Full textAbstract:
Sustainable urban mobility adds a new dimension to the circulation of goods and people in the city: sustainability. The increasing number of individual motor vehicles is an accurate urban mobility diagnostic, by highlighting strengths and weaknesses, to guide public policies aimed at improving the quality of urban life. In this paper, the Sustainable Urban Mobility Index has been discussed and then applied to evaluate the sustainable urban mobility in Campinas (SP, Brazil). For the period 2010-2014, the index shows a persistent insufficiency in the sustainable urban mobility of this city, even if there was a slight improvement in the period. This is due to the environmental dimension, considering the increasing fuel consumption. It is therefore necessary to look for possible solutions involving primarily collective transportation and non-motorized one, especially for short distance.

<p>The European Union, its member states and local authorities have been working for long time on the design of solutions for future sustainable mobility. The promotion of a sustainable and affordable urban transport contemplates the bicycle as a mean of transport. The reasons for analysing the cycling mobility in urban areas, has its origin in the confrontation with motorized vehicles, as a sustainable response to the environment. In this context of sustainable mobility, the research team has studied the use of bicycles in Mediterranean cities, specifically in coastal tourist areas. The present work shows the development of a mobility index oriented to the bicycle, transport that competes with the private vehicle. By means of a survey methodology, the research group proceeded to collect field data and the subsequent analysis of them, for the development of a mobility index adapted to bicycle mobility, and with possibilities to adapt to urban environments.</p>

Since 2013, the European cities have been encouraged to develop local Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) according to the specific procedure that was launched by the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG Move) and updated in 2019. One of the most critical steps in this 12-step procedure is the assessment—with specific criteria—of all the alternative measures and infrastructure, which will be optimally combined, in order to better satisfy the problems and the achieve the vision of each area. The aim of the current work is to present the development and implementation of a methodological framework based on the use of multicriteria analysis. The framework targets the capturing of opinions of the relevant local experts in order to evaluate alternative sustainable mobility measures, and also prioritize them using the Sustainable Mobility Efficiency Index (SMEI).

<p>The growth and concentration of motor vehicles in developing cities has led to increased demand for urban mobility. Renewed commitments of Asian cities are required in order to achieve the SDG target on urban mobility as well as to enhance overall sustainability of urban transport systems and services. Cities and countries need to track the progress in improving urban mobility. With a view to support evidence based decision, the paper introduces the Sustainable Urban Transport Index (SUTI) of urban transport services, to help summarize, track and compare the state of urban mobility in Asian cities, as model for developing cities in the world. It also presents the results of pilot application of SUTI in four Asian cities: Greater Jakarta; Kathmandu; Hanoi; and Colombo. The four pilot cities were able to collect data, analyzed and assess the state of urban mobility in their city using SUTI. The assessment result supported policy makers to identify policy gaps, prioritize additional measures and investment strategies required to improve urban transport systems and services in each city. The visual output display in spider diagram was useful to comprehend state of all 10 key indicators in a glace. The pilot study demonstrated the usefulness of SUTI tool and the pilot cities were already using the results of SUTI analysis. In Kathmandu additional efforts are required to improve pedestrian infrastructure and facilities, Colombo needed to improve quality and reliability of public transport system, while Hanoi and Greater Jakarta need to put additional efforts to increase mode share of public transport system.</p>

Population mobility, increasing demand for transportation, and the complexity of land use have an impact on environmental quality degradation and air quality pollution. This study aims to analyze (1) the effect of population mobility, increased traffic volume, and land use change on air quality pollution, (2) direct and indirect effects of urban activities, transportation systems, and movement patterns on environmental quality degradation and air pollution index, and (3) air pollution strategy and sustainable urban environmental management. The research method used is a sequential explanation design. Data were obtained through observation, surveys, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study illustrate that the business center and Daya terminal with a value of 0.18 µgram/m3 is polluted, the power plant and Sermani industrial area with a value of 0.16 µgram/m3 is polluted, the Makassar industrial area with a value of 0.23 is heavily polluted, and the Hasanuddin International Airport area with a value of 0.04 µgram/m3 is not polluted. Population mobility, traffic volume, and land use changes have a significant effect on environmental quality degradation, with a determination coefficient of 94.1%. The direct effect of decreasing environmental quality on the air pollution index is 66.09%. This study recommends transportation management on the main road corridor of Makassar City, which is environmentally friendly with regard to sustainable environmental management.

Full textAbstract:
The research carried out, as well as the measures taken to promote the use of sustainable transport in our cities, do not fully achieve their purpose. The Wertraitionalirat concept introduced by Max Weber in 1922 stated: “The use of public transport arises more from a system of values with which the person identifies than from the quality of the transport offered”. This assertion made at the beginning of the 20th century is still valid, where the means, infrastructure and advances achieved do not obtain a proportional response from citizens. The aim of this work is, through this approach, to find variables that complement research on urban mobility habits. For this purpose, data from the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) and the European Social Survey (ESS) are used to analyse postmodern values and citizens’ environmental awareness, linking these to sustainable mobility habits in 12 European countries. The results suggest that a higher index of postmodern values implies greater environmental awareness, which would lead to a greater use of sustainable transport, although there are variables related to environmental knowledge and risk which indicate that greater environmental education and awareness is needed.

