Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Index of sustainable urban mobility'

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.

The 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.

In 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.
O estudo avaliou a condi??o da mobilidade urbana em Campinas atrav?s da aplica??o da ferramenta IMUS (?ndice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustent?vel), possibilitando a identifica??o dos indicadores cr?ticos da mobilidade urbana que devem ser priorizados pela administra??o p?blica. 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.

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.

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.

This dissertation examines the concept of sustainable mobility within an urban context. In essence, the research aims to answer the question, "What role does a city's built environment play, if any, in the sustainability of its mobility system?" To answer this question, I first derive an operational definition of sustainable mobility: maintaining the capability to provide non-declining accessibility in time. Providing non-declining accessibility depends on our ability to maintain net capital (natural, human-made, social) stocks, or, at least, the capability of these stocks to provide current levels of accessibility to future generations. In other words, we can think of a more sustainable mobility system as one that provides more welfare per unit of throughput, with welfare measured by accessibility and throughput measured by mobility. This is a normative framework. It can only indicate relative levels of sustainable mobility. Within a specific city, this framework can allow us to measure which parts of the city produce more sustainable mobility patterns. To employ this framework, I utilize a utility-derived accessibility measure.
(cont.) The attractiveness of a utility-based accessibility metric comes from its basis in welfare economics, its ability to account for individual characteristics and preferences, and the possibility for its derivation from the random utility-based models (e.g., logit), which have a long tradition of use in transportation planning. Also, drawing from the large research base exploring the role of the built environment on transportation, I develop several models that assess the influence of the built environment on travel behavior, in particular, motor vehicle ownership and use. These models, combined, enable the exploration of sustainable mobility within a given city. I apply the framework to the city of Santiago de Chile, utilizing data from a 2001 household travel survey and a 2001 real estate cadastre, specifying a nested destination and mode choice model, and examining a subset of discretionary trips by seven different travel modes. Variations by income, gender, and modal availability are explored. I conclude with a discussion of the implications in the face of current urban growth patterns in Santiago.

Este estudo apresenta uma avaliação do projeto BRT Transoeste, no município do Rio de Janeiro - RJ, sob a perspectiva da mobilidade e do desenvolvimento urbano sustentáveis. O BRT Transoeste consiste no primeiro sistema Bus Rapid Transit implantado no município e foi proposto inicialmente visando atender a compromisso, em termos de mobilidade urbana, da Prefeitura da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro com o Comitê Olímpico Internacional – COI para realização dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016. Este sistema, que atravessa bairros das Áreas de Planejamento 4 (Barra da Tijuca) e 5 (Zona Oeste) da cidade, foi concebido para exercer a função de sistema estruturador de transporte de passageiros de sua área de influência. Com o auxílio de Sistema de Informações Geográficas - SIG, foram analisados indicadores associados à cobertura espacial do sistema, às condições de circulação no espaço urbano, ao uso e a ocupação do solo e ao ordenamento territorial em sua Área de Influência Direta. Os resultados obtidos a partir da análise destes indicadores espaciais foram avaliados através de seis princípios de desenho ou projeto para cidades sustentáveis desenvolvidos pelo Grupo de Pesquisa Móbile, da COPPE/UFRJ. Estes princípios evidenciam a necessidade de integração do planejamento de transporte e do uso do solo para promoção da mobilidade e do desenvolvimento urbano sustentáveis.
This study presents a BRT Transoeste project evaluation in the city of Rio de Janeiro, from a sustainable mobility and urban development perspective. The BRT Transoeste is the first Bus Rapid Transit system implemented in the municipality and was proposed initially to fufill the agreement between Rio de Janeiro City Government and the International Olympic Committee for the 2016 Olympic Games. This system crossing the city neighborhoods in Planning Area 4 (Barra da Tijuca) and 5 (West Side) was envisioned to work as a passenger transportation structuring system for its area of influence. The Geographic Information System – GIS helped analyze indicators associated with the system s spatial coverage, urban space circulation conditions, land occupation, use and zoning laws in its direct area of influence. The Móbile Research Group (COPPE/UFRJ) developed six principles for sustainable city design to analyze results obtained for these spatial indicators. These principles make clear the need to integrate transportation and land use planning to promote sustainable mobility and urban development.

The "sustainability" literature generally acknowledges a critical role for transportation infrastructure planning, finance, investment, design, construction, operation, and management for addressing the long-term viability of cities and metropolitan areas. At the same time, governments have increasingly employed public-private partnerships (PPPs) for metropolitan transportation infrastructure with the goal of improving project finance, delivery, and long-term management and operation. While proponents of "sustainability" often imply a more collectivist and public-sector-led paradigm and proponents of liberalization often argue for greater private sector intervention and market competition, theory suggests that both sectors offer unique institutional attributes critical to achieving sustainable metropolitan mobility (SMM). The question is how to optimally configure institutions to address the challenge of SMM for metropolitan transportation infrastructure delivery? Focusing on highways, this thesis adopts a broad definition of SMM that compasses efficient road pricing and regulation, integration of metropolitan transportation policy, public acceptability, and technology. It employs a qualitative case study analysis to test theories on optimal institutional configurations against seven cases across the world where PPPs were used to deliver highway infrastructure in metropolitan areas. The results suggest that the distribution of network, traffic, and demand risks; the spatial configuration of highways within metropolitan areas; and political factors play key roles in achieving SMM. Additionally, issues of vertical devolution and integration of government institutions and contract regulation likely play important roles but require more in-depth research.

A cidade do Rio de Janeiro é protagonista de discussões jornalísticas e acadêmicas acerca de sua condição de centro turístico e cultural do Brasil. Ganham destaque temas relacionados às condições de mobilidade urbana existentes na metrópole. Sobre esse tema há desafios estruturais a superar: superlotação e difícil acesso a estações de ônibus, metrô e trens; congestionamento no trânsito de veículos no qual predomina o uso do veículo individual e precário sistema de sinalização de trânsito. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar as ações que o governo municipal promove para a melhoria do transporte urbano. Como e por quais motivos uma cidade que tem investido maciçamente em vários modais de transporte apresenta ainda tantos problemas nesses serviços? O problema é analisado sob dois pontos de vista: todo o arcabouço legal de que os governantes dispõem para o desenvolvimento do transporte público e a utilização de um Índice de Mobilidade Sustentável (IMS), construído a partir de conceitos que estruturam o referencial teórico apresentado, o qual seria capaz de medir a qualidade do transporte público e também orientar decisões futuras. O recorte do estudo trata da Região Administrativa São Cristóvão (VII Região Administrativa do Rio de Janeiro), área escolhida em virtude da multiplicidade de sua ocupação (moradia, educação, esporte, lazer, saúde, comércio, indústria, passagem entre bairros) e de sua privilegiada localização junto ao Centro da cidade, contando com diversas vias de acesso conferindo-lhe grande potencial logístico intermodal. O aproveitamento de tais características depende de decisões e investimentos públicos. No entanto, o planejamento falho do sistema de transporte carioca é evidenciado pelo resultado do cálculo do IMS específico para São Cristóvão. A baixa qualidade nos meios de transporte disponibilizados é discutida a partir da constatação de fatos como a preferência pelo transporte motorizado individual; engarrafamentos crescentes na região; superlotação dos meios de transporte nos horários de pico; precariedade na acessibilidade aos meios de transporte; e pouca integração entre os modais de transporte na região.
Rio de Janeiro city has a wide range of urban transportation. Subway, trains, buses, bike paths, cable cars and also water transportation. Recently, these modes have been awarded with public investments: expansion of the subway, modernization of railways, construction of dedicated lanes for buses and bicycle paths, and the number of boats on the water transport has increased. However, the improvement in the quality of urban mobility at the city is not perceived. Traffic jams, crashes in urban facilities, overcrowding of public transport and poor conditions of services are part of the public transport problems in the city. This research analyzes the VII Administrative Region São Cristóvão (VII RA-SC), comprising the following neighborhoods: São Cristóvão, Benfica, Mangueira and Vasco da Gama. These places have great passenger capacity of transport modes (train and subway) and also features several bus lines that make the interconnection with the rest of the city and also with nearby cities. The region also has several urban equipment, such as public parks, shopping and leisure centers, hospitals, museums, educational institutions and is also home to large companies in the telecommunications segments, engineering and oil industry. The overall objective of the research is to evaluate the VII RA-SC from the perspective of sustainable urban mobility from an index that incorporates the social, environmental and economic dimensions. The specific objectives for the development of analysis are reviewing the literature on sustainable urban mobility, the existing legal framework, characterization of the existing transport system in the VII RA-SC, modeling and calculation of Urban Mobility Index – São Cristóvão (IMS-SC). The calculation of IMS-SC has limitations due to the unavailability of recent data. Initially, the reporting period was the years 2012 to 2014. However, certain data only have surveys until 2012, therefore, researched period is between the years 2010 and 2012. The subject Urban Mobility can be subdivided into four sub-items: definition the concepts of Urban Mobility and Sustainable Urban Mobility, establish the connection between land use and planning of transport, defining the macroaccessbility and microaccesbility concepts and presentation of the legal framework in planning public transport in Brazil. Thus, draws up a panel of concepts on the subject and how the public planning has been organized according to the new concepts that have been introduced in the thematic discussion.

Sustainable transport planning is a complex issue and has become a great challenge for today’s decision makers. One of the biggest concerns is how sustainable mobility can be reached; where social and economic interests can work together with environmental interests. By looking into a special case of transport planning in Åriket, Uppsala this paper analyses the decision making process as well as the response from other stakeholders presented as contesting story lines. The results show there are weaknesses in the planning process, where too few alternatives have been looked at and the methods used has not been able to handle the complex issues of sustainable development in an adequate way. From the contested story lines the different opinions in the question has been identified as either being a part of the old conventional transport paradigm or a part of the new sustainable mobility paradigm, which can be used as a guideline for the decision makers in what way to go for reaching sustainable mobility.

The opportunities we have to move around the city, otherwise known as urban mobility, are intrinsically linked to both local industrial output as well as the physical possibilities of moving provided by the landscape of the urban environment. With the advent of automotive congestion solidifying itself as a reality as populations in urban centres continue to rise, the conspicuous question is: If we continue the way we’re going, what happens next? This thesis explores the influence of new technologies and the data that drives them on the mechanisms of planning mobility in urban centres, as well as the potential of adoption of innovative mobility solutions that address environmental concerns through insights that higher resolution data can provide. Statistical data sets have been used in the past in order to justify urban interventions and shifts in the established landscape, to collectively move citizens and their production towards spatial outcomes that hinge from directives of governance. More recently these shifts have been in a bid to address the overarching awareness of changes in the natural environment due to industrial (and therefore human) intervention. Moving into a future when there is a higher resolution of quantitative data harvested from abroad consumer base it becomes possible to enhance the city planning process by linking close to-real-time supply and demand. The central proposition of this thesis is that unique value propositions of mobility consumer markets should be driven by the needs of people, rather than the capabilities of technology and industry. There are obvious real-world ramifications for changes in the way citizens move around the city; the sizing of streets, noise levels of automobiles, access and egress points, the distance between points of interest and the capabilities of the fixed built infrastructure to accommodate change. This body of research focus’ on the connection enabled by putting people, rather than technical solutions at the centre of the sustainability debate.

