Abstract

Urban mobility in the Metropolitan Area of Mendoza, Argentina, faces various challenges, such as traffic congestion, pollution, lack of infrastructure for public transportation and sustainable mobility options, urban growth, and decreased quality of life.

The study considered the Modal Partition, the trips made according to the mode of transport used, using data from 4 Origin-Destination Surveys carried out between 1986 and 2010. Subsequently, different groupings of modes of transport were analyzed according to: motorization, capacity and service.

The results indicated that 84.40% of the trips made between 1986 and 2010 were motorized. In addition, there was an increase in individual trips and a decrease in collective trips. Cycling and walking also played an important role in the mobility of the city, although to a lesser extent. In the future, it is essential to establish a relationship between the trend of dispersed urban growth and mobility needs, in addition to improving current regulations. This will allow sustainable planning that promotes the integration of mobility. It is expected to provide valuable information to develop effective strategies that address urban mobility, with the aim of contributing to a more livable and sustainable city
