Análise dos volumes de tráfego e evolução urbana no entorno do PGV: O caso do campus da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia na cidade de Monte Carmelo – MG

Abstract

Travel generating hubs, known as PGVs, are facilities that have in common the potential to advance activities on a size and scale capable of being attractive to the population, generating a considerable amount of trips. PGVs can produce positive and negative impacts on urban space that end up influencing the population's quality of life. The impacts of a PGV vary depending on their type, magnitude and intensity. They can be classified into micropoles, where the impacts are isolated and small, or macropoles, which generate larger and more significant impacts. This work presents a literature review on the characterization and classification of PGVs. The objective of this work was to analyze the impacts around a PGV using traffic data and geoprocessing techniques. The PGV studied was the Campus of the Federal University of Uberlândia in the city of Monte Carmelo - MG. Geoprocessing tools and techniques were used to define the area of influence and identify the impacts generated.