Today, one of the greatest concerns for companies is how well their business will fit their future markets. However, predicting how the future will unfold is almost impossible for many industries, but companies that fail to prepare their products for future markets will most likely face substantial problems. Consequently, many companies have drawn their interest to product development strategies that cope with an unpredictable future, and research has highlighted Modularization as one such strategy. Nevertheless, there are no current methods that integrate future studies into the modularization process. Besides, there are no methods that evaluate the resilience of modular configurations against future scenarios. In the absence of such methods, this study targets the gap between future studies and modularization. The objective is to explore how scenario modeling can be used in the modularization process to evaluate the fitness of modular configurations against future conditions. The study scope is a simplified inter-urban transport mission with a particular focus on battery-electric and fuel-cell electric trucks. To meet the objective, this study builds upon a scenario framework from previous research that provides possible but yet distinctive futures within the transportation industry. Further, the future scenarios are bridged to the modularization process by transitioning the most important customer values from the scenarios to measurable design variables. Subsequently, by assigning weights to the customer values in accordance with scenario narratives, the overall efficiency of 42 unique modular configurations could be evaluated against the presumed importance of future customer values. Those findings were used to assess the relative performance of modules with respect to multiple futures and to provide reflections on the most and least robust modular design and configuration choices across multiple futures. In summary, the contribution from this method is shown to be two-fold. On the one hand, the model can provide insights and directions on the future resilience of modular concepts in the early stages of product development processes. On the other hand, it can be used in recurring performance assessments of modular configurations and guide optimization of module variants to prepare modular product configurations for multiple scenarios.
Ett av de största bekymren för företag idag är alltjämt hur bra deras verksamhet kommer möta framtidens kundbehov. Emellertid är det nästan omöjligt att förutspå hur framtiden kommer utvecklas inom många branscher, men samtidigt möter företag överhängande operationella förluster om de misslyckas med att adressera framtidens behov. Föga förvånande har många företag börjat intressera sig för flexibla produktutvecklingsstrategier som kan hantera en oförutsägbar framtid och tidigare forskning har belyst Modularisering som en sådan strategi. Däremot finns det i dagsläget inga nuvarande metoder som tar hänsyn till framtidsstudier i modulariseringsprocessen. Dessutom verkar det inte finnas några metoder som utvärderar effektiviteten hos modulära konfigurationer med avseende på olika framtidsscenarier. I avsaknad av sådana metoder riktar sig detta examensarbete mot gapet mellan framtidsstudier och modularisering av produkter. Syftet är att undersöka hur scenariomodellering kan användas i modulariseringsprocessen för att utvärdera robustheten hos moduler gentemot olika framtidsscenarier. Studien är avgränsad mot inter-urbana transportuppdrag med ett särskilt fokus på batteridrivna och vätgasdrivna lastbilar. För att uppnå forskningssyftet bygger uppsatsen på scenariomodellering från tidigare forskning som bidrar med en uppsättning av möjliga men ändå distinkta framtidsscenarier. Vidare kunde framtidsscenarierna sammanlänkas med modulariseringsprocessen genom att extrahera de viktigaste kundvärdena från framtidsscenarierna och översätta dessa till mätbara design variabler. Därefter kunde den totala effektiviteten för 42 unika lastbilskonfigurationer utvärderas mot framtidakundvärden genom att tilldela kundvärdena olika signifikansnivåer baserat på framtidsscenarierna. Dessaresultat användes för att bedöma konfigurationernas relativa prestanda mot olika framtidsscenarier. Resultatet användes också till att samla in data om modulernas robusthet och sedermera analysera lämpligheten hos enskilda moduler. Sammanfattningsvis bedöms bidraget från metoden vara av dubbel karaktär. Å ena sidan kan metoden ge insikter om den framtida lämpligheten hos modulära koncept i ett tidigt skede av produktutvecklingsprocessen. Samtidigt kan metoden användas i återkommande utvärderingar av modulkonfigurationer och som ledsagning för att optimera modulvarianter och förbereda modulära produktkonfigurationer mot flera framtidsscenarier.

As in the EU more than 70% of inhabitants live in urban areas, acting for achieving more efficient and low-carbon mobility is crucial to ensure sustainable urban systems and to tackle important challenges such as reduction of CO2 emissions, air and noise pollution and traffic congestion. Identifying effective strategies and designing solutions that boost multimodal mobility and effective interchange among different sustainable means of transport can be a relevant contribution in this sense. This thesis has been developed in the framework of the Interreg Europe MATCH-UP project and aims to give a contribution for achieving this goal. After a general overview about the concepts of intermodality and initiatives undertaken at European and Italian levels for boosting a more efficient and sustainable mobility, the research identified different transport nodes that occur in urban environments and the features that lead to successful experiences. Consequently, a set of key factors that ensure the efficiency and urban integration of the nodes within the urban environment has been identified. This identification of the key factors has been the starting point for defining an articulated evaluation system that has the aim of identifying the main shortcomings of existing transport nodes and supporting their redevelopment and reorganization. The evaluation system was designed by rating the weight of the different key factors according with the importance of the different interchange nodes (rank) and the services to be provided, in order to establish which are the most appropriate in each situation. Therefore the thesis proposes a methodology for the evaluation of new projects, making evident their enhanced effectiveness in the different domains that affect a transport node. Finally, the methodology has been applied to the case study of Rimini’s railway station, where a new redevelopment of the station and its surroundings is foreseen.

El planeamiento urbano empieza a estar fuertemente focalizado en la provisión de redes adecuadas de infraestructuras que estimulen el desarrollo de una movilidad sostenible. Sin embargo, la integración de criterios ambientales en el diseño y gestión de las infraestructuras necesarias para el sustento de la movilidad urbana es mínima. Teniendo en cuenta la enorme extensión y la creciente inversión global en el despliegue de nuevas infraestructuras urbanas para el sustento de la movilidad sostenible, la carga ambiental aportada al espacio público de las ciudades puede ser significativa. Esta tesis doctoral se centra en la caracterización del comportamiento ambiental del ciclo de vida de diseños convencionales de aceras de hormigón, asfalto y granito e instalaciones para la recarga de vehículos eléctricos de dos ruedas. Las aceras son pavimentos urbanos básicos implementados para el sustento de la actividad peatonal y ciclista como los modos de movilidad urbana más limpios. A su vez, las aceras son la matriz sobre la cual se distribuye un abanico diverso de elementos urbanos relacionados con el soporte de la movilidad sostenible. Las instalaciones para la recarga de vehículos eléctricos son un elemento urbano que se está implementando masivamente en las ciudades para promover la electrificación del parque de vehículos urbanos como una estrategia prometedora para reducir significativamente el consumo de petróleo y las emisiones contaminantes de la movilidad motorizada. A través de la aplicación de la metodología de Análisis del Ciclo de Vida se identifican los diseños ambientalmente más óptimos para reducir la carga ambiental aportada al espacio público y contribuir a incrementar el valor ambiental de promover la movilidad sostenible en las ciudades. Asimismo, la tesis busca identificar soluciones para mejorar el comportamiento ambiental de aquellos elementos que presentan un alto impacto con el fin de incrementar las ventajas ambientales alcanzadas en la escala urbana. Por un lado, se analiza desde una perspectiva de Ecología Industrial el potencial de producción limpia de losas de granito utilizadas en construcción. Por otro lado, se aplican principios de ecodiseño en la conceptualización de una eco-pergola (mobiliario urbano) que puede contribuir a sustentar una movilidad urbana multimodal (peatonal y bicicleta eléctrica). Como resultado del desarrollo de la tesis doctoral, se proveen inventarios completos y desagregados de los recursos movilizados (energía, agua y materiales) e impactos ambientales asociados a cada elemento objeto de estudio, se identifican puntos críticos y se definen una serie de criterios y buenas prácticas para la toma de decisiones que conlleven a optimizar el comportamiento del espacio público de las ciudades.
Urban planning starts to be heavily focused on the provision of adequate networks of urban infrastructures to stimulate a shift towards sustainable mobility in order to alleviate resource consumption and environmental impacts in cities. Nevertheless, the integration of life cycle environmental criteria in the design and management of the urban infrastructures required to support sustainable mobility is usually missing. Given the vast span and increasing global investment in the deployment of new infrastructure, the environmental burden imposed to the urban public space can be significant. This dissertation concentrates on the characterization of the life-cycle environmental performance of conventional designs of (concrete, asphalt and granite) sidewalks and charging facilities for electric vehicles (two-wheelers). Sidewalks are basic urban pavements implemented to support walking and cycling as the cleanest modes of urban mobility. Sidewalks also represent the matrix for the layout of different urban elements required to support sustainable mobility. Charging facilities for electric vehicles represent one urban element being heavily implemented in cities to encourage the electricification of the urban vehicle fleet as a promising strategy to cut oil consumption and pollutant emissions from motorized mobility. Life Cycle Assessment is applied in order to identify the most environmentally-friendly solutions and best practices to minimize the environmental burden imposed to the urban public space, thereby increasing the value of greening urban mobility. The dissertation also looks for solutions to improve the environmental performance of those product systems with high environmental footprint in order to achieve major environmental improvements at the urban scale. On the one hand, the potential for cleaner industrial production of granite tiles used in construction is analyzed from an Industrial Ecology approach (technological improvement, rainwater harvesting and by-product synergies). On the other hand, ecodesign principles are applied in the conceptualization of an eco-pergola (street furniture) that can contribute to support multimodal (pedestrian and e-bike) mobility. As a result, this dissertation provides complete and disaggregated inventory data of the mobilized resources (energy, water, materials) and environmental impacts of the life cycle of each product system, identifies the most relevant hot-spots for environmental improvement and defines a set of criteria and best-practices for sustainability-based decision-making to minimize the environmental burden of the urban public space.

La thèse étudie la façon dont le design urbain peut être une stratégie pour promouvoir les mobilités zéro émission, dans le cadre d’une mobilité quotidienne, telles que la marche, le vélo et les transports en commun. Ce travail explore les connaissances des praticiens du design urbain bâti, à savoir des urbanistes, des aménageurs, des architectes ainsi que des paysagistes, en tant qu’une source complémentaire s’ajoutant à celles issues de la recherché. Des enquêtes ont été menées en France et en Norvège. Les résultats ont été croisés avec la littérature scientifique ainsi qu’avec la littérature issue du design urbain. Un changement modal permanent requiert que l’utilisation de modes zéro émission soit à la fois une possibilité et un plaisir. L’influence du design urbain sur les choix modaux est particulièrement importante durant le voyage, lorsque l’usager se déplace à travers la ville et ses espaces publics. En particulier, les interactions avec l’environnement bâti, à l’échelle d’un quartier, influencent la manière dont la personne se souviendra de son déplacement. Ce souvenir impactera, dans un second temps, ses futurs choix modaux. Ces interactions sont d’autant plus importantes dans le cas de la marche et du vélo, ce qui impacte directement l’utilisation des transports en commun
The doctoral thesis explores how urban design can be a mobility-mitigation strategy to promote the use of zero-emission modes such as walking, cycling, and public transport. What is the potential contribution of neighbourhood-scale built-environment interventions towards a sustainable modal shift? The work explores the experience-based knowledge of urban design practitioners (urban planners and designers, architects, landscape architects) as a source for new insights, complementary to those of research. A mixed-methods approach was employed in France and in Norway, consisting of workshops, interviews, and a survey. The results were crossed with findings from research and design literature, analyzed from an interdisciplinary, holistic perspective. The results show that achieving a permanent modal shift requires the use of zero-emission choices to be both possible and pleasurable. The influence of urban design is likely most significant during trips, when a person moves through a city and its public spaces. Interactions with the neighbourhood-scale built environment influences overall travel satisfaction, and the remembered trip experience matters for future modal choices. Modal choices are highly individual; people’s barriers for a zero-emission choice vary. Urban design interventions can help lower these, through bigger or smaller measures

Urbana områden har formats efter den bilnorm som råder i modern tid. Detta har belastat miljön och medfört att städer idag står inför det stora arbetet att ställa om till hållbara samhällen. Hållbara mobilitetslösningar har blivit ett aktuellt ämne som följd av denna problematik. Viktiga aktörer i arbetet med åtgärder för hållbar urban mobilitet är fastighetsutvecklare. Syftet med studien är att undersöka fastighetsutvecklares roll i arbetet med hållbart resande vid uppbyggnaden av en ny stadsdel. Tre områden i Västra Hamnen i Malmö har bedömts relevanta och fungerar som fallstudier. Med hjälp av teorier kring ämnet hållbar urban mobilitet samt semistrukturerade intervjuer och dokumentanalys har frågeställningarna undersökts och diskuterats. Studiens slutsatser visar att fastighetsutvecklare har en betydande roll i implementeringen av hållbar mobilitet vid nybyggnation. Vidare identifieras parkeringsnormen som ett viktigt verktyg. Studien belyser vidare vikten av åtgärder för beteendeförändring, samt planering anpassad för målgrupp.
Urban areas are shaped after the existing automobile dependency in modern time. This has burdened the environment and resulted in a need for cities to evolve into sustainable places. Sustainable mobility measures have become an urgent matter as a result of this problem. An important actor in the work with mobility measures for a sustainable urban mobility are developers. The purpose of this study is to examine developers’ role in the work with sustainable travel when a new city area is under development. Three areas in the Western Harbour in Malmö have been deemed relevant as case studies. Theories about sustainable urban mobility together with semi-structured interviews and document analyses served to examine and discuss the formulated questions. The conclusions of the study show that developers have a prominent role in the implementation of sustainable mobility in new city areas. Furthermore, the parking standards are identified as an important tool. The study illuminates the importance of measures for behavioral changes as well as planning for a targeted group

