Trabajo presentado en: R-Evolucionando el transporte, XIV Congreso de Ingeniería del Transporte (CIT 2021), realizado en modalidad online los días 6, 7 y 8 de julio de 2021, organizado por la Universidad de Burgos, This study presents the methodology used by TRANSMILENIO S.A. –the company in charge of managing the BRT lines in Bogotá, Colombia– to renew its operational design. TRANSMILENIO S.A. is increasing its bus fleet by acquiring higher capacity bi-articulated buses. This process demanded a redefinition of the frequencies, stops, and type of bus for all routes in the system. Therefore, a line scheme was selected based on the number of trips between corridors. A non-linear optimization model was then used to establish an initial route design that could satisfy passenger demand in the morning rush hour. Five algorithms were implemented to adjust the initial route design to the actual restrictions, namely, fleet and bus capacity at stops. The algorithms modified the type of bus employed, the defined stops of routes, and eliminated low demand routes. Different alternatives were tested for the execution order of algorithms. The alternative to implement was selected based on compliance of the defined restrictions. Algorithms were iteratively run. Between iterations, a trip assignment model was used to adjust route frequencies based on demand. The execution order of algorithms, its impact on the level of service indicators, and compliance of restrictions are part of this study's discussion. Particular relevance and effects of each algorithm are also analyzed. Both methodology and results might be tested, adapted, and improved in further studies by other BRT systems as a reference or input for their own route design process.

Trabajo presentado en: R-Evolucionando el transporte, XIV Congreso de Ingeniería del Transporte (CIT 2021), realizado en modalidad online los días 6, 7 y 8 de julio de 2021, organizado por la Universidad de Burgos, The pandemic made the transport system administration switch the way decisions were made in topics such as the response speed, resilience to shifts in the demand, and the new policy needs. Therefore, public transport requires monitoring tools, such as dashboards, and an emphasis in user characterization, in addition to traditional modeling and supply-demand indicators historically used by TransMilenio in order to command the operation of the public transport system of Bogotá D.C. This study employed descriptive spatial and statistical analysis to comprehend the relations among the registers of contagion waves, user polls and the boarding information on SITP. Complementarily, the article shows the shifts in the demand towards the regulatory milestones for the pandemic, and how short-term changes in bus supply were made due to these set of regulations. The paper also provides a recap of the international discussion about the occupation, efficiency, and biosecurity of massive public transport systems. The main results for TransMilenio were some supply changes, among others.

El documento contiene información acerca de la implementación de impresión tridimensional en el área Post Venta del sector automotriz, a través de una prueba piloto en aras a demostrar su alcance e impacto. De igual modo la segunda parte del proyecto, indaga sobre la posible transformación que enfrenta la cadena de valor implementando dicha tecnología en el sector, teniendo en cuenta la voz del cliente y de las demás entidades que participan en su entorno.

When it comes to creativity, complicated designs are not always required, we can see how Kenneth has created great real estate products based on creativity in design and innovation in products and materials for manufacturing (such as synthetic rattan), which allow greater durability and moldability in manufacturing. Cuando de creatividad se trata no siempre se requieren diseños complicados, podemos observar como Kenneth ha creado grandes productos inmobiliarios partiendo de la creatividad en el diseño y la innovación en los productos y sus materiales para la fabricación (como es el rattan sintético), que permiten mayor durabilidad y moldeabilidad en la fabricación.
