Transportation systems are very important in every city. Natural disasters like hurricanes and floods can destroy roads and inundate metro tunnels that can cause problems for mobility. Ecological systems like forests are very resilient because they have experienced disturbances like natural disasters for millions of years. Ecological systems and transportation systems are very similar; for example, both have different components (different species in an ecological system and different modes in a transportation system). Because of such similarities, we can learn from ecological resilience to improve transportation resilience. Having a variety of species in an ecological system makes it diverse. Diversity is the most important factor in ecological resilience, and it is also recognized as an important factor in transportation resilience. Current methods cannot effectively quantify transportation diversity – the variety of modes in a system – so determining its impact on transportation resilience remains a challenge. In this dissertation, principles of ecological diversity are adapted to characterize transportation infrastructure to develop a new approach to measure transportation diversity; metrics include the availability of transportation modes and their distribution in a community. The developed approach was applied in New York City (NYC) at the zip code level. Locations with low transportation diversity (fewer modes and/or unequal distribution) were identified, and most of these zip codes are located in hurricane evacuation zones. Consequently, these zip codes with the least diverse transportation systems are the most vulnerable, which can cause serious issues during emergency evacuations and the ability of people to access work or essential services. Therefore, in a city hit by a natural disaster, understanding the relationship between people's mobility and a transportation system's diversity is important. Twitter data was used to find the places that people in NYC visited regularly for one month before and one month after Hurricane Sandy. Subsequently, using different methods, the pre- and post-disaster mobility patterns of these individuals were characterized. The results show that after the disaster, individuals had a higher chance of maintaining their pre-disaster mobility patterns if they were living in and/or visiting areas with high transportation diversity. Based on these findings, we confirmed the influence of transportation diversity on post-disaster mobility. In addition, the transportation infrastructure should provide equitable service to all individuals, during normal operations and extreme events. One of the ways to determine this equality is equity of access to transportation modes. Hence, transportation diversity was used as an indicator for equity of access to transportation modes to overcome the limitations of current methods like catchment area approaches. NYC zip codes were grouped based on their transportation diversity and a set of important socioeconomic and transport related factors were compared among these groups. The comparison of socioeconomic and transport related factors in zip codes showed that the zip codes with lower transportation diversity are also more socioeconomically deprived. This highlights the likely influence of transportation diversity on social exclusion. Further consideration of the impacts of Hurricanes Irene and Sandy in NYC shows that people in areas with a lower transportation diversity were affected more and the transport inequity in these areas made it difficult to cope with these disasters and caused post-disaster social exclusion. Therefore, enhancing transportation diversity should support transport equity and reduce social exclusion under normal situations and during extreme events. The investigations conducted highlight the importance of the provision and distribution of all transportation modes, their influence on mobility during normal situations and extreme events and their contribution toward mitigating social exclusion. Finally, the collective results suggest that transportation diversity can contribute to more targeted and equitable transportation and community resilience planning, which should help decision-makers allocate scarce resources more effectively.

Full textOs planejadores de transporte precisam avaliar as condições de estresse dos usuários em infraestruturas cicloviárias, uma vez que situações de alto estresse podem desencorajar o uso deste modo de transporte sustentável. Poucas pesquisas têm questionado se existe alguma relação entre esses fatores ambientais e a resposta emocional em termos de medidas objetivas do estresse. O objetivo deste trabalho é explorar a incorporação de sensores inteligentes no planejamento e avaliação da infraestrutura cicloviária. Essa nova abordagem é focada na perspectiva de monitorar parâmetros intrínsecos ao usuário, como as emoções. Nesta perspectiva, os indicadores dos níveis de estresse são feitos a partir da medição direta de respostas fisiológicas em ciclistas ao longo do percurso. Essa abordagem aproveita os recursos tecnológicos para extrair informações dos usuários e permitir o uso dessas informações de forma integrada para melhorar a infraestrutura dos ciclistas. Os dados foram coletados por meio de sensores de estresse, de ruído e acelerômetros incorporados a um smartphone e GPS. Inicialmente é apresentado o problema e como o projeto e avaliação das ciclovias tem sido abordada na literatura. A abordagem proposta permitiu identificar as contribuições mais relevantes e as lacunas de pesquisa, tais como, a falta de pesquisas baseadas em critérios de objetivos e a falta de pesquisas que envolvam o desenho e a avaliação de cenários de infraestrutura compartilhados com veículos automotores. Em seguida foi proposto um método objetivo de avaliação de infraestruturas cicloviárias, combinando a avaliação ambiental com medições de aceleração vertical, a fim de melhorar a coleta de dados e outros procedimentos necessários para avaliar os principais componentes das infraestruturas cicloviárias. Na sequência uma ferramenta para caracterizar o estresse de tráfego de ciclovias, denominada Level of Traffic Stress (LTS), foi validada com medidas fisiológicas no contexto urbano de uma cidade brasileira de porte médio. Observou-se que não há correlação e há pouca concordância entre esses parâmetros. Ressalta-se ainda que, mesmo ao incorporar informações de velocidade de tráfego à ferramenta LTS, não foi significativamente relacionado com estresse medido sob a perspectiva do ciclista. Por fim, foi investigada a influência do ruído, vibração, presencia ou ausência de ciclovias e período do dia no estresse experimentado pelos ciclistas. Uma análise dos valores de p e dos intervalos de confiança das razões de chances mostraram, com um nível de confiança de 95%, que apenas o período do dia influenciou o estresse. Neste caso, as chances de ter estresse aumentaram em 24% na hora pico da tarde em comparação com a hora pico da manhã. Este estudo mostrou a viabilidade da avaliação do estresse em ciclistas por meio de um método de medida objetiva além da rápida identificação dos níveis críticos de estresse.

