Thesis: S.M. in Engineering and Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, May, 2020 / Cataloged from the official version of thesis. / Includes bibliographical references (pages 44-46). / This is a last-mile mobility business model for developing countries. It analyzes current innovation and trends in rideshare and last-mile transportation. It states the challenges of transportation systems in our urban ecosystems, as well as the intimate relationship between transportation and energy demand, energy sources, and environmental impact. This thesis mimics a pilot case study in Bogota, Colombia, a city with tremendous mobility challenges, high unemployment, and robust bicycle infrastructure; characteristics that multiple cities in Latin America have in common. Finally, it proposes a last-mile transportation system that is sustainable, efficient, and inclusive with a concept vehicle and an innovation strategy. / by Jairo Ernesto Rodriguez Tovar. / S.M. in Engineering and Management / S.M.inEngineeringandManagement Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program