Understanding household long-term decisions concerning residential location/relocation, car ownership and short-term activity travel choices are crucial for land use and transport planning. However, when addressing these issues, multitudes of choice models applying individual or unitary household decision-making mechanisms have dominated in transport studies, ignoring the interactions among household members in consensual decision making in real situations. To promote the investigation of these issues from a group decision-making perspective, this study explores the applicability of various group decision-making approaches to investigate multiple long-term decisions and short-term choices. Specifically, this thesis has four main research objectives: 1) adopt a utilitarian approach to develop an integrated model that links household members' consensual long-term decisions like housing, vehicle ownership and short-term activity-travel decisions like time use, explicitly capturing expenditure tradeoff for long-term decisions on housing and car ownership; 2) employ the Nash bargaining approach to model household members' consensual car ownership choice and examine this choice from the perspective of household time allocation; 3) apply an egalitarian bargaining approach (capture household members' concern for equity) to model household residential relocation choice, make a comparative study among this approach, Nash bargaining approach, and conventional utilitarian approach, and then accommodate these heterogeneous group decision mechanisms in a unified modeling framework; 4) examine the impacts of vehicle usage rationing policy on household car ownership and spouses' time allocation patterns. The database that serves for empirical applications of the formulated models is from a two-wave household activity-travel diary survey conducted in Beijing. This thesis contributes to current literature by adopting new approaches to investigate various group decision-making mechanisms among household members, comparing and assessing the predictive performance of different group decision approaches, as well as explicitly capturing household's long-term expenditure tradeoff. Insights and findings from this study are helpful for gaining profound understanding of spatial distribution of residence, household car ownership and individuals' activity-travel patterns, which will be conducive to the formulation of relevant policies for sustainable urban development.

O objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para a discussão sobre como as organizações podem desenvolver modelos de negócio que promovam a mobilidade urbana sustentável, diante da relevância crescente que as discussões sobre o futuro da mobilidade e das cidades como um todo tem assumido em diversas áreas da ciência. Parte-se da ideia de que a concentração da produção de bens e serviços em grandes centros urbanos tem acentuado cada vez mais o desafio de reduzir a dependência do veículo privado para promover alternativas que promovam a mobilidade sustentável, visto que o uso crescente deste modal trouxe reduções significativas nos padrões de qualidade do deslocamento das pessoas, além de impactar diretamente as funções econômica, ambiental e social das cidades. Nesse contexto, têm emergido diversos atores interessados em desenvolver novos modelos de negócio no campo da mobilidade urbana, expandindo as fronteiras de um setor que anteriormente vinha sendo regido, principalmente, pelas regras da indústria automotiva. No entanto, embora a literatura tenha discutido sobre como cada vez mais modelos de negócios são relevantes diante dos desafios da mobilidade sustentável, menor atenção tem sido dedicada para compreender o que de fato caracteriza um modelo de negócio orientado à mobilidade urbana sustentável. Para preencher essa lacuna de pesquisa, recorreu-se a uma análise tanto da literatura de mobilidade urbana sustentável quanto à de modelos de negócio sustentáveis. A partir do resultado da intersecção entre essas literaturas, foi proposto um modelo conceitual que abrange oito tipologias pelas quais um modelo de negócio pode promover a mobilidade sustentável, além de aspectos que caracterizam esses modelos de forma transversal. O modelo conceitual foi testado empiricamente em seis modelos de negócio alinhados às tipologias definidas, com base em um estudo de casos múltiplos de caráter exploratório. O resultado do estudo de campo evidenciou outras variáveis relevantes que devem ser consideradas na caracterização de modelos de negócio orientados à mobilidade urbana sustentável no contexto brasileiro, além de barreiras associadas ao desenvolvimento dessas iniciativas. Dessa forma, o resultado da pesquisa permitiu enriquecer o modelo conceitual proposto inicialmente com a incorporação de novas dimensões de análise, bem como obter uma perspectiva mais ampla sobre a compreensão de modelos de negócio orientados à mobilidade urbana sustentável.
The objective of this research is to contribute to the discussion about how organizations may develop business models oriented to sustainable urban mobility, given the growing relevance that discussions about the future of mobility and cities have assumed in several areas of knowledge. It is based on the idea that the concentration of the production of goods and services in large urban centers has increasingly accentuated the challenge of reducing dependence on private car use to providing alternatives that promote sustainable mobility, because the use of the previous modal has produced significant reductions in people\'s travel quality standards and has directly affected the economic, environmental, and social functions of cities. In this context, several actors have emerged interested in developing new business models in urban mobility field, expanding frontiers previously dominated exclusively by the automotive industry players. However, although researchers have increasingly examined how business models promote sustainable urban mobility, less attention has been focused on what constitutes business models oriented to sustainable urban mobility. To fill this research gap, a theoretical analysis of sustainable urban mobility and sustainable business models was made. From the result of this literature intersection, a conceptual framework was proposed and organized in eight typologies by which a business model could promote sustainable mobility, besides some aspects that characterize these models in a transversal way. The conceptual framework was empirically tested in six business models aligned to the defined typologies, based on an exploratory multiple case study. The results of the empirical study revealed other relevant variables that should be considered in order to characterize business models oriented to sustainable urban mobility in Brazil context, in addition to some barriers associated with the development of these initiatives. In this way, the research results allowed to enrich the conceptual framework proposed initially with the incorporation of new analysis dimensions, as well as to obtain a broader perspective on how business models can promote sustainable urban mobility.

A transportation system is a critical infrastructure that is key for mobility in any community. Natural hazards can cause failure in transportation infrastructure and impede its routine performance. Ecological systems are resilient systems that are very similar to transportation systems. Diversity is a fundamental factor in ecological resilience, and it is recognized as an important property of transportation resilience. However, quantifying transportation diversity remains challenging, which makes it difficult to understand the influence of diversity on transportation performance and resilience. Consequently, three studies are undertaken to remedy this circumstance. The first study develops a novel approach – inspired by biodiversity in ecological stability theory – to characterize and measure transportation diversity by its richness (availability) and evenness (distribution). This transportation diversity approach is then applied to New York City (NYC) at the zip code level using the GIS data of transportation modes. The results demonstrate the variation of transportation diversity across the city. The characterized inherent and augmented complementarities start to uncover the dynamics of modal compensation and to demonstrate how transportation diversity contributes to this phenomenon. Moreover, the NYC zip codes with low transportation diversity are mainly in hurricane evacuation zones that are more vulnerable. Consequently, low transportation diversity in these areas could affect their post-disaster mobility. In the second study, the influence of transportation diversity on post-disaster mobility is examined by investigating the patterns of mobility in New York City one month before and after Hurricane Sandy using Twitter data. To characterize pre- and post-Sandy mobility patterns, the locations that individuals visited frequently were identified and travel distance, the radius of gyration, and mobility entropy were measured. Individuals were grouped according to the transportation diversity of their frequently visited locations. The findings reveal that individuals that lived in or visited zip codes with higher transportation diversity mostly experienced less disturbance in their mobility patterns after Sandy and the recovery of their mobility patterns was faster. The results confirm that transportation diversity affects the resilience of individual post-disaster mobility. The approach used in this study is one of the first to examine the root causes of changes in mobility patterns after extreme events by linking transportation infrastructure diversity to post-disaster mobility. Finally, the third study employs the transportation diversity approach to investigate modal accessibility and social exclusion. Transportation infrastructure is a sociotechnical system and transport equity is crucial for access to opportunities and services such as jobs and infrastructure. The social exclusion caused by transport inequity could be intensified after natural disasters that can cause failure in a transportation system. One approach to determine transport equity is access to transportation modes. Common catchment area approaches to assess the equity of access to transportation modes cannot differentiate between the equity of access to modes in sub-regions of an area. The transportation diversity approach overcomes this shortcoming, and it is applied to all transportation modes in NYC zip codes to measure the equity of access. Zip codes were grouped in quartiles based on their transportation diversity. Using the American Community Survey data, a set of important socioeconomic and transport usage factors were compared in the quartile groups. The results indicated the relationship between transportation diversity and income, vehicle ownership, commute time, and commute mode. This relationship highlighted that social exclusion is linked with transport inequity. The results also revealed that the inequity of the transport system in zip codes with low transportation diversity affects poor individuals more than non-poor and the zip codes with a majority of black and Hispanic populations are impacted more. 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. Together, these three studies illustrate the influence of transportation diversity on the resilience of this infrastructure. They 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, these studies 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.

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.

Nesta dissertação são analisados os impactos da implantação de medidas de gerenciamento da mobilidade (GM) em uma área urbana localizada na cidade de Porto Alegre com vários pólos atratores de viagens. O GM – abordagem européia do gerenciamento da demanda de viagens – busca uma mobilidade urbana mais sustentável, tentando influir no comportamento de viagem das pessoas. São discutidos seu conceito, suas ferramentas, medidas e serviços de transporte, incluindo exemplos de implantação no mundo. Foram escolhidas duas medidas de GM, dentro de um pacote de medidas a serem implantadas pelo projeto Moviman na área de estudo, localizada na zona leste de Porto Alegre, onde atualmente há uma universidade (PUCRS), hospitais, um shopping center, hipermercados, entre outros estabelecimentos. A primeira medida analisada foi a carona programada, uso compartilhado de um automóvel com divisão de custos. Foi feita uma pesquisa com alunos da PUCRS para verificar sua receptividade em relação a esta medida. A partir dos resultados desta pesquisa, foi avaliado o possível impacto da implantação desta medida no tráfego da área de estudo. Também foi feita pesquisa com trabalhadores de uma empresa local para comparar a receptividade a esta medida por usuários diferentes. A segunda medida foi a implantação de um Sistema de Informação ao Usuário (SIU) de transporte coletivo em duas paradas de ônibus, através da realização de pesquisas de importância e satisfação, para priorizar as informações e de uma pesquisa final de satisfação e análise de intenção de mudança modal causada pelo SIU. Os resultados demonstram que a carona programada é uma medida com boa receptividade entre os grupos-alvo pesquisados, que causa uma melhora das condições de tráfego locais. E um novo SIU nas paradas de ônibus é uma medida de qualificação do transporte coletivo com um bom potencial de atração de novos usuários e de fidelização dos atuais. Portanto, comprovouse o impacto positivo da implantação destas medidas de GM em uma cidade brasileira, pois ambas atenderam aos objetivos de uma mobilidade urbana sustentável sem a limitação da mobilidade das pessoas.
This dissertation presents the evaluation of the impacts produced by mobility management (MM) measures introduced in an urban area, with many trip production centers, located in Porto Alegre city, southern Brazil. The MM, European approach of travel demand management, aims a more sustainable urban mobility, trying to influence in the travel behavior of people. Their concepts, tools, measures and transport services are discussed, including other implantation examples worldwide. Two MM measures were chosen within a package of measures that would be implemented by the Moviman project in the studied area. The selected area, situated in the east zone of Porto Alegre, holds a university (PUCRS), hospitals, a shopping center, among others commercial establishments. The first analyzed measure was carpooling, shared use of an automobile with division of costs, using the application of a survey with university students, from PUCRS, to verify their receptivity in relation to this alternative transportation mode. The survey results were used for the analysis of possible impacts of this measure in the traffic of the study area. A survey with workers of a local company was done to compare the receptivity with these measures in distinct users. The second measure was the installation of a public transport user information system (UIS) in two bus stops, using importance and satisfaction surveys in order to define information priorities, and a final survey of satisfaction and analysis of modal change intention caused by UIS. The results demonstrate that carpooling is a transport measure with good receptivity among the target groups, and improves the local traffic conditions. Moreover the installation of new UIS in bus stops is a measure of qualification of the public transportation with good potential for attraction of new users and consolidation of actual users. Therefore, the impacts of MM measures in a Brazilian city were positive, considering that both measures reach the goal of sustainable mobility without limiting people mobility.