Full textAbstract:
A smart city describes an urban setting which aims to effectively apply ICT technologies to help improve the well-being of its citizens and reduce the negative impacts of urbanization. The priority areas considered in the Global Smart City Index (SCI) by the Institute for Management Development’s (IMD) World Competitiveness Centre were key infrastructures and technologies in (1) health and safety, (2) mobility, (3) activities (e.g., recreational spaces), (4) opportunities (work and school), and (5) governance. A smart region is a term used to extend the concept of a smart city into both urban and rural settings to promote a sustainable planning approach at the regional level. A direction that must be considered is the adoption of a “Smart Region Mobility Framework” to effectively transform our urban and rural regional transportation networks. This research study focused on the development of the smart region mobility framework for an island region group in the Philippines. The smart region goal is to integrate intelligent transportation system (ITS) platforms such as advanced public transportation system (APTS), advanced traveler information system (ATIS), and advanced rural transportation system (ARTS) to the local public transportation route plans (LPTRP) of the region. The activities include the data collection, analysis, and evaluation of multimodal regional transportation networks and social services infrastructure. The transportation network modeling process follows the four-step transportation planning process of trip generation, trip distribution, modal-split analysis, and trip assignment. Based on the analysis of 6 provinces, 16 cities, and 114 municipalities included in the study, there are two cities identified as smart city candidates. One of the smart city candidates is designated as the smart city regional center. In the context of a smart region, the available social services (e.g., employment opportunities, education, and health services) in the designated smart cities can also be made accessible to connected cities/municipalities through ease of transportation and mobility services in the region. Lastly, the study presented the implementation of data flow architecture of the smart region mobility framework, and the regional traveler information system using mobile and web application services.

Full textAbstract:
Minimising the impacts of construction work on mobility, especially in urban areas, is a major issue for local authorities and construction planners that has not been sufficiently studied. This paper proposes a deterministic decision-making method for quantifying the impacts of construction work on mobility, including emergency vehicles, mass transit, individual transport, bicycles, and pedestrians. The method is based on multi-attribute utility theory, interviews with experts representing various stakeholders in construction, and a review of the literature and legislation. The practical use is illustrated with a real case study in which two shaft-construction processes (diaphragm wall excavated using a hydromill and vertical shaft sinking machine) are compared and ranked. The sensitivity analysis shows the robustness of the results. The resulting Mobility Impact Index can easily be integrated with other social, economic, and environmental criteria, thereby enabling the evaluation of alternatives from a multi-criteria perspective, e.g., in tender processes. The method could be useful to public authorities and design and construction companies and is being piloted in construction projects of the city of Barcelona. It has implications for corporate social responsibility, social/sustainable procurement, and social/sustainable impact assessment in construction.

Abstract The salient scope of this paper is to enable the knowledge and understanding of urban freight transportation and provide guidance for implementing sustainable policies and measures in a city. To achieve this goal, an evaluation framework for city logistics policies and measures is developed, which demonstrates the complexity of urban freight transportation systems, through selected performance indicators, taking into account divergent stakeholders’ interests, conflicting business models and operations. Evaluation follows a hierarchical process; sustainability disciplines (economy and energy, environment, transportation and mobility, society), applicability enablers (policy and measure maturity, social acceptance and users’ uptake), multiple criteria and indicators, capturing the lifecycle impact of policies and measures and multiple stakeholders. Apart from the multicriteria context, the framework embeds methodologies, including, Impact Assessment, Social Cost Benefit Analysis, Transferability and Adaptability, and Risk Analysis. To demonstrate its applicability a case study is set for the City of Graz assessing the establishment of an Urban Consolidation Center. Results show that there is an overall improvement of 2.2% in the Logistics Sustainability Index when comparing before and after implementation cases of the Urban Consolidation Center.