Full textOne of the main reasons for the Brazilian soybean producers lack of competitiveness is the cost of transportation from the farm to the export Ports, due to the country´s unbalanced transport matrix. Trying to show the advantages of water transportation to transport commodities for long distances, this research proposes the use of multi-criteria decision analysis to support the strategic evaluation of seven freight transportation corridors used to export the soybean produced in the state of Mato Grosso, according to four fundamental objectives: Social Impacts, Environmental Impacts, Economic Impacts and Investment Costs. A hypothetical case demonstrates the application of the MCDA model.

Full textCities have outgrown the coutryside. This could be celebrated, since cities were and still are mankinds richest expression. Never finished, never definitive, cities present history and culture in their most physical aspects, true centers of economic growth, innovation and talent. Sadly, what we see in our cities is an uncontrolled growth of precarious settlements and the increase of urban poverty. How will an estimated urban population of over a billion people live in the next 15 years? This dissertation believes that urban infrastructures have a pivotal role in regulating and designing territory, for they create new opportunities of urban development and they can interfere both on constructed and natural environments.

Full textTransport infrastructure played a key role in the urban growth of São Paulo, determining its urban occupation and its expansion axes. This work starts with a historical foundation that approaches the early history of urban development of São Paulo, with the introduction of railroads and trams in the mid-19th century and early 20th century, and the structuring and intense urban growth of the city with the rise of the automobile and bus transportation mainly from the 1950s and 1960s. This dispute between transportation modes is one of the factors that contributed to the current mobility crisis in the city, and is also a recurring theme in the initiatives of the urban and transportation planning performed from the years 2000 as in the PITU 2020 and PITU 2025 plans. The analysis of these plans aims to restore the importance of the rail system for the joint development of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, and analyze the relation between land use public policy and transport planning.

Full textThe transportation system plays an important role in the dynamics of a city. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, São Paulo´s road system has become the main structural element of the city. Besides serving for transportation, this system serves an important role for the urban growth of São Paulo. In this work São Paulo´s structural road system will be analyzed. It studies the city´s urban plans between 1930 to 2002 and examines proposals for urban planning and the guidelines for the road system. The Plano de Avenidas (1930) was the first urban plan to establish guidelines for the road system that assumed it´s importance as a growth structure as well as its function as mode of transportation. The radial-perimetral road system proposed in this plan resonated widely in the interventions in the system throughout the twentieth century. The Radioconcêntrico concept was taken up on later plans, although there was attempts to break this paradigm in Plano Urbanístico Básico (1968) and Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Integrado (1971). These plans presented the concept of expressways in form of a grid, a fully independent system from the existing road system, which would undo the heavy mononuclear aspect of the metropolis. Given the difficult economic conditions of the period, this new road system model did not go forward. The following plans prioritized public transport and the road system resumed to the radioconcêntrico model. Since the 1980s, another category of intervention marks the road system of São Paulo: the avenidas de fundo de vale. Given the lack of resources for interventions in the road system, several avenues were opened along canalized by use of the resources of a national sanitation plan (Plano Nacional de Saneamento). Also since the 1980s the road interventions had become more spread out then before. Until then a majority of the big road related intervention had concentrated in central and southwest quadrant. The decentralization of these roads interventions contributed to the development of local centers dissociated with historical city center. This descentralization had been proposed as a urban strategy for São Paulo since 1958 with the publication of the SAGMACS study. After the release of this study, urban decentralization became an important proposal in the urban plans for São Paulo. The descentralization strategies went from the development of local centers, to political decentralization. Nevertheless, by the end of the period analyzed in this study, there remains to be a concentration of in the central and southwest regions. According to Villaça, in São Paulo the upper classes tend to be concentrated in the southwest quadrant of the city, a region which also concentrated public investments. Also according to Villaça, since there is no mandatory application of the guidelines present in the master plan, this mechanism has not attended its purpose: the resolution of urban problems. It in fact, has allowed the perpetuation of non- egalitarian actions on the urban territory.

