Análise da problemática do transporte a pé no campus do pici da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

Modern and sustainable urban mobility calls for an increasingly multimodal character, which gives greater importance to users of active modes of transport, especially pedestrians. Issues related to sustainable mobility in displacement has shown an increasing interest in academia and public policy issues related to urban design and the built environment, as well as measures to reduce the disadvantages caused by intense urban traffic, to bring more accessibility to pedestrians and other users. In this context, there are university campuses, which reflect the reality of large urban centers, and therefore also need studies and alternatives for improvements in transportation systems. Based on this, the main objective of this work is to analyze the problem of walking on Campus do Pici, of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), through the steps of characterization and diagnosis of the main problems raised with the system actors. From this analysis, it was possible to obtain indicators to represent the identified problems, using variables proposed according to the walkability index evaluation method. This assessment provided a detailed characterization of the walkable sections of the campus, making possible a more adequate analysis of the problem. Moreover, this work was important to identify the most critical problems faced by users, which the main one is related to road safety. Based on this, we sought to analyze an intervention proposal related to the implementation of a high crossing at a critical point for pedestrian crossing and to evaluate its impact on local traffic. Finally, it was concluded that this analysis can enhance improvements in sustainable university mobility