Windhoek has several inherited structural challenges that include a trend of decreasing densities of urban settlements, along with social inequalities and highly skewed levels of access and mobility. The most vulnerable members of the society in Windhoek currently carry the majority of the transportation costs and inconveniences. Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) in Eveline Street forms a significant part of the daily activity of people as they commute to and from public transport stops and stations, places of work, places of education and walking to water collection points and means of creating a living. The implementation of Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) facilities as a manner of supporting NMT trips has been largely neglected in Eveline Street thus, exposing NMT users to road accidents. Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) is a core aspect in the development of a sustainable transport system for the City of Windhoek. Its importance derives from the high percentage of persons in Windhoek who depends on NMT, as well as its economic and ecological efficiency compared to Motorised Transport (MT) on distances up to approximately 5 km. Approximately 20% of Windhoek's households can afford to own a car, therefore roads alone are not enough to secure social sustainability and only worsens already existing income inequality (Araes, 2007). Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) supplements public transport, contributes to lively urban quarters and is an integral part of the transport system of Windhoek. Low income households in Windhoek spend up to one quarter (25%) of their income on transport (Zwicky et al., 2013). Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) users are the most vulnerable traffic-group, often involved in severe accidents and there is a need for special attention and provision to enable, strengthen and develop NMT as a proper and feasible mode of transport in Windhoek. Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) has an important role to play in greening the economy in the context of providing and promoting more sustainable transport options, forming part of more cost-effective solutions in establishing a sustainable transport system to improve economic progression for the residents of Windhoek. The main motivating reason for this research was to investigate the current opportunities and challenges being experienced that affects the promotion of the Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) in providing a sustainable urban mobility within Eveline Street in the Windhoek Municipal area, Namibia. This study further seeks to examine the potential and sustainability for effective transportation planning for Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) and its effects in the reduction of Motorised Transport (MT) congestion in the area. In Windhoek, the main types of Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) users are pedestrians (majority type) and cyclists (minority type). The research paper aims to come up with the conclusive proposals and possible intervention measures that will help in the provision and management of Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) infrastructure to ensure a sustainable urban transport system. Thus, helping Windhoek municipality, Namibian government, stakeholders and practitioners to make better informed decisions when addressing the transport challenges of NMT users in urban areas. The scope of the research was limited to Non-Motorised Transport (NMT), more specifically, walking and cycling as a mode of transport in the infamous Eveline Street in the high density suburb of Greenwell Matongo in the area of Katutura in the greater Windhoek municipality. Eveline Street being used as a case study to understand what potential value NMT trips could be for Windhoek. There are various benefits to Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) as a mode of transport. Safety benefits of successful NMT facilities include lower risk of road collisions, injuries and fatalities, while there are also several health benefits of NMT trips, which include lowered levels of stress, obesity and other Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). NonMotorised Transport (NMT), as a mode of transport, is one of the most sustainable modes of transport, as it does not rely on fuel and, is one of the cleanest modes of transportation. Furthermore, Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) trips have various socio-economic benefits that help to address equality concerns, which are highly relevant for pedestrians in Windhoek. An example, of how improved NMT trips could address equality issues, would be increasing the mobility and accessibility of vulnerable members of society. This can be for socio-economic reasons or physical and mental abilities that influence the individual's ability to commute. The research methodology involved the review of literature, primary and secondary data collection, validation and analysis, interpretation and subsequent recommendations to address urban mobility challenges and policy recommendations to promote NMT for Windhoek Municipality. The methodology comprises surveys, traffic counts; direct observation and behavioral studies. The tools used included questionnaires, tally sheets, walkability audit tool, maps and photographs. The secondary data was obtained mainly through the literature review of the existing work by academic and researchers on NMT, land use and transport planning, institutional setup and policy administration. Other sources of secondary data included universities, libraries, internet, GIZ Studies, MVA Namibia, SUTMP, Local authorities records, Namibia Statistics Agency, and Government documents on transport and environment. The data was collected by administering roadside questionnaire, direct observations of behavior and the walkability of the area, interviewing key informants, photographs and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) locations.

Tese de Doutoramento em Arquitetura com a especialização em Desenho e Computação apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção de grau de Doutor.
Os aglomerados urbanos em rápido crescimento contribuem e enfrentam hoje, as consequências de crises globais, como a poluição, as alterações climáticas, a diminuição dos recursos naturais, conflitos sociais e migrações em massa. O planeamento e projecto do ambiente construído são essenciais para uma correcta organização da vida urbana, de modo a reduzir a poluição, distribuir recursos de maneira justa, fortalecer laços sociais e comunitários e prosperar economicamente. Projectar cidades incentivando a pedestrianização como meio de transporte constitui uma contribuição para esses objectivos, facilitando a mitigação da poluição, o acesso livre e democrático aos recursos urbanos, revitalizando as ruas e consequentemente apoiando as economias locais. Embora a investigação sobre a pedestrianização e caminhabilidade do ambiente construído já tenha décadas, temos hoje dados urbanos atualizados e ferramentas mais precisas do que nunca, que permitem uma análise detalhada dos factores que promovem a pedestrianização, podendo suportar decisões baseadas em evidências para o desenvolvimento de uma mobilidade mais sustentável. Tais ferramentas de planeamento viabilizam também uma melhor integração destes dados nos processos de projecto bem como a sua comunicação aos vários agentes participantes na decisão. Esta dissertação defende a necessidade de um método de análise 3D à escala da rua para informar soluções flexíveis de projecto urbano baseadas em dados urbanos rapidamente actualizáveis e acessíveis remotamente, obtidos sem a necessidade de pesquisas no local. Este método preenche uma lacuna existente na literatura propondo um fluxo de trabalho semi-automático. Este fluxo de trabalho propõe-se solucionar a desconexão entre a investigação no campo da pedestrianização, as ferramentas existentes e os processos de planeamento e projecto urbano. Argumenta-se que essa desconexão resulta da priorização de preocupações financeiras nos processos de planeamento e desenho urbano e da falta de métodos de avaliação rápidos e práticos aplicáveis nas várias etapas e escalas de projecto e de um modo fragmentado ou holístico. Além disso, os métodos existentes de avaliação da caminhabilidade que avaliam contextos urbanos nestas escalas e detalhe, não são capazes de avaliar ruas através de dados urbanos acedidos remotamente, recorrendo geralmente a auditorias ou pesquisas onerosas e morosas no local. O fluxo de trabalho proposto neste estudo visa responder a esta necessidade; combina um modelo 3D de uma unidade de vizinhança desenvolvido num ambiente de programação visual, SIG e códigos personalizados, e utiliza um modelo de análise morfológica chamado Convex e Solid-Void, combinado com técnicas de Web-scrapping e reconhecimento de imagem. A dissertação contribui para a investigação sobre caminhabilidade, propondo um fluxo de trabalho de análise de caminhabilidade em escala micro, em 3D, e remotamente aplicável, além de distinguir indicadores aplicáveis a ruas com diferentes formas e usos. O método promove o modelo computacional de análise urbana, Convex e Solid-Void, apresentando a sua primeira aplicação ao problema urbano da caminhabilidade. Também demonstra a integração de fontes de dados acessíveis remotamente, incluindo imagens de Street View obtidas de uma plataforma de mapas on-line e dados de redes sociais geo-localizados, para a avaliação quantitativa dos espaços urbanos. De futuro, pretende-se desenvolver o método para permitir o acesso remoto da avaliação a várias dessas fontes de dados. Tal é possível pelo uso combinado de SIG com representações espaciais 3D e ferramentas de programação integradas no mesmo fluxo de trabalho. Estes ambientes, que facilitam a associação de elementos espaciais com informações semânticas por meio de bases de dados, possibilitam a utilização de quaisquer dados que possam ser processados em análise espacial para alimentação de processos de projecto gerativo. O resultado desta pesquisa apresenta-se na forma de recomendações de planeamento e desenho urbano e também pretende ser um recurso prático a ser usado em projectos de reabilitação urbana. Como parte do modelo Convex e Solid-Void usado neste estudo, apresenta-se uma nova unidade espacial 3D "Street-Void", na qual todos os dados coletados são agregados para análise. Identificam-se indicadores específicos para avaliar com mais precisão os espaços das ruas, primeiro distinguindo entre ruas e praças e depois avaliando quantitativamente espaços semelhantes a ruas e espaços semelhantes a praças, e ainda espaços residenciais e de uso misto. Com base nos resultados da aplicação do método a quatro bairros estudados nas cidades de Istambul e Lisboa, e uma classificação das ruas usando os indicadores identificados, apresenta-se um conjunto de recomendações, que se atribuem a intervalos de valores próprios das tipologias específicas de ruas. Estas recomendações são formuladas para que possam ser aplicadas holisticamente ou de maneira fragmentada em diferentes fases de projecto ou cenários de melhoria urbana. Este estudo amplia o conhecimento sobre pedestrianização, sugerindo diferentes indicadores e faixas de valor para a avaliação de ruas, relacionando caminhabilidade com a variação das suas formas e usos. A tese está organizada da seguinte forma. No capítulo de introdução, são apresentados brevemente os objetivos da pesquisa, a contribuição e importância para o tema, metodologia, resultados e conclusão. No segundo capítulo, são apresentadas as questões de investigação a que a tese responde e a hipótese construída sobre essas questões. Estas questões podem ser listadas da seguinte maneira. Como podem a caminhabilidade e seus critérios serem integrados nos processos de desenho urbano (à escala do bairro)? Quais as qualidades do ambiente urbano construído que devem ser consideradas para a avaliação da caminhabilidade, para que as decisões de projecto possam ser informadas com mais eficácia? Como podemos avaliar a pedestrianização de um bairro num ambiente urbano complexo e em constante mudança? O terceiro capítulo apresenta uma revisão da literatura no tema da pesquisa, incluindo os temas do projecto urbano centrados no ser humano, investigação existente sobre a medição da caminhabilidade e sobre ferramentas de projecto algorítmico desenvolvidas para a escala urbana e em particular para a escala do bairro. No quarto capítulo, são explicados o método do estudo realizado e os princípios do fluxo de trabalho acima apresentados. Discute-se o processo de selecção utilizado para determinar os atributos quantitativos para a medição da caminhabilidade. As “características” sob as quais esses atributos são agrupados são a densidade, diversidade, conectividade, escala humana, complexidade, clausura (enclosure), forma, inclinação, permeabilidade e infraestrutura. Estas características e atributos são reduzidos posteriormente através de um processo de eliminação aos seus componentes principais. O quinto capítulo apresenta os estudos de caso dos bairros que são utilizados no desenvolvimento do fluxo de trabalho de medição, a interpretação dos atributos de caminhabilidade face aos dados medidos e uma análise inicial desses dados quantitativos. No sexto capítulo, o uso de dados de redes sociais e imagens street view como representantes de caminhabilidade são testados por métodos estatísticos e os espaços das ruas analisados são classificados com base nos atributos medidos (através de um método de clustering). Tipologias de rua com atributos específicos são identificadas nas várias classes (clusters) obtidas. Os atributos são avaliados com base na comparação de seus resultados quantitativos para cada tipologia de rua e são reduzidos através de um processo de filtragem. O sétimo capítulo inclui uma reclassificação das ruas com base em suas formas e usos e uma avaliação das medidas dos seus atributos com base na comparação dos seus resultados para essas classes. Através dessa avaliação, diferentes intervalos de valores foram determinados para serem aplicados aos diferentes atributos das ruas, e as descobertas obtidas por este método foram convertidas num guia destinado a informar os processos de desenho e planeamento urbano. O oitavo capítulo resume a produção geral da tese, a sua contribuição para o conhecimento, bem como para os processos de projecto e planeamento urbano. Partindo dos seus aspectos inovadores, fornece também uma visão geral dos estudos futuros que a tese pode proporcionar. No presente desenvolvimento, o método proposto nesta tese para a medição da caminhabilidade e respectivas recomendações para os processos de projecto e planeamento podem ser utilizadas como parte de serviços de consultoria a ser prestados a municípios, consultoria particular e a profissionais de projecto e planeamento. Em estudos futuros, pretende-se tornar o fluxo de trabalho apresentado numa ferramenta que pode ser utilizada diretamente por projectistas e planeadores. Prevê-se que tais estudos sejam desenvolvidos através da multiplicação dos contextos estudados, melhorando a qualidade e a precisão dos dados urbanos utilizados, aumentando o nível de detalhe capturado pelo modelo de análise e aplicando a análise a fenómenos urbanos que não sejam somente a caminhabilidade. Devido às semelhanças dos seus ambientes construídos, os bairros utilizados no presente estudo, que são Kadikoy e Hasanpasa em Istambul e Chiado e Ajuda em Lisboa, permitiram a avaliação de um conjunto consistente de ruas, oferecendo variedade suficiente. Mais especificamente, devido às semelhanças em termos de escala e uso, quando os espaços das ruas desses bairros foram classificados com base nos atributos utilizados, revelaram-se 6 tipologias diferentes de espaços de rua. Prevê-se que essas tipologias sejam multiplicadas pela aplicação do método a contextos diferentes em termos de escala, forma e uso. Devido à disponibilidade de dados detalhados e a uma variedade de espaços nas ruas em termos dos critérios mencionados, Nova York, Singapura e Amsterdão são exemplos de cidades que poderão ser estudadas como novos casos de estudo.
ABSTRACT: Today, rapidly growing urban populations both contribute to global crises such as pollution, climate change, diminishing natural resources, social conflicts and mass migrations and face the consequences. The built environment, its planning and design are critical in organizing urban life so that we pollute less, distribute our resources fairly, strengthen social and communal ties and thrive economically. Designing our cities to support walking as a means of transport contributes in these goals through facilitating pollution free and democratic access to urban resources, supporting local economies and enlivening the street. While research on walkability of the built environment is decades old now, we have more up-to-date, accurate and large-scale urban data than ever and our developing tools make it possible to feed this data into design and management processes to create and sustain more walkable environments. This dissertation argues for the necessity of a street-scale, 3d analysis method to inform flexible urban design solutions based on rapidly updatable and remotely accessible urban data obtained without the necessity of on-site surveys, proposing a semi-automated workflow to fill this gap in existing literature. The workflow combines a 3d neighborhood model in a visual programming environment, GIS and custom codes, utilizing a morphological analysis model named Convex and Solid-Voids, together with web scraping and image recognition techniques. A 3d street space unit “Street-Void” is presented within the Convex and Solid-Void model in which all gathered data is aggregated for analysis. Specific indicators are identified to more accurately assess street spaces, first by distinguishing between and then quantitatively evaluating street-like and square-like, residential and mixed-use streets. Based on the findings from the application of the workflow to four neighborhoods studied in the cities of Istanbul and Lisbon and a classification of street spaces using the proposed attributes, a set of recommendations are presented, with value ranges applicable to specific street typologies. These recommendations are formulated so that they can be applied holistically or in a fragmented way at different stages of planning and urban improvement scenarios with their projected impact grouped under direct/physical or indirect/perceptual. The dissertation contributes to walkability research by proposing a micro-scale, 3d and remotely applicable walkability analysis workflow as well as distinguishing between indicators to be applied to street spaces of different shapes and uses. It furthers the computational urban analysis model Convex and Solid-Voids by presenting its first-time application to the tangible urban problem of walkability. It also demonstrates the integration of remotely accessible data sources including street view images from an online map platform and location based social network data to the quantitative evaluation of urban street spaces. With urban planning and design recommendations, it demonstrates the practical application of the findings to urban improvement scenarios. The study is envisioned to be developed by future work through multiplying the contexts that are studied, improving the quality and accuracy of urban data utilized, increasing the level of detail captured by the morphological analysis model and applying the analysis to other urban phenomena other than walkability.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar e discutir procedimentos e diretrizes para a construção e validação de um índice para a avaliação das condições de sustentabilidade da mobilidade associada a grandes Polos Geradores de Viagens (PGV), tais como, por exemplo, campi universitários. Os procedimentos foram organizados nas seguintes etapas: i) avaliação das condições atuais de mobilidade; ii) desenvolvimento ou adaptação de um índice de mobilidade sustentável; iii) definição de estratégias para cálculo e de valores de referência para os indicadores; iv) atribuição de pesos para o modelo; v) validação do modelo; e vi) aplicação do modelo. Uma abordagem bottom-up foi utilizada para o desenvolvimento do índice, com base em informações obtidas em uma pesquisa abrangente realizada com usuários de um campus (PGV). As opiniões dos usuários foram traduzidas em indicadores potenciais, que foram posteriormente organizados em uma estrutura hierárquica. Como os pesos atribuídos aos elementos da estrutura hierárquica devem expressar a relevância de cada componente do modelo, os valores de peso foram uma combinação de percepções dos usuários com diretrizes de planejamento baseadas em pontos de alavancagem. O processo de validação foi capaz de identificar falhas na estrutura do modelo, consequência de um viés posteriormente identificado na pesquisa com os usuários. Em relação aos pesos, a adoção de valores distintos se mostrou uma estratégia adequada quando comparada a uma hierarquia de modos de transporte definida por princípios de sustentabilidade. O uso de pesos constantes, por outro lado, não se mostrou capaz de satisfazer esta condição. A aplicação do índice desenvolvido no estudo de caso, com o nome IMSCamp, resultou em um valor de 0,459 (em uma escala de 0-1) para o campus da Universidade de São Paulo em São Carlos. O resultado sugere que as condições de mobilidade do campus estudado não eram sustentáveis. Apesar deste resultado negativo, a abordagem desenvolvida permitiu a identificação de indicadores, temas ou domínios prioritários para melhoria. Esta identificação é um primeiro passo importante para um processo cíclico de estabelecimento de metas, intervenção e acompanhamento dos resultados por meio de avaliações contínuas ao longo do tempo.
The objective of this study was to introduce and discuss procedures and guidelines for the construction and validation of an index for the assessment of sustainability conditions of mobility associated to large Trip Generators (TG), for example, university campuses. The procedures were organized in the following steps: i) assessment of the current mobility conditions; ii) development or adaptation of a sustainable mobility index; iii) definition of strategies for calculation and of reference values for the indicators; iv) assignment of weights to the model; v) model validation; and vi) model application. A bottom-up approach was used for the index development, based on information obtained in a comprehensive survey carried out with users of the campus (TG). The users\' views were translated into potential indicators, which were subsequently organized in a hierarchical framework. As the weights assigned to the elements of the hierarchical structure must express the relevance of each model component, the weight values were a combination of users perceptions with planning guidelines based on leverage points. The validation process was able to identify gaps in the model structure, which were a consequence of a survey bias later identified. Regarding the weights, the adoption of different values proved to be an adequate strategy when compared to a hierarchy of transportation modes defined by sustainability principles. On the other hand, the use of constant weights would not be able to satisfy that condition. The application of the index developed in the case study, named IMSCamp, resulted in a value of 0.459 (in a 0-1 scale) for the campus of the University of São Paulo at São Carlos. The result suggests that the mobility conditions of the studied campus were not sustainable. Despite this negative result, however, the developed approach allowed the identification of priority indicators, themes or domains for improvement. This identification is a first important step for a cyclic process of establishment of goals, intervention, and monitoring of the results through continuous assessments along time.

