Comparative Study of Transport Conditions for Cargo between the Member Countries of the Pacific Alliance

Abstract:
This article discusses general aspects associated with the strategic conditions for inland transport within the countries of the Pacific Alliance.
The article compares transport infrastructure, investment and competitiveness. It considers a multiplicity of variables that can define, to some extent, the level of readiness and capacity of each country to attend the land transit of goods. The results obtained suggest that Mexico is the country with the highest level of readiness given their current conditions of land transport. A standardisation method for each variable makes the data uniform on a scale of one to five and supports the findings.

Resumen:
Este artículo analiza aspectos generales estratégicos asociados a las condiciones de transporte terrestre dentro de los países de la Alianza del Pacífico.
En este sentido, son comparados factores infraestructura de transporte, de inversión y de competitividad. Asimismo, se consideran una multiplicidad de variables que pueden definir en cierto modo el nivel de preparación y de capacidad de cada país para atender el tránsito terrestre de mercancías. Tras la aplicación de un método de normalización para cada variable además de hacer uniformes los datos en una escala de uno a cinco; los resultados obtenidos sugieren que México es el país con mayor nivel de preparación dadas sus actuales condiciones de transporte terrestre.