O objetivo geral deste estudo é identificar desafios e perspectivas para avaliação e melhoria da mobilidade urbana através de padrões sustentáveis de geração de viagens. A investigação se baseia na aplicação de procedimentos específicos, que têm início com o cálculo do Índice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável (IMUS), em seis cidades brasileiras selecionadas: Belém, Curitiba, Goiânia, Juazeiro do Norte, Uberlândia e Itajubá. Além de permitir comparações entre as cidades, a aplicação do índice em vários locais serve também para identificar as mudanças que poderiam ser implementadas em sua estrutura para torná-lo mais flexível na utilização em distintos contextos. O estudo também se concentra em estratégias de planejamento para a melhoria da mobilidade urbana sustentável, com duas abordagens. Na primeira, uma avaliação simultânea de custo, prazo e risco político é levada em conta. Na segunda abordagem, um cenário hipotético é utilizado para avaliar os impactos de padrões sustentáveis de geração de viagem sobre a mobilidade urbana. Os resultados do índice indicaram que Curitiba, Uberlândia e Goiânia tiveram um desempenho melhor do que Itajubá, Belém e Juazeiro do Norte, em relação às condições de mobilidade urbana sustentável. Estes resultados também destacaram a importância do contexto nas condições de mobilidade de cada cidade estudada. As menores cidades e as das regiões mais ricas do país, por exemplo, tiveram, em geral, um desempenho melhor do que as demais. Outro fato relevante é que apenas 53% dos 87 indicadores foram calculados em todas as seis cidades, o que sugere que podem ser necessárias mudanças nos métodos de cálculo de alguns indicadores. Por outro lado, um resultado positivo da aplicação do índice em cidades distintas foi a possibilidade de identificar os aspectos comuns que ajudaram a promover a mobilidade sustentável, bem como aqueles que atuaram como obstáculos para tal. Uma forte relação entre boas condições de mobilidade e a viabilidade de ações para melhorá-las ainda mais também foi observada nos casos estudados. Mais importante do que essas observações, no entanto, podem ser os casos de indicadores com desempenho ruim, mas com boas expectativas de melhora. Estas são áreas potenciais para ações destinadas à promoção da mobilidade urbana sustentável.The overall aim of this study is to identify challenges and perspectives for the assessment and improvement of the urban mobility through sustainable trips generation patterns. The investigation is based on the application of specific procedures, which start with the calculation of the Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (I_SUM) in six selected Brazilian cities: Belém, Curitiba, Goiânia, Juazeiro do Norte, Uberlândia, and Itajubá. The application of I_SUM in several cities allows for comparisons between the cities. In addition, it also serves to identify changes that could be implemented in the index structure to make it more flexible for use in distinct contexts. The study also focuses on planning strategies for the improvement of sustainable urban mobility, with two approaches. In the first one, a simultaneous assessment of cost, time and political risk is taken into account. In the second approach, a hypothetical scenario is used to assess the impacts of sustainable trip generation patterns on urban mobility. The index results indicated that, re garding the sustainable urban mobility conditions, Curitiba, Uberlândia and Goiânia had a better performance than Itajubá, Belém and Juazeiro do Norte. These results also highlighted the importance of the context in the mobility conditions of each studied city. The smallest cities and those in the wealthier part of the country, for example, had in general a better performance than the others. Also relevant is the fact that only 53% of the 87 indicators have been calculated in all six cities, what suggests that changes in the calculation methods of some indicators may be needed. On the other hand, a positive outcome of the index application in distinct cities was the possibility of detecting the common aspects that helped to foster sustainable mobility, as well as those that acted as obstacles. A strong relationship between good mobility conditions and the feasibility of actions to further improve these conditions was also observed in the studied cases. More important than those observations, however, may be the cases with bad performance but high expectations of improvement. These are potential areas for actions meant to foster sustainable urban mobility.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivos: identificar os conceitos que estruturam o referencial de mobilidade urbana sustentável, desenvolver uma ferramenta para diagnóstico e monitoração da mobilidade urbana e realizar a sua avaliação a partir de uma aplicação em uma cidade de médio porte. O processo de construção do referencial de mobilidade urbana sustentável, feito a partir de workshops realizados em onze cidades brasileiras através da metodologia multicritério de apoio à decisão construtivista (MCDA-C), revelou questões-chave que devem ser consideradas para a implementação do conceito. Ao mesmo tempo, forneceu as bases para a construção da ferramenta denominada de índice de mobilidade urbana sustentável - IMUS. O índice é constituído de uma hierarquia de critérios que agrega nove domínios, trinta e sete temas e oitenta e sete indicadores. Seu sistema de pesos permite identificar a importância relativa de cada critério de forma global e para cada dimensão da sustentabilidade (social, econômica e ambiental). Seu método de agregação permite a compensação entre critérios bons e ruins. O índice apresenta ainda escalas de avaliação para cada indicador, permitindo verificar o desempenho em relação a metas pré-estabelecidas e realizar análises comparativas entre diferentes regiões geográficas. A aplicação do IMUS para a cidade de São Carlos, estado de São Paulo, indicou a viabilidade de sua utilização para a monitoração da mobilidade e avaliação de impactos de políticas públicas em cidades de médio porte, e revelou aspectos importantes sobre as condições de mobilidade no município. O resultado global do IMUS para a cidade alcançou valor em torno de 0,58, considerado médio segundo a escala de avaliação proposta para o índice. A aplicação do índice permitiu identificar fatores críticos e fatores de maior impacto para a melhoria de aspectos globais e setoriais da mobilidade urbana, fornecendo subsídios para a proposição de políticas e estratégias visando melhorar a mobilidade urbana sustentável. A compatibilidade dos resultados obtidos segundo o cálculo dos indicadores e análise expedita feita por um especialista sugere que o IMUS fornece resultados confiáveis para o acompanhamento das condições de mobilidade urbana em cidades e médio e grande porte.The objectives of this research are: (i) to identify the concepts that shape the sustainable urban mobility framework; (ii) to develop a tool for assessing and monitoring urban mobility conditions; and (iii) to evaluate the proposed tool through an actual application in a medium-sized city. The main elements of the sustainable urban mobility framework were identified in workshops conducted in eleven brazilian cities. The use of a multicriteria decision analysis-constructivist (MCDA-C) approach in the workshops revealed key elements that shall be considered in the concept implementation. In addition, it provided the basic elements for the development of the so-called index of sustainable urban mobility - I_SUM. The index is formed by a hierarchy of criteria with nine domains, thirty-seven themes, and eighty-seven Indicators. The weighting system makes it possible to identify the relative importance of each criterion for the global Index as well as for each sustainability dimension (social, economic, and environmental). Furthermore, the aggregation procedure adopted allows for trade-offs, therefore compensating good and bad performances found among the indicators. The index is also associated with evaluation procedures for each Indicator, which makes it possible to compare index values with predefined goals and to carry out comparative analyses between different geographic regions. The application of I_SUM to São Carlos, a city in the state of São Paulo, has shown the feasibility of its use to monitor local mobility conditions and to evaluate impacts of public policies in medium-sized cities, revealing important mobility aspects in the city. The global I_SUM value for the city was 0.58, what can be considered a reasonable value when compared with the reference values proposed for the index. The use of the index highlighted critical factors and those that have significant impact on the global and certain dimensions of urban mobility. These inputs might be useful for the formulation of policies and strategies aiming at achieving greater sustainable urban mobility. Lastly, the comparison between the value obtained with the index calculation procedures and that estimated by an expert suggests that I_SUM can give reliable estimates of mobility conditions in medium and large-sized cities.

