Abstract

The present article explores the properties of the complex network of the Bogota´s bikeway elaborated on its spatial data. The methodological approach of this survey is based on a reticular analysis based on the different spatial measures that are part of the recent field known as the study of complex networks. The results indicate that the cyclists of this system could access through a greater interconnection between lines of this system, to a better bicycle mobility. It concludes a high level of disconnection in the nodes that make up the huge network structured in the simulation. This has as a consequence a possible unbalanced growth, which makes it possible to consider factors such as the low density (or connectivity between nodes and their real relationships with the possible ones) in the structure of the bikeway and to increase the conglomerates in the relation of their nodes.
