Metodologia de calibração para modelos integrados dos transportes e uso do solo

Abstract

Integrated urban planning requires the modeling of relation between the activity, land use and transport subsystems. Several integrated models have been developed in recent decades, what allows identifying the conceptual approach and the modeling structure that fits to the purposes of the planning process and to the specificities of the urban phenomenon being analyzed. In this masters research, which the general goal is to develop a calibration methodology for integrated models of transport and land use, the computational package TRANUS presents itself as an appropriate platform for the conceptual and operational modeling for the necessary indicators to the characterization and diagnostic of accessibility and urban mobility. Among the indicators considered, some might be represented by values acquired directly in field, while others are performance measures which results from the simulation models, there are still those which might be quantified by models parameters. Therefore, the modeling of these indicators requires considerable parameters calibration effort of the mathematical and computational models that compose TRANUS, adjusting them to the specificities of the local reality. The proposed method has its applicability tested in Fortaleza City.
