Anteproyecto de Terminal Intermodal Sur de Cuenca. Caso de estudio Narancay

Abstract

Creating an intermodal terminal benefits the connectivity between mobility and commerce in the city, forming part of an organized and efficient transportation system for passengers traveling within and outside the province of Azuay. Thus, this paper proposes a blueprint for a new intermodal terminal in Cuenca, enhancing land transportation in the province through the design of new infrastructures that help to meet the needs of the high demand of passengers and transportation units. A study of the area is conducted to achieve this objective through a detailed analysis of Laura Gallardo to locate the area of the infrastructure. International benchmark studies are also being analyzed to learn how mobility works in other terminals.This will provide ideas and information for developing a new terminal in Narancay –the chosen site for Cuenca’s new terrestrial intermodal terminal–. Therefore, the transportation system will be improved, order and safety for passengers will be recovered, and an adequate distribution of transport units will be provided. Undoubtedly, the southern intermodal terminal will represent an essential urban advancement in the mobility system in the province and the city.