O atual modelo de planejamento dos transportes é constantemente confrontado com novos ideais associados à mobilidade sustentável. Assim, inúmeros pesquisadores debruçam-se em busca de indicadores e índices capazes de avaliar e monitorar o desempenho de políticas públicas relacionadas ao tema. Dessa forma foi desenvolvido o Índice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável (IMUS), uma ferramenta pautada nos preceitos da mobilidade sustentável com a proposta de tornar-se um apoio à gestão municipal. Por ser um método recente, sua aplicação ainda é limitada. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo concentra-se em realizar o cálculo do índice na cidade de Curitiba, muito conhecida por suas soluções urbanas que associam o planejamento dos transportes ao uso do solo. A aplicação do método na cidade fundamentou-se não apenas em obter o simples score relacionado ao desempenho das condições da mobilidade local, mas também possibilitaram avaliar o próprio método. O valor resultante alcançado foi correspondente a 0,747, confirmando Curitiba como uma cidade com características bastante positivas quanto às políticas urbanas voltadas à mobilidade. Por outro lado, foram identificadas algumas deficiências, especialmente quanto aos modos não motorizados de transporte. O cálculo do IMUS permitiu encontrar também indicadores que não foram capazes de identificar aspectos reconhecidamente favoráveis da cidade, demonstrando que possivelmente esses apresentem problemas de avaliação ou normalização de valores. A aplicação do método também se mostrou eficiente para promover uma avaliação intraurbana entre as diversas regiões da cidade. Nesse aspecto Curitiba demonstrou um saudável equilíbrio, sem apresentar grandes disparidades quanto suas políticas locais. Tal característica mostra-se bastante favorável para identificar Curitiba como um benchmarking da mobilidade sustentável. Finalmente o método foi testado como uma ferramenta de comparação entre cidades distintas, demonstrando também ser eficiente, desde que se mantenha uma estrutura de cálculo compatível entre as cidades que se deseja comparar.The current transportation planning approach is constantly confronted with new values derived from the concept of sustainable mobility. As a consequence, several researchers have devoted time and effort in the search of indicators and indexes capable of evaluating and monitoring the performance of urban policies related to the theme. The Sustainable Urban Mobility Index (I_SUM) was one of them. It is a decision support tool developed to help municipal administrations in the planning and management of sustainable mobility. As it is a recent method, its application is still limited to just a few cases. The objective of this study is to conduct an application of the index in Curitiba, which is a well-known city due to the quality of its urban planning solutions that associate transport planning to land use. The application of the method in the city was motivated not only by the possibility of having a score showing the performance of the city regarding sustainable mobility, but also by the opportunity of evaluating the method itself. The overall resulting value was 0.747, what confirms that Curitiba has very positive characteristics and effective urban policies regarding sustainable mobility. Conversely, some deficiencies were identified, especially concerning non-motorized transport modes. The I_SUM calculation also allowed the identification of indicators that were not able to identify aspects that are good to the city. That may suggest problems in the assessment or normalization procedures of the index. The method application was also efficient for the evaluation of city subdivisions. Curitiba also performed well in that intra-urban evaluation, with a positive equilibrium of the values throughout the city. It may be an indication that the city policies are homogeneously applied in the entire urban area, what certainly contributes to characterize Curitiba as a benchmark of urban mobility. Finally, when used to compare distinct cities, the method was also efficient. In that case, the calculation was compatible with a structure adjusted to simultaneously represent the compared cities.

Este trabalho apresentou um método de avaliação para sistemas de transporte público de uma cidade e da região metropolitana à qual ele pertence. No caso específico deste estudo, a cidade selecionada foi Fortaleza. A avaliação foi realizada do ponto de vista retrospectivo (1992, 2000 e 2010) e prospectivo (2014), com o propósito de destacar a importância da abordagem para o planejamento da mobilidade sustentável. A pesquisa foi motivada pelos crescentes problemas de mobilidade enfrentados pela população nos últimos anos. Projetos de ampliação da infraestrutura viária, bem como de criação de novos sistemas de transportes públicos são propostos com frequência, mas estes raramente são totalmente implantados ou executados. A estratégia de avaliação se baseia no Índice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável (IMUS), criado por Costa (2008). A estrutura do índice envolve 87 indicadores, que visam refletir diferentes impactos e perspectivas da mobilidade. Como o foco do estudo foi o transporte público, foram calculados apenas os 22 indicadores diretamente ligados ao tema. Os pesos da estrutura hierárquica foram redistribuídos para o índice resultante, que passou a ser chamado de IMUS-TP. O valor do índice foi calculado para cada um dos quatro anos do período de análise, de forma a avaliar os respectivos níveis de mobilidade urbana sustentável. Em geral, os resultados mostraram melhorias nos valores dos indicadores ao longo do tempo. Alguns indicadores, no entanto, apresentaram problemas. Isto produziu efeitos negativos sobre os valores do índice encontrados para Fortaleza (IMUS-TP, igual a 0,463) e para a região metropolitana (IMUS-TP-RMF, igual a 0,407) em 2010. Mesmo considerando todos os projetos previstos para 2014, os valores de IMUS-TP e IMUS-TP-RMF deverão chegar a apenas 0,612 e 0,500, respectivamente. Estes valores não são altos, mas eles certamente mostram melhorias no sistema de transporte público. Algumas das melhorias esperadas são: priorização do transporte público, investimentos na integração dos sistemas de transporte, subsídios públicos para o sistema de transporte metropolitano, mais interação entre os sistemas de transporte urbano e metropolitano, e procedimentos eficazes para a atualização dos bancos de dados. Os valores do índice mostram que estas medidas, embora importantes porque melhorarão as condições de mobilidade na cidade de Fortaleza e na região metropolitana, não resolverão definitivamente o problema.This study introduces a method for the assessment of the public transportation systems of a single city and also of the metropolitan region it belongs to. In the case of this particular investigation, the selected city was Fortaleza, Brazil. The evaluation was conducted for three periods in the past (i.e., the years 1992, 2000, and 2010), and one in the future, which is the year 2014. The purpose was to highlight the importance of the approach for sustainable mobility planning. The growing mobility problems faced by the population in the recent past have been the motivation for this research. Projects for road infrastructure improvement and for the creation of new public transportation systems are frequently proposed, but rarely built or fully implemented. The evaluation approach is based on the Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (I_SUM or IMUS, in Portuguese) created by Costa (2008). The index framework involves 87 indicators, which are meant to cover distinct impacts and perspectives of mobility. As the focus of the study was on public transportation, only the 22 indicators directly linked to the subject were calculated. The weights of the hierarchical structure were redistributed to the resulting index, which was then called IMUS-TP. The index value was calculated for each of the four years period of analysis, for assessing the respective levels of sustainable urban mobility. In general, the results showed improvements in the values of the indicators throughout time. Some indicators, however, had problems. This had a negative effect on the index values found for Fortaleza (IMUS-TP, equal to 0.463) and for the metropolitan region (IMUS-TP-RMF, equal to 0.407) in 2010. Even considering all projects proposed for 2014, the values of IMUS-TP and IMUS-TP-RMF are expected to reach only 0.612 and 0.500, respectively. These values are not high, but they certainly show improvements in the public transportation system. Some of the expected improvements are: priorization of public transport, investments in the integration of transport systems, public subsidies to the metropolitan transit system, more interaction between urban and metropolitan transit systems, and effective procedures for the update of databases. The index values show that these measures, although important because they will improve the mobility conditions in the city of Fortaleza and in the metropolitan region, will not be able to definitely solve the problem.

