Análise do desempenho operacional do transporte público interno do Campus do Pici

Abstract

This sheet is about the analysis of the operational performance of the PiciCampus internal public transport with the use of traffic microsimulation tools. Many students are not satisfied with the use of this mode of transportation, and the distance between campus entrances and classrooms is large, which makes walking tough. A literature review was important because it helpedto identify some characteristics inherent to public transport in general, such as performance measures normally evaluated in this mode. The planning method was divided into four stages: problem identification, problem characterization, problem diagnosis and evaluation of alternatives with the use of VISSIM, microsimulation software. The results startedwith the contextualization of the studied areaand the composition ofthetree, with problems reported by users. Then, bus evaluation parameters werechosen, with the purpose of defining indicators for the study. After field data collection and choice of problems to betackled, improvement scenarios were proposed. Average delay, headway, travel time and costs were all important factors in choosing the most viable alternative. With VISSIM, it waspossible to choose the best scenario from the current one, the one with fleet change and the one with change of route.
