused on the reduction of conflict points between pedestrians generated by walking flows in opposite directions. A BRT station located in the city of Lima was used as a case study for the investigation. It was identified for the peak hour that the area with the highest pedestrian interaction occurs in the station platform and boarding areas. The efficiency of the proposal is validated by using the Viswalk software. The results obtained show that the conflict points decreased by 68.5% and the pedestrian density by 45%. From that perspective, the pedestrian flows were optimized, and the risk of respiratory diseases was reduced.

This causes problems of pedestrian crowding in public places. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system called Metropolitano transports 650,000 passengers a day, of which 81,800 of them use the boarding platform of the Naranjal station located in one of the most populated districts of Lima. In this station are concentrated 12.6% users of the entire transportation system. This research proposes a pedestrian microsimulation model with the objective of optimizing the pedestrian area of one of the most demanded platforms in Lima, considering the security protocols established by the Covid-19 Pandemic. To obtain results, the parameters of pedestrian density, bus frequency and queuing time were considered. The effectiveness of the proposed design is validated using a model made with the software Vissim. The results showed that the maximum number of pedestrians that can occupy the Naranjal station following the Covid-19 security protocols are 4166 persons, considering a 180 second bus frequency on lines with the highest demand and a maximum queuing time of 764.51 seconds.

One major problem, worldwide, is using fixed time traffic light as a traffic regulator at intersections with high pedestrian and vehicular volume. Lima is no exception, continuing to use this kind of traffic lights completely harms pedestrian accessibility, it increases their waiting and crossing times, it also affects road safety and service levels at the structures. The proposal on this article is to design a fully actuated signal control using logical controls that are able to perceive the pedestrian density on the refuge islands, making everything more accessible. In order to do this, a study to identify the pedestrian and vehicle volume was conducted on the Lima Panamerican highway. There was a total of 7506 pedestrians during rush hour, proving there is a large amount of people at the intersection at that time. Thereby, by using the VisVap module of the Vissim, the study managed to simulate and validate the priority control required. All in all, the results showed a remarkable improvement, the pedestrian crossing time was reduced by 6.84% and the service level of the intersection went from E to D.

El sistema Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) es uno de los modos de transporte más demandados en los últimos años. Este sistema de transporte cuenta con estaciones para los usuarios y múltiples líneas de buses en una determinada ciudad. Sin embargo, el desorden en el recorrido de los usuarios a lo largo de la estación y la alta densidad e interacción peatonal generan largos tiempos de espera para los usuarios desde que entran a la estación hasta su embarco al bus. La presente investigación propone una gestión de la movilidad peatonal, la cual mediante la canalización de flujos peatonales y adaptación de entradas y salidas de la estación tiene por objetivo principal reducir los tiempos de espera de los usuarios dentro de la estación. Se realizó visitas a una estación de BRT en la ciudad de Lima para medir los tiempos de espera de los usuarios dentro de esta. La recolección de información nos permitió establecer el horario de más concurrencia peatonal y demostrar que los usuarios pueden demorar más tiempo dentro de la estación que en el bus. La propuesta fue simulada en el software Vissim para poder determinar su eficiencia. Los resultados muestran que se redujo los tiempos de espera de los usuarios dentro de la estación en un 25%. Por otro lado, el valor de la densidad peatonal y los puntos de conflicto entre peatones disminuyeron en un 44% y 73% respectivamente. Finalmente se obtuvo un aumento en la velocidad peatonal de los corredores en un 37%. / The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a bus-based public transport system that increase the effectiveness of public transportation through dedicated lanes with busways and independent stations. However, the pedestrian routes disorder at the station, the high density and the interaction between pedestrians produce high waiting times since the entrance at the station until the board at the bus. The present research proposes a management of pedestrian mobility focused on modify the pedestrian routes and adapting the entrance and exit of the station. The main objective of the investigation is reducing the waiting times of users at the station. Users waiting times at the station were measured by visiting a BRT station located in the city of Lima. The collection of information makes it possible to establish the peak pedestrian traffic hours and demonstrate that users can spend more time at the station than on the bus. The improvement proposal was simulated in Vissim software in order to determine its reducing waiting times efficiency. The results show that users waiting times at the station were reduced by 25%. On the other hand, the pedestrian density and conflict points between pedestrians decreased by 44% and 73% respectively. Finally, increase in the pedestrian velocity of the corridors was obtained by 37%. / Tesis