Cette thèse de doctorat est consacrée aux politiques de transport public gratuit, à travers des données empiriques tirées d'une analyse géographique globale de la FFPT et de programmes particuliers de FFPT à Tallinn (Estonie), Aubagne (France) et Chengdu (Chine). Le travail empirique et les réflexions qui y sont menées résultent d’un intérêt pour les « alternatives » urbaines et d’une réflexion sur la façon dont les celles-ci pourraient être identifiées et étudiées dans le domaine de transports urbains. Reconnaissant la domination des perspectives dites « néoclassiques » et « durables » sur le transport urbain, la thèse propose de remettre en cause cette domination en intégrant une dimension explicitement urbaine dans l'analyse des politiques des transports. L'objectif principal de la recherche est donc de renforcer le lien entre les traditions critiques de la théorie urbaine et la géographie des transports en analysant et en démontrant comment les politiques des transports sont également des politiques urbaines. Elle développe ainsi un cadre inspiré du concept de « droit à la ville » d’Henri Lefebvre. Cela permet d'étudier comment les politiques de transports sont étayées par des questions de gouvernance, de coalitions et de régimes urbains ;quels intérêts et acteurs elle représentent ;comment elles sont au centre de l’entre-preneurialisme urbain ainsi que des résistances aux logiques entrepreneuriales ;quel rôle elle jouent dans la compétitivité territoriale ;comment elle peuvent être explorées à travers des questions liées à la participation des travailleurs et des citoyens, en soulignant le rôle de ses travailleurs et utilisateurs. Dans ce sens, le « droit à la ville » est proposé comme une grille d’analyse critique à travers laquelle la réalité des transports urbains peut être vue, analysée et, de manière volontairement normative, modifiée.

A presente investigação centra-se na temática de promoção da mobilidade ciclável e a devida integração com os transportes ferroviários, tendo em consideração a orografia do terreno. Num momento em que a procura por soluções sustentáveis no âmbito da mobilidade em cidade tem vindo a crescer, constata-se que a mobilidade com recurso à bicicleta nas deslocações diárias poderá atenuar as dificuldades existentes, podendo esta ser considerada como um dos modos de transporte mais eficazes nas deslocações urbanas. Numa fase inicial, a revisão dos conceitos aborda as questões relacionadas com esta temática, onde as posições de diversos autores fundamentam a importância que a mobilidade ciclável desempenha nas mais diversas áreas, desde da gestão e planeamento territorial às vertentes sociais, económicas, ambientais e culturais. Numa segunda fase, desenvolve-se um estudo sobre a aptidão ciclável no município de Vila Franca de Xira, procurando estudar a possibilidade de integrar a bicicleta enquanto modo de transporte diário de ligação às estações ferroviárias da Linha da Azambuja. Este estudo procura responder às adversidades encontradas aquando do processo de planeamento de redes cicláveis e tenta acomodar a questão orográfica, através do estudo prévio dos declives do terreno. O objetivo passa por entender de que forma é possível atenuar esta condicionante e, assim, promover junto da comunidade local o uso da bicicleta nas suas deslocações diárias de e para as diversas estações ferroviárias do concelho.
ABSTRACT: The present research focuses on the theme of promoting cycling mobility, currently conditioned by terrain orography and its effective integration with rail transport. At a time when the search for sustainable solutions in city mobility has been growing, it is clear that cycling mobility in daily commutes may alleviate existing difficulties and may be considered as one of the most effective urban modes of transport At an initial phase, the review of the concepts addresses issues related to this theme, where the positions of several authors justify the importance of cycling mobility in a broad variety of areas, ranging from territorial management and planning to social, economic, environmental and cultural aspects. At a second phase, a study is developed focusing on the cycling ability in the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira, seeking to study the possibility of integrate the bicycle as a daily mode of transport in the connections to Linha da Azambuja railway statios. This study seeks to respond to the the adversities encountered during the planning process of cycling networks and to accommodating the orographic question, through a preliminary study of the terrains slopes. The objective is to understand how the condition of the slopes may be mitigated and, thus, to promote bicycle use in the daily commute to and from the various railway stations in the municipality.

This dissertation is a response to the negative trends in urban mobility, which led many authors to conclude on the need for a new approach to personal transport in the cities. The work has creative character, but in the conceptual level, it is taking into account the specific needs of sustainable urban mobility and build on the existing innovative transport solutions. The result of dissertation is a vehicle vision, understood as an element of urban mobility that respects the character of the zones of free movement of persons, but it is also suitable for transport over longer distances.

