Modelo de classificação de rotas do transporte de cargas em meio urbano: análise de riscos sobre a geração de emissões de poluentes atmosféricos

Abstract

One of the main challenges of the transport sector is to combine its activities with commitment and responsibility for health, well-being, quality of life for the population and environmental preservation. This is due to the fact that cargo transport is one of the main causes of emissions of atmospheric pollutants in the urban environment, especially particulate matter (PM), and carbon dioxide (CO2), in addition to fuel consumption. This work proposes to classify the sections that make up the routes of an operation in Urban Cargo Transport - TUC regarding their criticality related to the generation of emissions of atmospheric pollutants. For this, a research was carried out in the literature to identify the main parameters used in the application models, focused on the themes of green logistics and routes in the TUC. In addition to this, a survey was carried out on the main characteristics of the TUC and the urban environment related to pollutant emissions. A classification model for the critical stretches on the TUC routes was then proposed, related to their potential to generate pollutant emissions. The model was applied to a hypothetical case of routes, using a real database. The real characteristics of the sections on the route were considered, analyzed by means of a risk matrix model proposal. To validate the result, the application of the entropy concept adapted to the sections under analysis was carried out, which evaluates the influence that the use and use of the land around the section exerts on the occurrence of displacements in the section. When comparing the two applications – emission risk matrix and critical sections, guided by the entropy in the section – it was possible to observe convergent results, showing that there is a basis for the relationship under study and potential for applicability.
