Análise espacial e Geoesatística aplicadas ao estudo de sistemas de transporte público urbano

Abstract

This work aimed to carry out a post-implantation characterization study of the exclusive bus corridor on Avenida Segismundo Pereira in Uberlândia-MG, Brazil. For that, geotechnologies were used to collect and interpret georeferenced information, in order to obtain the main infrastructure elements of the corridor. In addition, an online questionnaire was also applied to analyze the users' perception of the studied transport system. These data were subsequently correlated with mapping land use and occupation and modeled using spatial techniques, geostatistical analysis and artificial intelligence. It was observed that the corridor's infrastructure meets the users' demand, where most of the embarkation and disembarkation stations are distributed homogeneously along the road axis and have accessibility equipment. In addition, most intersections along the corridor have traffic lights for vehicles and pedestrians, as well as access ramps, pedestrian crossings and elevated crossings. However, issues related to pricing, security and coverage are still considered critical by the community that uses the aforementioned transport system, thus highlighting the need for studies, policies and actions that aim to minimize the problems experienced by local urban mobility.