This thesis investigates five traffic planner´s experiences of planning for pedestrians and cyclists in complex urban settings. Three themes, or relations are investigated: priority or hierarchy; separation or conglomeration; and top-down design or bottom-desires. The research was conducted through qualitative interviews to get hold of traffic planner´s experiences and understandings of how to understand space. Firstly, the results show that the traffic planner´s experience that the car still is the norm in the traffic system, but that re-prioritization of space to make pedestrians and cyclists the norm is getting more widely accepted. Secondly, there is a spread understanding that separation of uses and functions are to prefer before creation of shared spaces. Shared spaces are seen to neglect accessibility and separated spaces with overlapping functions are seen to clarify uses. Thirdly, it is meant that it needs to be a mutual relationship between top-down design and bottom-up desires to create space that meet different needs; a purely top-down approach will miss preferable uses of an existing place, and a purely bottom-up approach is understood as a possible hindrance to get things done.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar a perspectiva do transporte público por ônibus em 2030 nas cidades de pequeno e médio porte, com enfoque na mobilidade urbana sustentável. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram traçados quatro objetivos de pesquisa específicos: elaborar projeções para o transporte público por ônibus e desenvolver um questionário; avaliar estas projeções quanto à probabilidade de ocorrência, impacto no setor de transporte público por ônibus e desjabilidade de ocorrência das projeções, através do resultado de um painel de especialistas, utilizando o questionário desenvolvido no item anterior; avaliar a formação de um construto de fatores importantes para o transporte público por ônibus relacionados com a mobilidade urbana sustentável em cidades de pequeno e médio porte brasileiras a partir das variáveis do questionário; selecionar as variáveis que terão maior impacto para o transporte público por ônibus. O questionário foi aplicado a especialistas na área de transporte público urbano (TPU). Para a análise dos dados foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas: cálculo do grau de concordância, Análise Fatorial Exploratória e Regressão Logística. A análise dos dados apontou 3 projeções que tem maior probabilidade de ocorrência: P6-Os ônibus de TPU, das cidades de pequeno e médio porte serão gradativamente conectados e se comunicarão uns com os outros e com a infraestrutura; P9-O TPU por ônibus será um importante elo na integração com outros modais mais...

Abstract: This research aimed to analyze the perspective of public bus transport in 2030 in small and medium-sized cities, with a focus on sustainable urban mobility. For the development of the research, four specific research objectives were outlined: to elaborate projections for public transport by bus and to develop a questionnaire; evaluate these projections as to the probability of occurrence, impact on the public transport sector by bus and the desirability of occurrence of the projections, through the result of a panel of experts, using the questionnaire developed in the previous item; evaluate the formation of a construct of important factors for public bus transport related to sustainable urban mobility in small and medium-sized Brazilian cities based on factors and variables in the questionnaire; select the variables that will have the greatest impact on public transport by bus. The questionnaire was applied to specialists in urban public transport (UPT) and for the analysis of the collected data the following techniques were used: calculation of the degree of agreement, exploratory factor analysis and logistic regression. Data analysis pointed to three probable projections to occur in 2030: P6- Buses from UPT, small and medium-sized cities will be gradually connected and will communicate with each other and with the infrastructure; P9-UPT by bus will be an important link in the integration with other more sustainable modes (walking, bicycle, scooter, etc.) in small and mediu...

A necessidade de implementação de princípios e diretrizes de sustentabilidade, bem como a monitoração dos elementos que caracterizam o ambiente urbano é evidente, à medida que ampliam-se os problemas ambientais, econômicos e sociais responsáveis pelo declínio da qualidade de vida nas cidades. Desta forma, os indicadores tornam-se instrumentos fundamentais para promover o conhecimento e a informação necessários para a compreensão das especificidades e problemas presentes nos centros urbanos. Este trabalho tem por objetivo principal identificar indicadores voltados a monitorar as condições de mobilidade urbana em cidades selecionadas no Brasil e em Portugal, com base na preocupação principal de promover sua sustentabilidade. A primeira etapa compreende um inventário de sistemas de indicadores urbanos, já existentes ou em desenvolvimento, para um grupo de cidades dos dois países, a partir dos dados e informações disponibilizados através de suas páginas na Internet. Com base nos dados obtidos através do inventário e no julgamento de especialistas sobre a importância relativa de cada conjunto de informações analisado, as 106 cidades brasileiras e as 121 cidades portuguesas foram classificadas em diferentes grupos. Os resultados mostram que nos dois países, ao menos no tocante aos meios de acesso público via Internet, existe uma carência de informações e dados que permitam hoje o acompanhamento das condições de mobilidade urbana. A segunda etapa deste trabalho compreende a seleção e análise de indicadores de mobilidade a partir de um conjunto de experiências nacionais e internacionais de indicadores de sustentabilidade. Os indicadores identificados foram organizados em uma estrutura de Categorias e Temas e, posteriormente, submetidos à avaliação por parte de especialistas do Brasil e de Portugal com o objetivo de determinar sua importância relativa para a monitoração da mobilidade urbana no contexto dos dois países. Para o Brasil, os critérios ambientais obtiveram os maiores pesos a partir da avaliação dos especialistas do país. Já para Portugal, aos indicadores relacionados ao planejamento espacial das cidades e à monitoração da demanda por transportes, foram atribuídos os maiores pesos com base na opinião dos especialistas portugueses. Para os dois países os indicadores relacionados à monitoração das características de infra-estrutura e tecnologias de transporte foram considerados menos relevantes dentre todos os avaliados
There is a clear need for the implementation of sustainability principles and guidelines in urban areas, as well as for strategies for controlling the elements that shape the urban environment. The growing environmental, social, and economic problems make this need continuously more evident because they negatively impact the urban quality of life. As a consequence, indicators become essential tools to provide the knowledge and information required for understanding particular aspects and problems of the cities. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to identify indicators that are suitable for monitoring the urban mobility conditions of selected cities in Brazil and Portugal aiming at a sustainable development. An inventory of urban indicators in cities of the two countries has been carried out through Internet and the data collected, which reflected either existing or under development indicator systems, were combined with weights extracted from experts' evaluation of the relative importance of each information group considered. The 106 Brazilian cities and 121 Portuguese cities were thereafter classified into groups of similar characteristics regarding the previous evaluation. The results showed that, at least regarding what is available to the public through Internet, both countries clearly have limitations of data and information for monitoring their urban mobility conditions. The second phase of the research was the selection and analysis of mobility indicators extracted from several national and international experiences of sustainability indicators. Those indicators were organized under a framework of Categories and Themes and also submitted to the evaluation of groups of experts in both countries, in order to determine their relative importance for monitoring urban mobility conditions. Indicators dealing with environmental aspects were among those identified with the higher weights in Brazil, while the evaluation of the Portuguese experts put indicators regarding urban spatial planning and transport demand management at the top of the list. A common point in the evaluation was the fact that indicators related to transport technologies and infrastructure have the smallest weights in both countries.

Resumo: A União Européia vem patrocinando, desde o ano de 2000, consórcios (união de universidade, iniciativa privada e poder público) com o objetivo de conhecer a realidade da logística de carga urbana. No Brasil, projetos como os desenvolvidos na Europa ainda não foram iniciados. Porém, com a ratificação do Protocolo de Quioto pelo governo brasileiro e sua vigência a partir de 2005, aliado à nova Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável (PNMUS), esse tema ganha visibilidade e força nas discussões das possíveis soluções de mobilidade urbana sustentável. O objetivo da pesquisa foi investigar a realidade da logística da carga urbana no Brasil. De forma específica buscou-se analisar o estágio atual da logística da carga urbana nas metrópoles do Brasil, identificar qual é o conceito de carga urbana no contexto brasileiro e comparar as soluções nacionais de carga urbana com as práticas internacionais. Para isso utilizou-se o método hipotético-dedutivo seguindo uma estratégia desenvolvida pelo projeto europeu BESTUFS voltado para questões semelhantes na Europa. Através da elaboração de uma matriz (MIRCU ¿ Matriz Investigativa da Realidade da Carga Urbana) e um questionário (QIRCU ¿ Questionário Investigativo da Realidade da Carga Urbana) pesquisou-se os conceitos, cenário atual e ideal, estratégias, projetos e soluções de carga urbana desenvolvidos por 20 metrópoles brasileiras. O QIRCU foi respondido pelos administradores públicos municipais responsáveis pela elaboração das políticas de trânsito das cidades. O trabalho demonstrou que os conceitos do transporte de carga urbana no Brasil se formam a partir do estágio de urbanização que as cidades se encontram e os projetos são desenvolvidos sem nenhum controle dos resultados obtidos com a sua implantação. Através da pesquisa foi possível identificar que, na percepção dos entrevistados, o conceito de mobilidade urbana no Brasil não contempla as atividades de carga urbana. Isso demonstra como será difícil ao governo brasileiro colocar em prática qualquer política nacional de mobilidade urbana sustentável, uma vez que cada cidade possui um conceito diferente tanto de mobilidade urbana quanto do transporte de carga e até mesmo do que é a carga urbana. Essa administração reativa dos problemas da carga urbana compromete a implementação da técnica de City Logistics que prevê um correto planejamento das atividades que irão ocorrer no centro das cidades
Abstract: The European Union has been sponsoring, since the year 2000, the formation of consortiums (from the association of universities, private and public organizations) aiming to identify the urban goods logistics reality. In Brazil, projects similar to those developed in Europe have yet been initialized. Nevertheless, with the signature of the Kyoto Protocol by the Brazilian Government and its legality from 2005 allied to the new Policy of National Sustainable Urban Mobility - PNMUS, this issue becomes more visible and acquires strength in the agenda for obtaining sustainable urban mobility. The objective of the research was to investigate the urban goods logistics in Brazil and in order to achieve that the hypothetico-deductive method is used jointly with the methodology developed by the European project BESTUFS. Through the elaboration of a matrix (MIRCU ¿ Matrix of investigation of urban goods reality) and a questionnaire (QIRCU - Questionnaire of investigation of urban goods reality), the concepts, present scenarios and ideal scenarios, strategies, projects and urban goods solutions developed by 20 Brazilian metropolis where researched. The QIRCU was responded by municipal public administrators responsible for the elaboration of traffic policies in their cities. The results demonstrate that the urban goods transportation concepts in Brazil are defined by the stage of urbanization where the cities are placed and the projects are developed without systematic control of the results achieved with its implementation. Through the research it was possible to identify that, in the perception of the interviewed, the concept of urban mobility in Brazil does not contemplate the activities of urban goods. Thus demonstrating the difficulty the Brazilian Government will face to realize any national policy of sustainable urban mobility, once each city has a unique and rather different concept of urban mobility and of goods transportation and even a different concept of urban goods. The reactive administration of the problems of urban goods compromises the implementation of the City Logistics technique that foresees a correct planning of the activities that will occur in the cities

A partir da promulgação da Lei da Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana em 2012, a gestão da mobilidade urbana no Brasil passou a enfrentar novos desafios quanto ao seu planejamento de curto, médio e longo prazos. Entre eles está a integração dos diferentes modos de transporte dos municípios: público, privado e não motorizado (art. 24 da Lei n°12.587/ 2012). Com o intuito de potencializar o uso dos transportes não motorizados no Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte, buscou-se identificar e analisar os pontos críticos da inserção dos transportes não motorizados no planejamento urbano dos municípios da Região Metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte (RMVPLN). Para tanto foram entrevistados os responsáveis pelos transportes não motorizados de 11 municípios da RMVPLN usando um roteiro de entrevista e um questionário com perguntas fechadas. Com base nas respostas se avaliou como os municípios contemplam os transportes não motorizados em sua gestão e planejamento. Após esta análise, por meio do modelo Fuzzy de Programação por Metas e Análise por Envoltória de Dados foi possível avaliar a eficiência relativa da gestão dos transportes não motorizados dos municípios estudados. Os resultados deste trabalho indicaram a falta de uma análise sistêmica e integral das ações e/ou iniciativas que facilitem o uso dos transportes não motorizados na Região Metropolitana estudada. Também se destacaram quais são os principais determinantes que influenciam o uso dos transportes não motorizados na região estudada e os municípios que apresentam maior eficiência relativa na gestão do mesmo.
From enactment of Law of the Urban Mobility National Policy in 2012, the urban mobility management in Brazil started to face new challenges regarding its planning of short, medium and long-term. Among them it is the integration of the different transport modes of the cities: public, private and non-motorized (article 24 of the Law No. 12.587/2012). Aiming to potentiate the use of non-motorized transports in Vale do Paraíba and Litoral Norte, we sought to identify and analyze the critical points of the insertion of the non-motorized transports in the urban planning of cities of the Metropolitan Region of the Vale do Paraíba and Litoral Norte (RMVPLN). For this, we interview the responsible people by non-motorized transports of 11 cities of the RMVPLN using in the interview script and a questionnaire with closed questions. Based on answers, we assessed how the cities address the non-motorized transports in their management and planning. After this analysis, through the model Fuzzy Goal Programming and Data Envelopment Analysis was possible to assess the relative efficiency of the nonmotorized transport management of the cities studied. The results of this work indicated the lack of a systemic and integral analysis of the measures and/or initiatives that make easier the use of the non-motorized transports in the Metropolitan Region studied. We also can highlight which are the main determinants that influence the use of the non-motorized transports in the region studied and cities that have higher relative efficiency in management of the same.

