Análise dos níveis de acessibilidade urbana da avenida Segismundo Pereira em Uberlândia/MG pelo método do IACT

Abstract

The exploration of accessibility and mobility issues in urban centers are important for the implementation of projects in the field of Transportation Engineering, since it must be considered in its conception, structural elements that provide comfort and safety to future users. Thus, this enables management measures to be implemented in different scales, in order to meet national, regional or local demands. In this context, the present work aims to classify, map, evaluate and compare the urban accessibility index of public transportation systems in bus corridors in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, according to the requirements of the Accessibility Index of Sidewalks and Crossings (IACT). This study applies the IACT method on a local scale, based on the geographic characterization of the selected area, as well as by the application of geotechnologies that allow the collection, extraction and manipulation of data in large quantities and derived from different sources of information, as well as an adaptation of the method to the local reality through the selection of attributes and application of a social scope survey. The conclusions for such applications were related to the verification of the quality, efficiency and availability of urban mobility facilitating devices in the analyzed stretches, since the results from this study will be useful for future projects that can be replicated in different locations distributed in the urban perimeter of a city.
