Modelo para planejamento de sistemas integrados de transporte com corredores de alta capacidade

Abstract

The investments’ choice for urban public transport projects, as established by the Brazilian law that establishes the Guidelines for an Urban Mobility Policy, should focus on the reduction of negative impacts generated by years of priority for infrastructure building for cars. Thus, it is essential to implement the integration between different modes, connecting the lower capacity lines to high-capacity corridors, providing a higher level of service and reliability in public transport systems. Increasing the reliability of public transport can improve the system’s attractiveness, leading to better use of allocated resources, replacement of individual motorized transport trips and attraction of new users. The present research proposes a methodology focused on the planning of integrated transport systems with high-capacity corridors. These procedures can be used for the formulation and ranking of alternatives contemplating performance constraints and the strategic goals defined in urban mobility plans. The study was based on the review of planning models aimed at improving accessibility and mobility and how they define indicators of efficiency and effectiveness of interventions. Considering the capacity of the corridor in the definition of the supply-demand balance of the integrated system, criteria were established for the choice of alternatives to be implemented, providing a good decision making about the redesign of feeder lines.