Barns mobilitet och möjlighet att på egen hand ta sig runt i staden har minskat och begränsas idag i stor utsträckning av otrygga trafiksituationer. I och med sin begränsade oberoende mobilitet exkluderas barn från stadsrummet och dess faciliteter. Oberoende mobilitet kan relateras till flera dimensioner av barns sociala, fysiska, psykiska och kognitiva välmående. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om och på vilket sätt autonoma bussar kan bidra till barns oberoende mobilitet och med hjälp av barns upplevelser och erfarenheter bidra med insikter i detta inför införandet av autonoma bussar i städer och kollektivtrafiksystem. För att göra det besvaras frågeställningarna “Hur kan autonoma bussar i transportsystemet bidra till barns oberoende mobilitet?” och “Vilka förutsättningar är nödvändiga för att autonoma bussar ska bidra till barns oberoende mobilitet?”. Undersökningen utgår från ett fall av införande av autonoma bussar i stadsmiljö och för att besvara frågeställningarna genomfördes med elever på en grundskola fokusgrupper med syfte att inhämta deltagarnas upplevelser och erfarenheter. Resultatet tyder på att införandet av autonoma bussar i ett urbant område kan bidra till barns oberoende mobilitet på flera sätt och att bussarna har vissa egenskaper som gör att de kan anpassas till barns förutsättningar. Insikter från studien kan bidra till en förståelse för hur, från barns eget perspektiv, oberoende mobilitet kan gynnas av autonoma bussar i kollektivtrafiken, samt hur tjänsten behöver utvecklas för att anpassas till denna användargrupp när autonoma bussar i större utsträckning ska implementeras i staden.
Children's mobility and the opportunity to get around the city on their own has decreased and is today limited to a large extent by unsafe traffic situations. Due to their limited independent mobility, children are excluded from the urban space and its facilities. Independent mobility can be related to several dimensions of children's social, physical, mental and cognitive wellbeing. The purpose of the study is to investigate if and in what way autonomous buses can contribute to children's independent mobility and, using children's experiences, provide insights into this before the introduction of autonomous buses in cities and public transport systems. To do so, the two research questions "How can autonomous buses in the transport system contribute to children's independent mobility?"and "What prerequisites are necessary for autonomous buses to contribute to children's independent mobility?" are answered. The survey is based on a case of introduction of autonomous buses in urban environments and to answer the questions three focus groups with students in a primary school were conducted with the aim of gaining the participants' experiences. The results indicate that the introduction of autonomous buses in an urban area can contribute to children's independent mobility in several ways and that the buses have certain characteristics that enable them to be adapted to children's conditions. Insights from the study can contribute to an understanding of in what way, from children's own perspective, independent mobility can benefit from autonomous buses in public transport, and how the service needs to be developed to adapt to this user group when autonomous buses are to be implemented to a greater extent in the city.

Today we are experiencing an urbanization process at a speed never acknowledged before. With mobilityaccounting for a considered share of the environmental impact of these expanding urban ecosystems, the bicycleassumes an increasing fundamental role in the framework of sustainable development. However, despite gainingrecognition as valuable sustainable transportation alternative, it is still marginalized within a current car-centeredsociety. Collective action around cycling has therefore started to mobilize in order to defend cyclists’ interestsand needs. Yet, there is still limited research on its role on affecting urban development, as well as on its impacton the people who engage in such action. This thesis aims to fill this research gap by focusing on how collective action around cycling has shaped city andpersons. First of all, the collective action framework has been delineated by building on different authorscontributions: in this thesis, collective action has then been defined as an action of the collectivity for thecollectivity through the efforts of both single individuals and organized groups. Three sub-questions haveconsequently been investigated: how collective action changed its own practitioners, transforming theircapabilities and self-perceptions; how collective action has been shaped itself by cyclists group identity; and howsuch action has impacted the development of the city of Stockholm, taken as case study. The methods appliedinclude a literature review to provide relevant background, followed by a qualitative research based on semi-structured interviews. The informants involved were selected based on their engagement in the collective actionof the Stockholm scene, taken as case study due to its rather rapid process and quest in becoming a more bikeablecity. By analyzing their experiences and answers, the study results provide a new perspective on the impact ofcollective action, focusing in particular on the way group identification can strengthen and direct this engagementand on how the latter has contributed to a more personal development of its practitioners. The results build up on and also confirm previous findings in relation to dynamics typical of collective action andgroup identity, applying a more case-related perspective. In regard to its practitioners, collective action has beenfound to have an impact by enhancing a feeling of empowerment, freedom and community, affecting also non-practitioners and benefiting the society as a whole. Group identification resulted to play a significant role inshaping the different kinds of engagement, for example by focusing on contrasting the car hegemony within theurban system; however, consistent differences were found between high and low identifiers. For what concernsthe urban development of Stockholm, collective action has been found to have shaped the city in regards toinfrastructure, policies and organization, thanks to a growing network and political engagement of different actorsand organizations. The deriving increased awareness and recognition represent a core starting point for theachievement of future goals.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é desenvolver e aplicar um método para avaliação do potencial de transferência de um índice de mobilidade sustentável, com base em três questões. O índice de mobilidade sustentável para campus universitário (IMSCamp), proposto por Oliveira (2015), é transferível para outros contextos? Em caso afirmativo, qual o potencial de transferência do mesmo? A partir das respostas das questões anteriores, qual seria a estrutura mínima para a concepção de um índice de mobilidade para campus universitário possível de ser transferido para qualquer contexto? O método proposto para o estudo foi assim organizado: aplicação do IMSCamp a um novo contexto; análise do seu potencial de transferência por meio de critérios desenvolvidos especificamente para este fim; e organização de um painel de especialistas com o intuito de elencar possíveis indicadores para um índice global de mobilidade sustentável para campus universitário. A avaliação do potencial de transferência, objetivo principal deste estudo, resultou em um valor que indica um baixo potencial de transferência (cerca de 40% do máximo possível) para o índice. Este resultado indica que foram necessárias mudanças expressivas para adaptá-lo a um novo campus; sendo assim, não se trata de um índice global diretamente aplicável, sem mudanças, a diversos contextos. Apesar disso, foi possível reproduzir o método de aplicação do IMSCamp no campus da USP de Piracicaba, que resultou em um valor de 0,491 (cerca de 50% do máximo possível), mostrando a viabilidade de seu uso em diferentes contextos, desde que feitos alguns ajustes. Isto obviamente depende da existência de recursos para sua adaptação, o que neste caso não se configurou em uma barreira intransponível. Por fim, o painel de especialistas trouxe evidências de que, dentre os 20 indicadores originais do IMSCamp, 13 mereceram destaque, em termos de relevância e adequação, para compor um índice aplicável a contextos distintos. Seriam eles: Infraestrutura de transporte público urbano, Qualidade das calçadas dentro e de acesso ao campus, Vagas para usuários com restrição de mobilidade, Transporte público urbano, Segurança pública, Acessibilidade dos prédios, Infraestrutura de estacionamento, Bicicletários e paraciclos, Infraestrutura de acesso ao campus, Adequação do modo de transporte, Qualidade das vias no campus, Infraestrutura cicloviária e Ações de educação no trânsito.
This study aims to develop and to apply a method for assessing the transferability of a sustainable mobility index for university campus. Three main questions guide the research: Is IMSCamp (an index created by Oliveira, 2015) transferable to a new context? In this case, what is its transferability potential? According to the previous answers, what should be the framework of a sustainable mobility index for university campus that is transferable to any context? The proposed method was organized as follows: application of IMSCamp to a new context; assessment of the transferability potential of this index by means of rating criteria that have been specially developed for this purpose; and organization of a panel of experts to select indicators for a global sustainable mobility index for university campus. The evaluation of the transferability potential, which was the main purpose of this study, indicated a low level of transferability (around 40% of the maximum value) for the index. This result indicates that considerable adjustments had been required in order to adapt it to a new campus. It means that it is not the case of a global index that may be directly applied without adjustments to various contexts. Nevertheless, it was possible to reproduce the IMSCamp method at the University of São Paulo campus in Piracicaba, which resulted in a value of 0.491 (around 50% of the maximum possible value), bringing evidence that the index can be applied in different campuses after some adjustments. The application obviously depends on the availability of resources for the adaptations needed, what was not a unsurmountable obstacle in the case studied. Finally, the experts\' panel brought evidences that 13 out of the 20 original indicators of IMSCamp have enough relevance and suitability to constitute an index transferable to different contexts. These indicators are: Public transport infrastructure, Quality of sidewalks (inside and around the campus), Parking spaces for people with disability, Public transport, Public safety, Buildings accessibility, Parking infrastructure, Bicycle racks, Infrastructure to access the campus, Suitability of transport modes, Pavement quality inside the campus, Cycling infrastructure and Traffic education initiatives.

Especially you can see that planning not just urban mobility but of infrastructure linked to it, is the result of a great debate and discussion. The impetus given by the mobility in recent years, has taken such a high proportion that affects all modes ratings. Thus, the debate and the discussion ran high, especially from the 1970s and 1980s, when urban problems started to become more evident, because of the swelling of cities and therefore the lack of adequate infrastructure to meet all the wants and needs of the population. It is true that the displacement requirements are supported by law and concerns a right guaranteed, which is to come and go. Due to the fragility of planning, several problems began to emerge in urban areas among which the gaps in the interpretation of responsibilities between the three spheres federal, state and municipal government; and priority when the execution, which in the case of Brazil adopted the exclusionary model of motorized displacement means at the expense of non-motorized. Moreover, even in cases where there is a structure for the foot displacement, this is sometimes precarious especially in medium and large cities. To make the most critical issue in such circumstances arises an aggravating is the rather sharp increase in the elderly population in Brazil, which need special care when it comes to urban infrastructure, particularly walkways and driveways, as this population is characterized among others aspects of weaknesses that are directly linked to displacement. In other words, to the pedestrian does not have mobility problems the infrastructure is already precarious, for the elderly aggravating are significant to the point of making the displacement of this population almost impossible. The set associated with shifts in sidewalks, driveways and crossings are analyzed as a whole may even have satisfactory concepts, but when viewed individually could reach worry levels. In response to these needs, the main objective of this thesis is to propose, in order to improve planning in regard to walkways and driveways, an index to estimate the quality of walkways and driveways facing the elderly population, through 14 indicators divided by 3 groups of subjects. After a comprehensive literature review that brings together different areas of knowledge, it proposed a methodology that initially provides for the incorporation of the opinion of many experts, through a questionnaire. So that the responses to the questionnaire were informed due to some peculiar characteristics of the elderly segment. Pursuant to the case study in a medium-sized city, in general, the results obtained with the index established by the model, have proved to be satisfactory. In conclusion, even considering as a satisfactory result the methodology indicates that it is necessary to provide improvements to walkways and driveways, as the elderly segment requires more appropriate structures.
Notadamente é possível observar que o planejamento não só de mobilidade urbana, mas das infraestruturas ligadas a ela, é fruto de um grande debate e discussão. O ímpeto assumido pela mobilidade nos últimos anos tomou uma proporção tão acentuada que, atinge todas as classificações modais. Sendo assim, o debate e a discussão se acirraram, sobretudo a partir das décadas de 1970 e 1980, quando os problemas urbanos começaram a tornar-se mais evidente, devido ao grande inchaço das cidades e por consequência a falta de estrutura adequada para atender todos os desejos e necessidades da população. É fato que as necessidades de deslocamentos estão amparadas pela lei e diz respeito a um direito garantido, que é o de ir e vir. Em decorrência da fragilidade do planejamento, diversos problemas começaram a surgir no meio urbano entre os quais, as lacunas na interpretação das responsabilidades entre as três esferas governo federal, estadual e municipal; e a prioridade quando na execução, que no caso brasileiro adotou o modelo excludente dos meios de deslocamentos motorizados em detrimento do não motorizado. Além disso, mesmo nos casos em que há uma estrutura para o deslocamento a pé, essa é por vezes precária principalmente nas médias e grandes cidades brasileiras. Para tornar o problema mais crítico, nessas circunstâncias, surge um agravante que é o aumento bastante acentuado da população idosa no Brasil, a qual necessita de cuidados especiais quando se tratam das infraestruturas urbanas, sobretudo passeios e calçadas, pois esta população está caracterizada entre outros aspectos por fragilidades que estão ligadas diretamente ao deslocamento. Em outras palavras, se para o pedestre que não tem problemas de locomoção as infraestruturas já são precárias, para a população idosa os agravantes são significativos ao ponto de tornar os deslocamentos dessa população quase impraticável. O conjunto associado aos deslocamentos nos passeios, calçadas e travessias se analisados como um todo pode até dispor de conceitos satisfatórios, mas quando observados de forma individual podem chegar a níveis preocupantes. Como resposta a estas necessidades, o objetivo principal dessa tese é propor, visando o aprimoramento do planejamento no que diz respeito aos passeios e calçadas, um índice para estimar a qualidade desses passeios e calçadas voltados à população idosa, através de 14 indicadores divididos por 3 grupos de temas. Após uma abrangente revisão bibliográfica que reúne diversas áreas do conhecimento, foi proposta uma metodologia que prevê, inicialmente, a incorporação da opinião de diversos especialistas, através de um questionário. De tal modo que, as respostas dadas a este questionário, eram embasadas em função de algumas características peculiares ao segmento idoso. Em aplicação para o estudo de caso em uma cidade de médio porte, de maneira geral, os resultados obtidos com o índice estabelecido através do modelo, revelaram-se como satisfatório. Como conclusão, mesmo considerando como um resultado satisfatório a metodologia sinaliza que é necessário prover melhorias nos passeios e calçadas, visto que o segmento idoso necessita de estruturas mais adequadas.

