Avaliando os benefícios de intervenções viárias nas rotas de transporte coletivo com o auxílio do simulador integration

Abstract

In this paper, the traffic simulator INTEGRATION was used with the objective of evaluating the benefits of implementing a double street corridor in Fortaleza’s most dense region, based on the simulation of alternative routes to access the bus terminal located close to the study area, as well as analyzing the travel time sensibility of other transit routes which passes through this region. The analysis methodology involved the calibration and validation of the simulated network, based on the variables modeled by SCOOT, a real time traffic signal control system, allowing the use of the measures of effectiveness produced by the computational simulation to establish the most favorable scenario to public transit users.
