Aplicação da logística urbana na modelagem e simulação de corredores do transporte público por ônibus

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to model and simulate the behavior of transit in corridors of public transport by bus based on city logistics concepts using the tools of ARENA and TransCAD softwares. The bus lane used in the case study is the Avenida João Naves de Ávila, in Uberlândia (MG). To model the corridor tried to establish the equilibrium demand / supply ensuring the level of service with a maximum capacity of 80 persons and also used the concepts of city logistics for analysis, simulation and scenario generation. The model considered the arrivals and departures of passengers and the movement of buses in the corridor. These data resulted in the simulation of the corridor as passenger demand and service level adopted in the peak hour. As conclusions noted that the objective was fully achieved and the values of travel time and loading at peak hour in the ARENA software were very similar to those obtained in TransCAD.
