Modelization of the effects of the increase in the automotive park in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador

Environmental pollution in developed and developing cities caused by vehicles has become a problem of society and public administration. Its effects on climate change and people's health are alarming. In this sense, it is urgent to study the causes of the expansion of the Automotive Park in the Canton Cuenca (Ecuador) and evaluate its effects on the organization of the city, to model its impacts on contribution to decision making from urban planning. This global challenge implies that attention is paid to a diagnosis located in three areas of the city and its periphery to obtain current data from the problem. In turn, the design of an economic model will allow projecting the expansion or contraction of the vehicular fleet as the basis of modeling its effects on the territory. In this context, a quantitative methodological design is proposed with experimental empirical basis, through a plurality of tools and instruments for collection, analysis and processing of data in field with mobility measurement equipment, transport and air, particles and noise pollution; As well as the use of mathematical methods of impact evaluation and urban planning techniques. It aspires that research contributing to the development of an urban model consisting of a didactic approach to virtual visualization of the effects of variations in the automotive park in cities; In addition to the discussion of planning strategies in Cuenca that face the negative effects of its expansion.