O presente estudo objetiva contribuir com a promoção de uma mobilidade sustentável através da identificação das principais barreiras que dificultam a implementação dos Planos de Mobilidade Urbana (PMU) , e m conformidade com a Lei n.12.587/2012, retardando o alcance e evolução de cidades mais sustentáveis e acessíveis. Tal identificação pode apoiar o planejamento estratégico através de informações objetivas que podem ser usadas para aconselhar políticos e de mais partes interessadas na promoção da mobilidade urbana sustentável nas cidades de pequeno e médio porte do Estado de São Paulo. Para responder esta questão foi utilizada uma pesquisa exploratória e quantitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada através d o procedimento do tipo survey , utilizando um questionário semiestruturado enviado aos gestores públicos de cidades de pequeno e médio porte responsáveis pela mobilidade urbana , bem como para especialistas sobre o tema. Houve diferenças entre a percepção de barreiras entre os municípios de pequeno e médio porte, bem como entre os municípios e os especialistas. Para os municípios as principais barreiras encontram - se nas barreiras de recursos e nas barreiras sociais e culturais, já para os especialistas as bar reiras práticas e tecnológicas e as barreiras institucionais e políticas foram as mais relevantes. Na barreira de recursos foram apontadas limitações orçamentárias para investir em sistemas de transportes mais sustentáveis, limitações orçamentárias para a implementação das medidas propostas, bem como o repasse insuficiente de verbas do governo federal para a mobilidade urbana. Nas barreiras sociais e culturais as principais dificuldades são a falta de participação pública na elaboração do PMU, dificuldades em adotar soluções que atendam às necessidades dos diferentes atores envolvidos, e dificuldade em conciliar as necessidades da população aos serviços e infraestrutura disponíveis. Também foram relevantes a ausência de uma base de dados integrada, falta de mão de obra qualificada dentro da prefeitura e a dependência de outros setores para a adoção de soluções para a mobilidade.
The present study aims to contribute to the promotion of sustainable mobility by identifying the barriers that are an impediment for Urban Mobility Plans (UMP) implementation in accordance with Law no. 1287//2012, delaying the achieve ment and evolution of more sustainable and acce ssible cities. Thus, aim to support strategic planning through objective information that can be used to advise politicians and other interested parties in the promotion of sustainable urban mobility in the small and medium - sized cities of the State of São Paulo. To answer this question it was used an exploratory and quantitative analysis and the data collection was performed through the survey procedure using a semi - structured questionnaire , which was sent to public managers of small and medium - sized citie s, as well as experts on the subject. There were differences between the perception of barriers between small and medium sized municipalities, as well as between municipalities and specialists. For municipalities, the main barriers are found in resource ba rriers and in social and cultural barriers, while for practitioners, practical and technological barriers and institutional and political barriers were the most relevant. In the resource barrier, there were budgetary constraints to invest in more sustainab le transport systems, budget constraints for the implementation of the proposed measures, as well as the insufficient transfer of funds from the federal government to urban mobility. In social and cultural barriers the main difficulties are the lack of pub lic participation in the elaboration of the U MP, difficulties in adopting solutions that meet the needs of the different actors involved, and it is difficult to reconcile the needs of the population with the available services and infrastructure. Also rele vant were the absence of an integrated database, lack of skilled manpower within the city hall and dependence on other sectors for the adoption of mobility solutions.

Adaptações da estrutura urbana visando incentivar as viagens por modos sustentáveis, bem como a seleção e a implantação de ações e políticas com o mesmo propósito, são ainda desafios para técnicos e gestores. O Índice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável (IMUS) foi aqui adotado como base de uma estratégia para contornar esses problemas. Cada um de seus 87 indicadores foi avaliado por especialistas, os quais apontaram potenciais dificuldades para a implementação de melhorias. Com base nestas avaliações foi possível desenvolver, aplicar e analisar os resultados de um método de planejamento através de cenários, com a finalidade de obter alternativas para adaptar cidades ao conceito de mobilidade sustentável. Os resultados obtidos com a aplicação na cidade de São Carlos apontam o método como uma estratégia promissora de planejamento urbano, pois se mostrou capaz de indicar diversos possíveis conjuntos de ações práticas com grande potencial para conduzir a cidade à meta de mobilidade urbana sustentável. Estas ações puderam ser escolhidas com base em critérios claros, tais como: custo de execução, períodos de tempo (múltiplos de 4 anos, de forma a coincidir com o período de gestão dos prefeitos) ou ainda, o risco político decorrente da execução das ações. A análise dos resultados conduziu à conclusão de que o método é adequado para fins de planejamento urbano, uma vez que foi consistente não apenas com os problemas observados, mas também com as soluções previstas para muitos dos desafios da mobilidade urbana. Além disso, os indicadores que influenciam indiretamente na Geração de Viagens Sustentáveis (GVS), e que estavam associados a ações classificadas como viáveis em todos os quesitos, foram os que apresentaram maior potencial para alterar o valor geral do índice. Adicionalmente, embora alguns domínios tenham tido vários indicadores com avaliações ruins (por exemplo, os domínios \"Modos Não-motorizados\" e Sistemas de Transporte Urbano\"), eles também concentraram um grande número de indicadores associados a ações viáveis. Isso parece indicar que esses indicadores podem ser facilmente melhorados, se estimulados por políticas adequadas.
Adaptations of the urban structure for encouraging trips by sustainable modes, as well as the selection and implementation of actions and policies with the same objective, are still challenges to technicians and urban managers. The Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (I_SUM) was adopted here as the basis of a strategy to deal with those problems. Each one of the 87 indicators of I_SUM was evaluated by experts, who pointed out potential difficulties for the implementation of improvements. The evaluations provided elements for the development, application and analysis of the results of a scenario-based planning method. The goal of the method is the search of alternatives to adapt cities to the concept of sustainable urban mobility. The results obtained with the application in the city of São Carlos suggest that the method is a promising urban planning strategy, given that it can indicate several sets of practical actions with clear potential to conduct the city to the goal of sustainable mobility. That selection of actions was based on clear criteria, such as: implementation costs, time (in multiples of four years, in order to match the time available to the elected mayors), and the political risk of the proposed actions. The analyses of the outcomes led to the conclusion that the method is appropriate for urban planning purposes, given that it was consistent not only with the observed problems but also with the anticipated solutions to many of the urban mobility challenges. Also, indicators that simultaneously have an indirect influence on the generation of sustainable trips, and were associated to actions meeting all feasibility criteria, have shown a clear potential to change the overall index value. Furthermore, although some Domains have had several indicators with poor evaluations (e.g., the Domains Non-Motorized Modes and Urban Transport Systems), they also have concentrated a large number of indicators associated to feasible actions. It seems to indicate that these indicators could be easily improved, if stimulated by adequate policies.

A presente dissertação pretende analisar as visões estratégicas europeias vigentes que objetivem a promoção da sustentabilidade no setor dos transportes e em que medida estão a ser transpostas no Município de Lisboa. Para atingir este objetivo, debate-se teoricamente o conceito de externalidade e apresentam-se as principais externalidades típicas do setor. De seguida, são expostas as principais metas de sustentabilidade, cujas medidas passam por ações no setor dos transportes, definidas para os anos 2020, 2030 e 2050. Por fim, descrevem-se e discutem-se os planos através dos quais o Município de Lisboa se propõe a atingir as metas ao nível da redução de emissões, da eletrização da frota automóvel, da promoção da mobilidade suave e das plataformas de mobilidade partilhada. Dada a comparação entre a visão estratégica europeia e as medidas concretas a que o Município se propôs, é possível afirmar que caminham no mesmo sentido. Em Lisboa verifica-se uma clara aposta na promoção da utilização da rede de transportes públicos, na digitalização do setor e na redução da atratividade do uso de automóveis na cidade, em prol de soluções de mobilidade suave complementares à rede de transportes públicos.
The present dissertation aims to analyse the current European Vision to promote the sustainability of the transport sector and determine in what measure it is being transposed to Lisbon Municipality. In order to reach this goal, it is presented a theoretical debate about externalities and also what are the main externalities of the transport sector in Europe. After that, it is exposed the main goals of sustainability defined for 2020, 2030 and 2050. On a next stage, it is demonstrated and discussed the strategic plans of Lisbon Municipality in order to achieve the goals in terms of emission savings, promotion of electric vehicles, and promotion of soft mobility solutions and shared mobility platforms. Given the comparison between the European strategic vision and concrete measures in Lisbon, it is possible to affirm that their walking on the same path. In Lisbon, it is clear the promotion of the public transport network, on digitalisation of the sector and measures in order to promote the use of soft mobility solutions as a complement to the public transport network and the establishment of barriers to the use of cars.

The search for a sustainable urban mobility, has recast the public policy of transport and movement for all, in order to contribute to the welfare economic, social and environmental. Within this context, has as its main objective review here in the city of Natal in the state of Rio Grande Norte, the deployment of the new road infrastructure of the transport corridor of Bernardo Vieira Avenue and checking at least with regard to urban areas and environmental chosen here, as will indicators to assess sustainable urban mobility, that the theory has been well constructed, but in practice little way to apply the proposed guidelines for sustainability. To achieve this result, is initially a literature review with the principal investigators of the matter, since the concepts of indicators of sustainable urban mobility. And a second time, participating in to the case study, using the methodology of environmental awareness, through analysis photographs, notes and testimony in the study area ace to reach conclusions
A busca por uma mobilidade urbana sustent?vel, tem reformulado as pol?ticas p?blicas de transporte e de circula??o para todos, de modo a contribuir para o bem estar econ?mico, social e ambiental. Dentro deste contexto, tem se aqui como objetivo principal analisar na cidade de Natal no Estado do Rio Grande Norte, a implanta??o da nova infra-estrutura vi?ria do corredor de transporte da Avenida Bernardo Vieira, e verificar pelo menos no que tange aos aspectos urban?sticos e ambientais aqui escolhido, como indicadores para avaliar ? mobilidade urbana sustent?vel, que a teoria tem sido bem constru?da, mas que no caminho para pr?tica pouco se aplica das diretrizes propostas de sustentabilidade. Para se chegar a esse resultado, se faz num primeiro momento uma revis?o bibliogr?fica junto aos principais pesquisadores do assunto, desde dos conceitos aos indicadores de mobilidade urbana sustent?vel. E num segundo momento, parti se para o estudo de caso, utilizando a metodologia da percep??o ambiental, atrav?s de an?lises fotogr?ficas, anota??es e depoimentos na ?rea de estudo para chegar ?s conclus?es