“Vision Zero,” first adopted by Sweden in 1997, is a road safety policy that aims to achieve a transportation system having zero fatalities or serious injuries for all modes of transportation. It takes a proactive approach to road safety system by identifying risk and taking steps to prevent injuries. Historically, traffic related crashes have disproportionately impacted vulnerable communities and system users including people of color, low income individuals, seniors, children, and pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users (who typically walk to and from public transport). These inequities are addressed in the Vision Zero framework by prioritizing interventions in areas that need safety improvements the most. In 2016, the Alexandria City Council voted unanimously to develop a “Vision Zero” policy and program as a part of its updated transportation master plan. It required an initial equity analysis to assess the impact of traffic crashes on the traditionally underserved communities / groups (groups from at least one of these categories: low-income; minority; elderly; children; limited English proficiency; persons with disabilities; and/or pedestrians/ bicyclists/ transit users). This study combines three different methods to investigate the equity issues regarding traffic safety: 1) descriptive analysis of the spatial pattern of crashes and their relationship with the demographic profiles of neighborhoods at census block group level (for 2010-2014 period); 2) descriptive analysis of the crash trends in Alexandria; and 3) exploratory regression analyses for two different units of analysis (an aggregate regression analysis of crashes at census block group, and a disaggregate regression analysis of the individual level crash reports of traffic crashes). The analysis found that the elderly, school aged children, rail/subway users, and pedestrians had a higher risk of fatalities and severe injuries in traffic crashes. Higher job densities, alcohol impairment, and speeding were significantly related to higher KSI, whereas, smaller block sizes (higher number of street segments per sq. mile area of census block group), higher housing density, and use of safety equipment were related to lower KSI.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os entraves e soluções ao investimento em infraestrutura de transportes no Brasil. Com a retomada do papel de investidor pelo Estado no governo Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010), surgiram problemas que impediram a realização plena dos investimentos previstos pelo Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC), como atrasos, baixa qualidade de projetos e da regulação, dificultando o esforço do Estado em prover infraestrutura de qualidade, mesmo quando providencia o financiamento. Procura-se entender a natureza de tais entraves para alcançar soluções que potencializem o escasso investimento em infraestrutura. O trabalho se dá com uma apresentação teórica e conceitual de infraestrutura econômica, indo para sua relação com o desenvolvimento econômico e sua evolução na história econômica do país, evidenciando suas diversas formas de financiamento, gerenciamento e planejamento, conforme os diferentes governos. São utilizados dois casos de investimentos do PAC para representação da ocorrência dos entraves. Utiliza-se majoritariamente a abordagem heterodoxa da economia para a análise, além de revisão bibliográfica pertinente ao tema. A pesquisa conclui que os principais problemas com o investimento é a falta de qualidade no planejamento que antecede às obras, especialmente na escolha de projetos e na gestão de recursos, prazos e mão de obra, resultando em menor capacidade de lidar com riscos e imprevistos que surgem no decorrer das obras. Grande parte da solução dos problemas são readequações de medidas já previstas pela administração, com poucas medidas de grande vulto. Portanto, conclui-se que o investimento em infraestrutura no brasil tem grande poder de potencializar o desenvolvimento econômico do país, pois por estar obsoleta, a mesma impõe-se atualmente como gargalo para o crescimento. Dito isso, constata-se também que há grande margem para ganhos de eficiência no investimento uma vez que seus entraves podem ser resolvidos com medidas de planejamento que não necessitam de grandes reformas para serem postas em prática.
This work has the objective of analyze the hindrances and solutions to the investment in transport infrastructure in Brazil. With the resumption of the role of investor by the State during the government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) several problems arise preventing that the full realization of the investments foreseen by the Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (Growth Acceleration Program) were achieved. Delays, low quality of projects and additional costs are examples of these hindrances, which make more difficult the efforts of the State to providing high quality infrastructure, even when it has resources to do it. From this arises the need for understanding of such hindrances in order to find solutions that may increase the efficiency of the scarce investment. The work begins with a theoretical and conceptual presentation of the economic infrastructure, then going to its relation with the economic development and its evolution over the economic history of the country. In sequence, it will be presented the mechanisms that were used by the Brazilian government to plan, manage and finance the infrastructure over the recent decades. Two cases of investment in transport infrastructure are used, showing how these hindrances to hamper the evolution of country's infrastructure, but also bringing the solutions which have been proposed to overcome such problems. It is used to build the analyses both the heterodox approach of economics and the specific bibliography pertinent to the subject. The research concludes that the main problems when performing infrastructure investment is the lack of quality in planning prior to the beginning of the works, especially in the choosing of engineering projects and in the management of resources, deadlines and labour, which results in less capacity to deal with risks and problems that happen during the implementation of the works. Great part of the solutions are readjustments of measures already foreseen by the processual ordainment, with few measures of great complexity. Thus, it can be inferred that the investment in infrastructure in Brazil has great power to enhance the economic development of the country, because for being obsolete, it currently imposes itself as bottleneck to the growth. That said, it could also be noted that there is great scope for efficiency gains in investment since its hindrances can be solved with planning measures that do not require major reforms to be implemented.

