Daily mobility patterns and costs 2019 in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua

ABSTRACT

This research presents the daily mobility patterns during 2019 in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. Due to the lack of recent and available information, origin-destination surveys, traditional statistics and Dijkstra's algorithm using Geographic Information Systems, to analyze displacements throughout the urban area divided into 64 polygons. Descriptive patterns at the urban scale were determined from variables such as distances and times of each trip, origin and destination places, schedules, reasons, types of transportation, expenditure and household income. The results show the areas with the highest demand for mobility, as well as the preferences and costs involved in moving within the city before the mobility restrictions caused by COVID-19 and the construction of new continuous vehicular mobility projects, bike routes and a second BRT line.