Previous issue date: 2013-03-22The increasing concentration of the population in the cities resulted from a very rapid and uncontrolled urbanization process and the absence of public policies to regulate the indiscriminate use of private motorized vehicles has resulted, in the major Brazilian cities, in a significant increase of the number of vehicles and, hence in the deterioration of quality of urban life. The necessity of an urban planning that is able to better integrate the use and occupation of urban spaces and the mobility derived from them, has lead to many studies and research in order to develop indicators and indexes to measure the quality of life associated with the quality of mobility. Intending to do that Costa, 2008, developed the Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (I_SUM). This index evaluates qualitatively and qualitatively many aspects belonging to the concept of mobility, including the essential scenarios social, economic and environmental. This study aims the applications of the index in Goiania (GO) city, in order to make a diagnosis of the urban mobility conditions in the city in the light of this methodology and offer subsidies to the city decision- makers referring to implementation and monitoring of public policies to promote the sustainable urban mobility and hence the quality of urban life. Results of the study indicate that the city it is still far from to reach a high level of sustainable mobility (1,0), but despite of its not very satisfactory index (0,658), the value indicates that the city it is in the track towards the principles of sustainable urban mobility.
A concentração cada vez maior da população nas cidades, resultado de um processo de urbanização rápido e descontrolado e a ausência de políticas públicas que disciplinem o uso indiscriminado do veículo motorizado individual, tem resultado, na maioria das cidades brasileiras, em aumento significativo do número de veículos. Resulta também na consequente deterioração da mobilidade e da qualidade da vida urbana. A necessidade de um planejamento que integre melhor o uso e ocupação do espaço urbano e a mobilidade decorrente tem levado a estudos e investigações na busca de indicadores e índices capazes de medir a qualidade de vida da população associando-a à qualidade da mobilidade. Nesta direção foi desenvolvido por (Costa 2008), o Índice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável IMUS, o qual avalia quantitativamente e qualitativamente vários aspectos pertinentes à mobilidade, incluindo os cenários essenciais social, econômico e ambiental. Esta dissertação objetiva a aplicação deste índice na cidade de Goiânia (GO) de forma a oferecer um diagnóstico das condições de mobilidade na cidade à luz desta metodologia. A partir da avaliação do desempenho de cada indicador, também objetiva oferecer subsídios à tomada de decisão dos gestores públicos no que se refere aos processos de formulação, implantação e monitoramento de políticas públicas com vistas à promoção da mobilidade urbana sustentável e consequentemente da qualidade de vida na cidade. Os resultados indicam que embora ainda distante de alcançar níveis de sustentabilidade plenamente satisfatória (próximo de 1,0), o valor calculado (0,658) sugere, entretanto, que a mobilidade em Goiânia começa a trilhar, mesmo que de forma ainda tímida, os princípios da sustentabilidade.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-24In contemporary times, the urban mobility is presented as one of the main challenges of large and medium-sized Brazilian cities , it presents signs of unsustainability , above all due to the increase in motorized transport system , especially the individual . Thus , it is clear that mobility is considered of special interest for sustainable urban development , is facing a crisis that is reflected in negative externalities , particularly with regard to congestion , accidents , air pollution , social exclusion , among others. The complexity of these problems requires an integrated analysis based on the principles of sustainability . In this sense , trying to understand this problem and in the attempt to minimize its impacts, Costa (2008 ) proposed the Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (I_SUM) with the goal of providing a methodology capable to assess relevant aspects of mobility , including social dimensions , political, economic and environmental . Given the above, was elected as the main objective of this study is to analyze urban mobility in Natal / RN from the perspective of sustainability . Like specific objectives will seek to analyze Natal?s urban mobility, using the I_SUM like a tool for both the city as a whole and for each of its four administrative regions; evaluate Natal s urban accessibility conditions and verify to what extent the access to urban services and equipment is facilitated or hindered because of the location and incomes of the population . For this, it was necessary to use bibliographic , documentary and field research . The index , which varies from 0.00 to 1.00, revealed for Natal an Global value of 0,510, and that refers to its administrative regions, it was found that there are very small percentage differences from the overall index calculated for the city . The performance of I_SUM by administrative region showed that although there are differences , the results were very similar , varying between 0,494 and 0,537. Particularly in relation to urban accessibility, it appears that Natal presents as an unequal city and this inequity , which is not only income is reflected in the issues related to accessibility and hence urban mobility
Na atualidade, a mobilidade urbana se apresenta como um dos principais desafios das grandes e m?dias cidades brasileiras, pois apresenta sinais de insustentabilidade, principalmente em decorr?ncia do incremento no sistema de transporte motorizado, especialmente o individual. Diante disso, torna-se evidente que a mobilidade, considerada de especial interesse para o desenvolvimento urbano sustent?vel, vem enfrentando uma crise que se reflete em externalidades negativas, sobretudo no que se refere aos congestionamentos, aos acidentes, ? polui??o atmosf?rica, ? exclus?o social, entre outros. A complexidade desses problemas exige uma an?lise integrada alicer?ada nos princ?pios da sustentabilidade. Nesse sentido, buscando compreender tal problem?tica e na tentativa de minimizar os diversos impactos dela decorrentes, Costa (2008) prop?s o ?ndice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustent?vel (IMUS) com o objetivo de oferecer uma metodologia capaz de avaliar aspectos pertinentes ? mobilidade, incluindo as dimens?es social, pol?tica, econ?mica e ambiental. Diante do exposto, elegeu-se como principal objetivo deste estudo analisar a mobilidade urbana de Natal/RN na perspectiva da sustentabilidade. Como objetivos espec?ficos busca-se analisar a mobilidade urbana de Natal, utilizando como ferramenta o IMUS tanto para a cidade como um todo, quanto para cada uma das suas quatros Regi?es Administrativas; avaliar as condi??es de acessibilidade urbana em Natal e verificar em que medida o acesso a servi?os e equipamentos urbanos ? facilitado ou dificultado em virtude da localiza??o e do poder aquisitivo da popula??o. Para tanto, fezse necess?rio o uso de pesquisa bibliogr?fica, documental e de campo. O ?ndice, que varia de 0,00 a 1,00, revelou para Natal o valor Global de 0,510, e no que se refere ?s suas regi?es administrativas demonstrou que h? diferen?as percentuais muito pequenas em rela??o ao ?ndice global calculado para a cidade. O desempenho do IMUS por regi?o administrativa evidenciou que, embora existam diferen?as, os resultados ficaram muito pr?ximos, com varia??es entre 0,494 e 0,537. No que tange particularmente ? acessibilidade urbana, verifica-se que Natal apresenta-se como uma cidade desigual e, essa iniquidade que n?o ? apenas de renda, se reflete nas quest?es relacionadas ? acessibilidade e, consequentemente, ? mobilidade urbana

