Abstract

The ongoing economic and social transformations in urban spaces have raised the attention of policymakers and planners in favor of non-motorized transport, such as pedestrians. In Latin America, the traditional planning takes into account those most influential aspects of transport systems, usually measured in terms of economic impact and, through the years, directed efforts to improve motorized transport systems and its infrastructure in most urban centers. In general, urban transport planning has aimed at building infrastructure and specific pedestrian features and its internal dynamics are not considered. Therefore, this study aims at presenting a model of collective intelligence based on system dynamics that allows represent the features relationships within the pedestrian system of Bogotá, at different levels of decision, integrating databases, aiming at a systemic analysis for decision-making. The methodology used for the research was descriptive and case study, based on bibliographic, documental and fieldwork investigation. The main result of the study is the design of a prototype meta-model proposing a methodology for planning pedestrian system, based on the development of collective intelligence, recognizing human interaction, that can be adopted by transport planners.
