Propuesta de un terminal de transporte, categoría IV, en el municipio de Socorro, Santander

Abstract

Design a category IV transportation terminal under functional and formal standards that improve and comply with the regulations for this facility in the municipality of Socorro (Santander). The current terminal only has reduced and not very functional spaces that limit its operability and functionality, due to an obsolete architectural design that is more than 25 years old, which in turn limits its reception capacity and causes conflicts in the mobility of the population due to its critical location on an arterial road that connects Bucaramanga with Bogota, a position that in turn generates immediate conflicts in the municipal capital. These problems are not only related to mobility issues, but are also linked to the demands imposed by the significant growth that the municipality of Socorro has witnessed in recent years in terms of tourism and socioeconomic exchanges. The analysis of the specific environment is of great importance, since it allowed us to define the number of users for the transport terminal and also its type. All transport terminals worldwide should have as a central focus the embarkation and disembarkation area. The system of order in circulations is very efficient, thanks to the location of the fixed points. The municipality of Socorro needs a category IV transport terminal.