This study has evaluated the condition of the urban mobility in the city of Campinas, Paulo, Brazit. through the application of the tool Index of Sustainable Urban Mobi!?ty (I_SUM), enabling the identification of criticai indicators of urban mobility that should be prioritized by the public administration. Throughout the development of the study, the results of the application of the tool were cornplemented with the analysis of the urban expansion pattern to verify its influence on the city's travei behaviour in order to establ?sh a correlation between expansion and urban mobility. The definition of the urban mobility scenario for Campinas allowed to determine how the guidelines establ?shed until then influenced rnobitity, as well as to enable the identification of criticai indicators that more broadly address the guidelines regarding mobllity, complementing the guidelines defined by the public administration. It was to identify, in Campinas, an evident dependence on the use of cars, as a result of the settlement pattern, which requires the car for travelinq, since there is no prioritization of collective transportation, in addition to the incentive to acquire cars. The cross-checking of the data showed the dose relationship that urban planning and transportation system planning should have in order to harmonize the relationship between settlement patterns and travei behaviour, highlighting the role of prioritization of collective medes and non-rnotorized medes, in order to democratize access to urban space.

Ao longo do desenvolvimento do trabalho. os resultados da aplica??o da ferramenta foram complementados com a an?lise do padr?o de expans?o urbana de Campinas para verificar sua influ?ncia no padr?o de deslocamento da cidade, a fim de estabelecer uma correla??o entre expans?o e mobilidade urbana. A defini??o do panorama de mobilidade urbana para Campinas permitiu determinar como as diretrizes at? ent?o estabelecidas influenciaram na mobilidade, al?m de possibilitar a identifica??o de indicadores cr?ticos, que abordam de forma mais ampla as diretrizes em rela??o a mobilidade, complementando as diretrizes definidas pela administra??o p?blica. Foi poss?vel identificar, em Campinas, uma evidente depend?ncia do uso do autom?vel, tanto em decorr?ncia do padr?o de ocupa??o, que exige o autom?vel para deslocamentos, uma vez que n?o existe uma prioriza??o do transporte coletivo. tanto pelos incentivos para aquisi??o do autom?vel. O cruzamento dos dados permitiu evidenciar a estreita rela??o que o planejamento urbano e o planejamento do sistema de transporte devem ter para harmonizar a rela??o entre os padr?es de assentamento e os padr?es de deslocamento, democratizando o acesso ao espa?o urbano.

Due to the rapid growth of urban areas, sustainable urbanization is an inevitable task for city planners to address major challenges in resource management across different sectors. Sustainable approaches of energy production, distribution, and consumption must take the place of traditional methods to reduce the negative impacts of urbanization such as global warming and fast consumption of fossil fuels. In order to enable the transition of cities to sustainable ones, we need to have a precise understanding of the city dynamics. The prevalence of big data has highlighted the importance of data-driven analysis on different parts of the city including human movement, physical infrastructure, and economic activities.
Sustainable urban mobility (SUM) is the problem domain that addresses the sustainability issues in urban areas with respect to city dynamics and people movements in the city. Hence, to realize an integrated solution for SUM, we need to study the problems that lie at the intersection of energy systems and mobility. For instance, electric vehicle invention is a promising shift toward smart cities, however, the impact of high adoption of electric vehicles on different units such as electricity grid should be precisely addressed.
In this dissertation, we use data analytics methods in order to tackle major issues in SUM. We focus on mobility and energy issues of SUM by characterizing transportation networks and energy networks. Data-driven methods are proposed to characterize the energy systems as well as the city dynamics. Moreover, we propose anomaly detection algorithms for control and management purposes in smart grids and in cities. In terms of applications, we specifically investigate the use of electrical vehicles for personal use and also for public transportation (i.e. electric taxis). We provide a data-driven framework to propose optimal locations for charging and storage installation for electric vehicles. Furthermore, adoption of electric taxi fleet in dense urban areas is investigated using multiple data sources.Ph. D.

