The lack of inclusion of pedestrians as users of non-motor vehicles makes it difficult for them to flow smoothly and safely, since the city has been planned for the transit of motor vehicles. Faced with the new trend for sustainable and economic transport, the city is forced to develop infrastructure in order to incorporate pedestrians and users of non-motorized vehicles into the transport system. The objective of this research is to optimize pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle movement on Arequipa Avenue, interrupted by vehicular infrastructure between blocks 25 and 29, by redesigning the infrastructure. The evaluation is of the microscopic type, for this reason the field data was collected such as vehicular, pedestrian demand and from users of non-motor vehicles, as well as the geometry of the public space where the mentioned ones transit and identify the damages of the vehicular infrastructure in it. With the values of travel time, speed and roads that intervene throughout the public space, the current scenario that contains existing problems is represented. This data allow to create a microsimulation model in Vissim and VisWalk software, which is calibrated and validated so that this model has a behavior that is as close to reality as possible. The improvement proposal consists of a geometric redesign of the linear public space, optimization of the traffic light cycle, as well as changes in the mentioned intersection. The chosen efficiency parameters are the queue length, the travel speed and mainly the travel times of the users of this linear public space. The results conclude an improvement in the times and speeds of the cyclists by 40% and 20%, respectively, that is, users of non-motor vehicles and pedestrians can be included in a high-demand intersection. Likewise, an optimization of the traffic signal cycle and its benefit in reducing the length of vehicle queues that guarantee the efficiency of the proposed model with a percentage reduction of 8.57%, 16.2% and 12.74% respectively for the different avenues examined in this investigation.