Full textThe subject of this study is the mobility hubs, intermodal stations classified as the main nodes of a public transportation network. Because of the variety of transportation modes that these points articulate, they are privileged areas of accessibility and connectivity in both local and metropolitan scale, overcoming the exclusive functional and technical definition as transportation equipment and being considered powerful inductors of urban transformations. The study context is the São Paulo metropolitan area, involving its current urban issues and the alternatives planned for public transportation system. We seek to discuss key points related to the interaction between mobility networks and urbanization in the metropolis, including topics such as the urban sprawl, the instability derived from the expansion pattern of the urbanized area and plans that intends to link mobility and land use. We deal with these themes through literature review, the analysis of urban master plans (PDE 2002 and 2014) and the metropolitan mobility plans (PITU 2020 and 2025), as well as a purposeful step in which we identify and classify the mobility hubs in São Paulo planned transportation network. From this last level, we selected some case studies to investigate their influence areas. Furthermore, this step tries to provide parameters for urban design scale, which is defined at the end of the study, as an essential tool to work in the contemporary urban reality and to enable proposals compromised to the urban density intensification and the reduction of the

Full textAbstract: In recent years, the use of electric vehicles in urban zones has been intensified. As a policy of increasing the penetration of electric vehicles and reducing air pollution, electric taxis have been introduced into transportation systems. They need special attention because of its different driving patterns. In contrast to private electric vehicles, which can be recharged for a long period, electric taxis need to recharge only for a short time due to their constant operation. Therefore, fast charging stations are required to meet the demand for recharging electric taxis and should be located at strategic places. In addition, an analysis must be performed to connect these stations in the electric network. To improve their allocation and connectivity, this work presents a methodology to help in decision making for installing fast charging stations, considering as criteria: locations with greater flow of electric taxis and low level of state of charge, the available physical space to carry out their recharge and cost functions for the connection of charging stations. The result of the proposal is a map with the location of fast charging stations and analysis of the lowest cost places for connection to the network. The methodology is tested in a medium-sized city in Brazil, showing the importance of this map and cost functions in decision making. The proposal is compared with another methodology, showing that the proposed method considers different criteria and creates a better s... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Eles necessitam de atenção especial devido aos seus diferentes padrões de condução. Em contraste com os veículos elétricos privados, que podem ser recarregados por um longo período, táxis elétricos necessitam de recarga em um curto período de tempo devido a sua constante operação. Portanto, estações de recarga rápida são necessárias para receber a demanda de recarga dos táxis elétricos e devem estar localizadas em locais estratégicos. Além disso, uma análise deve ser realizada para a conexão destas estações com a rede elétrica. Para melhorar sua alocação e conectividade, este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia para auxiliar na tomada de decisão da instalação de estações de recarga rápida considerando como critérios: locais com maior fluxo de táxis elétricos e baixo nível de carga nas baterias, espaço físico disponível para realizar o carregamento e funções de custo para a conexão das estações de recarga. Os resultados da proposta são mapas com a localização das estações de recarga rápida e análise dos locais de menor custo para a conexão com a rede elétrica. A metodologia é testada em uma cidade de médio porte no Brasil, mostrando a importância dos mapas e funções de custo na tomada de decisão. A proposta é comparada com outras me...