This is a study of urban mobility, where urban areas are defined as diverse and complex locations with a metabolism composed of multiple components and subsystems. Currently, more than 60% of the world’s population live in urban areas, a number expected to grow significantly. Most cities are unsustainable and often in ecological deficit; cities over- consume or pollute their natural resources, while unequal distribution of resources also occur. Thus, leading to serious economic and social imbalances, something that is possible to appreciate in developing nation-states. With population growth and economic concentration in urban areas, transport policies are forcing governments to seek innovative solutions for shaping and re-shaping existing and future transportation systems. Transport infrastructure related to congestion, accidents, local air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is a challenge for many major cities in the world. This study covers the political and socio-economical processes with regards to the environmental challenges in the Peruvian transport system. It includes an analysis of the strategies and indicators of good governance by the central, metropolitan and local governments, with the aim of identifying the main drivers and barriers to improving the current transport system in Lima. It is important to highlight that urban mobility is an important component of urban planning and is constituted by the urban transport system, land use, traffic management, inter-modality, accessibility and public space management, among other things. The appropriate approach to urban mobility joins the vision of a city with citizenship (Ministerio de Vivienda 2016). From an Urban Political Ecology (UPE) perspective, one can appreciate that the transport system in Lima seems directly derived from complex social, economic and political relations and where environmental challenges are less vocal (Robbins 2012). And seen from the Entrepreneurial or innovative state and as described by Schumpeter, the role that a state or governments hold is crucial in a well-functioning society in the context of a capitalism society. An efficient government is vital in providing goods and services, rules and institutions for ensuring that the market grows, as well as directing citizens to a more prosperous life. Without such a government, sustainable development in social and economical aspects is impossible. However, the results of this study not only presents several challenges to the structure of the national, regional and local governments in Lima, but also the various dimensions to these challenges that exist. These insights are important to highlight and address, as moving towards an urban transformation that is sustainable and durable will require considerable intervention from governments to achieve substantial reductions in GHG emissions.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis has as a general aim to analyse if and to what extent automated urban transport systems (AUTS) can provide more sustainable mobility in urban areas. AUTS is defined as a transport system with the following properties. AUTS consist of a fleet of road vehicles with fully automated driving capabilities for passenger transport on a network of roads with on-demand and door-to-door capability. The vehicle fleet is under control of a central management system in order to meet a particular demand in a particular environment. Key Findings are that various related systems and technologies which provide one or more of the functionalities of AUTS have proven to be feasible and to provide some of the benefits anticipated for AUTS. A number of early AUTS applications have already been used or tested since 1997; these systems have proven to be safe and reliable, but various perceived risks so far delayed a wider implementation. Users and stakeholders were able to envisage the potential of AUTS to improve urban mobility, but some concerns remained at this stage over technology being mature enough for systems in mixed traffic. After having used the system, public acceptance increased, as due to the innovative characteristics of AUTS, users who had no direct experience with the system before, developed a different attitude. AUTS vehicle performance parameters including acceleration, deceleration, and jerk are below benchmark values for comparable systems in terms of comfort and safety levels for passengers. AUTS as part of the multi-modal public transport system and with accompanying measures can improve .network efficiency and reduce travel times. The research has shown that there is large potential for AUTS to provide more sustainable mobility in urban areas. But a number of implementation barriers have been identified, which so far have hindered a more widespread and large-scale implementation of AUTS. Future work in this field therefore has to address these issues and to develop means to overcome these barriers in order to realise the potentials of AUTS. Furthermore sensor technologies and robotics algorithms have to be further improved, and new vehicle, infrastructure and operational concepts have to be developed for larger and more advanced systems.

Full textAbstract:
Gentrification is reshaping cities worldwide, resulting in seductive spaces and exclusive communities that aspire to innovation, creativity, sustainability, and technological sophistication. Gentrification is also contributing to growing social-spatial division and urban inequality and precarity. In a time of escalating housing crisis, unaffordable cities, and racial tension, scholars speak of eco-gentrification, techno-gentrification, super-gentrification, and planetary gentrification to describe the different forms and scales of involuntary displacement occurring in vulnerable communities in response to current patterns of development and the hype-driven discourses of the creative city, smart city, millennial city, and sustainable city. In this context, how do contemporary creative practices in art, architecture, and related fields help to produce or resist gentrification? What does gentrification look and feel like in specific sites and communities around the globe, and how is that appearance or feeling implicated in promoting stylized renewal to a privileged public? In what ways do the aesthetics of gentrification express contested conditions of migration and mobility? Addressing these questions, this book examines the relationship between aesthetics and gentrification in contemporary cities from multiple, comparative, global, and transnational perspectives.

AbstractUrban mobility and the transport of people have been increasing in volume inexorably for decades. Despite the advantages and opportunities mobility has brought to our society, there are also severe drawbacks such as the transport sector’s role as one of the main contributors to greenhouse-gas emissions and traffic jams. In the future, an increasing number of people will be living in large urban settings, and therefore, these problems must be solved to assure livable environments. The rapid progress of information and communication, and geographic information technologies, has paved the way for urban informatics and smart cities, which allow for large-scale urban analytics as well as supporting people in their complex mobile decision making. This chapter demonstrates how geosmartness, a combination of novel spatial-data sources, computational methods, and geospatial technologies, provides opportunities for scientists to perform large-scale spatio-temporal analyses of mobility patterns as well as to investigate people’s mobile decision making. Mobility-pattern analysis is necessary for evaluating real-time situations and for making predictions regarding future states. These analyses can also help detect behavioral changes, such as the impact of people’s travel habits or novel travel options, possibly leading to more sustainable forms of transport. Mobile technologies provide novel ways of user support. Examples cover movement-data analysis within the context of multi-modal and energy-efficient mobility, as well as mobile decision-making support through gaze-based interaction.

