Modelagem da rede multimodal integrada do transporte público de Fortaleza

Abstract

The planning of transit networks is fundamental to guarantee the universal access and its modeling plays an important role in this process. Within the context of the problematic of the low levels of accessibility and mobility of the population of low income of Fortaleza, the main objective of this work is to model Fortaleza's integrated multimodal transit network. In order to achieve this objective, operational data of the integrated network was analyzed in order to better understand the modeled reality. Then, two transportation network models, TransCAD and Tranus, were analyzed, presenting different approaches, with advantages and limitations of each model being punctuated. Finally, to assess the transit assignment methods, an experiment project was formulated, in which three different levels of congestion and the costs in the network were simulated, and its results, compared. The network was modeled using both techniques and the analysis pointed Tranus' model as more suitable for modeling the network as well as for the assignment of transit trips.
