Avaliação de impactos da implantação de um binário em vias arteriais com auxílio de microssimulador.

Abstract

Managers from the most diverse spheres of urban planning are concerned about the quality of a city's transportation system because of its impacts on the population's quality of life and economy. To make the right decision, they need information about the effectiveness of interventions, and the transport system is an extremely complex area because of its many variables that are often extremely difficult and expensive to collect in the field. Due to the difficulty of collecting more refined indicators in the field, microsimulation emerges as a modeling tool that achieves the level of accuracy required for such indicators. This paper aims to propose a method for ex-post evaluation of interventions in binary ways transport system on arterial roads. We seek to follow the guidelines of the National Urban Mobility Policy, which is the major law of transport planning in Brazil. We also used the HCM 2010 manual which is a reference of indicators for transportation systems. The work used the VISSIM software and went through microscopic modeling stages where several driver behavior models were calibrated to make the multimodal simulation as believable as possible. All of this has the ultimate objective of evaluating the benefits and harms of such interventions.
