Abstract (Spanish)
El modelo de alianza público-privada en Colombia ha sido el principal vehículo para promover el desarrollo de la infraestructura de transporte durante los últimos 20 años. Actualmente, el gobierno nacional está desarrollando el Cuarto Programa de Vías Públicas Privadas (4G) con una inversión total de COP $ 53B (US $ 26.530) en 2013 y una longitud total promedio de 7.601 km (4.723 mi). En el desarrollo de este trabajo se cuantificará cómo los proyectos 4G cambiarán la accesibilidad, los costes del transporte de mercancías y la cohesión territorial en un escenario futuro cuando se complete la red de carreteras. Este objetivo se apoyará en la creación de un diseño de base de datos en el sistema de información geográfica, teniendo en cuenta las características económicas y técnicas para evaluar la accesibilidad y una función de costo de transporte generalizado (GTC) en cada enlace que cubra toda la red. carretera, así como el producto interno (PIB) en cada región del proyecto. En consecuencia, es importante señalar que los proyectos 4G representarán un cambio importante e impacto positivo en las variables de los corredores de la red vial nacional. Si bien los resultados muestran que algunas regiones recibirán beneficios, esta investigación también muestra que algunas regiones no presentarán cambios en accesibilidad, GTC y cohesión territorial porque los corredores 4G no cubren todo el país, pero las ventajas en algunas regiones incentivarán la competitividad de el país, eso no podría ser una realidad sin el apoyo de la participación privada. Finalmente, esta investigación proporciona suficiente información para delinear un nuevo programa que podría mejorar la accesibilidad, GTC y el PIB en las regiones.
Abstract (English)
The public private partnership model in Colombia has been the main vehicle to promote the development of transportation infrastructure during the last 20 years. Currently, the national government is developing the Fourth Public Private Partnership Road Program (4G) with a total investment of COP$53B (US$26,530) in 2013 and an average total length of 7,601 km (4,723 mi). In the development of this paper it will be quantified how 4G projects will change accessibility, goods transportation costs, and territorial cohesion in a future scenario when the road network will be finished. This goal will be supported by the creation of a database design in the geographic information system taking into account economic and technical characteristics to evaluate the accessibility and a generalized transport cost function (GTC) in each link covering the whole road network, as well as gross domestic product (GDP) in each project region. As a result, it is important to note that 4G projects will represent an important change and positive impact in variables of corridors in the national road network. Even if the results show that some regions will receive benefits, this research also shows that some regions will not present changes in accessibility, GTC, and territorial cohesion because the 4G corridors do not cover the whole country, but the advantages in some regions will encourage the country’s competitiveness, which could not be reality without the support of private participation. Finally, this research provides enough insight to outline a new program that could enhance accessibility, GTC, and GDP in the regions.