Full textAbstract:
Traffic system analysis and planning is a very complex process that requires quality input data collected on a relevant sample and over a relevant time period. The project Sustainable Urban Mobility Boost Smart Toolbox aims at development of the methodology (toolbox) in data rich reality, which is combining traditional and novel data science approach for transport system analysis and planning. It enables digital transformation of existing (traditional, ingrained) analytic methodologies by novel utilization of mobile network infrastructure as urban mobility data sources (spatio-temporal data on population migrations gathered from anonymized mobile network logs) and data science capabilities. The project is funded by the EIT Urban Mobility Regional Innovation Scheme RIS 2020. The end product will provide transport planners with insight in spatial distribution of commuters and their transport means. Also, it will propose methodology for the identification and implementation of the measures for improvement of the transport system based on input data. Primary goal of the Project is to provide universal methodology suitable for any city to create sustainable transport system.

This policy brief was developed in order to identify preliminary green /sustainable infrastructure opportunities for cities in Brazil. The rapidly growing green bond market can help local authorities to attract new sources of capital for financing subnational infrastructure. Water and sanitation, waste to energy and urban mobility were the sectors selected for an inicial assessment, given the investment needs in Brazilian municipalities and their alignment with low carbon development and resilience. This brief was also used to raise awareness across key infrastructure stakeholders in Brazil, and build a number of market education activities in the second semester of 2018.

Full textAbstract:
The urban population of Africa, the fastest urbanizing continent, has increased from 19% to 39% in the past 50 years, and the number of urban dwellers is projected to reach 770 million by 2030. However, while rapid urbanization has increased mobility and created a subsequent growth in demand for public transport in cities, this has not been met by the provision of adequate and sustainable infrastructure and services. The majority of low-income residents and the urban poor still lack access to adequate transport services and rely on non-motorized and public transport, which is often informal and characterized by poor service delivery. Lack of access to transport services limits access to opportunities that aren’t in the proximity of residential areas, such as education, healthcare, and employment. The urban public transport sector not only faces the challenge of poor service provision, but also of gender inequality. Research shows that, in the existing urban transport systems, there are significant differences in the travel patterns of and modes of transport used by women and men, and that these differences are associated with their roles and responsibilities in society. Moreover, the differences in travel patterns are characterized by unequal access to transport facilities and services. Women are generally underrepresented in the sector, in both its operation and decision-making. Women’s mobility needs and patterns are rarely integrated into transport infrastructure design and services and female users are often victims of harassment and assault. As cities rapidly expand, meeting the transport needs of their growing populations while paying attention to gender-differentiated mobility patterns is a prerequisite to achieving sustainability, livability and inclusivity. Gender mainstreaming in urban public transport is therefore a critical issue, but one which is under-researched in East Africa. This research explores gender issues in public transport in East Africa, focusing in particular on women’s inclusion in both public transport systems and transport policy decision-making processes and using case studies from three cities: Nairobi, Kampala and Dar es Salaam.

Full textAbstract:
Transport Network Companies (TNCs) have become a popular alternative for mobility due to their ability to provide on-demand flexible mobility services. By offering smartphone-based, ride-hailing services capable of satisfying specific travel needs, these modes have transformed urban mobility worldwide. However, to-date, few studies have examined the impacts in the Latin American context. This analysis is a critical first step in developing policies to promote efficient and sustainable transport systems in the Latin-American region. This research examines the factors affecting the adoption of on-demand ride services in Medellín, Colombia. It also explores whether these are substituting or competing with public transit. First, it provides a descriptive analysis in which we relate the usage of platform-based services with neighborhood characteristics, socioeconomic information of individuals and families, and trip-level details. Next, factors contributing to the election of platform-based services modeled using discrete choice models. The results show that wealthy and highly educated families with low vehicle availability are more likely to use TNCs compared to other groups in Medellín. Evidence also points at gender effects, with being female significantly increasing the probability of using a TNC service. Finally, we observe both transit complementary and substitution patterns of use, depending on the context and by whom the service is requested.

Full textAbstract:
Trucks serve significant amount of freight tonnage and are more susceptible to complex interactions with other vehicles in a traffic stream. While traffic congestion continues to be a significant ‘highway’ problem, delays in truck travel result in loss of revenue to the trucking companies. There is a significant research on the traffic congestion mitigation, but a very few studies focused on data exclusive to trucks. This research is aimed at a regional-level analysis of truck travel time data to identify roads for improving mobility and reducing congestion for truck traffic. The objectives of the research are to compute and evaluate the truck travel time performance measures (by time of the day and day of the week) and use selected truck travel time performance measures to examine their correlation with on-network and off-network characteristics. Truck travel time data for the year 2019 were obtained and processed at the link level for Mecklenburg County, Wake County, and Buncombe County, NC. Various truck travel time performance measures were computed by time of the day and day of the week. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was performed to select the average travel time (ATT), planning time index (PTI), travel time index (TTI), and buffer time index (BTI) for further analysis. On-network characteristics such as the speed limit, reference speed, annual average daily traffic (AADT), and the number of through lanes were extracted for each link. Similarly, off-network characteristics such as land use and demographic data in the near vicinity of each selected link were captured using 0.25 miles and 0.50 miles as buffer widths. The relationships between the selected truck travel time performance measures and on-network and off-network characteristics were then analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient analysis. The results indicate that urban areas, high-volume roads, and principal arterial roads are positively correlated with the truck travel time performance measures. Further, the presence of agricultural, light commercial, heavy commercial, light industrial, single-family residential, multi-family residential, office, transportation, and medical land uses increase the truck travel time performance measures (decrease the operational performance). The methodological approach and findings can be used in identifying potential areas to serve as truck priority zones and for planning decentralized delivery locations.
