BRT Systems in Brazil
This paper examines the advances and challenges of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in Brazil, considering their potential in promoting sustainable urban mobility. Rapid urbanization and the predominance of private motorized transport have intensified the need for efficient, accessible, and environmentally sound collective transport solutions. BRT has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to rail systems, combining high capacity, lower implement…
BRT in the Middle Mile
The growth of e-commerce has imposed new challenges on urban supply chains, especially in the middle mile, which still lacks structured, sustainable and scalable logistics solutions. This study investigates the feasibility of using the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, widely present in cities of emerging economies, as an urban logistics platform for the transport of light and traceable goods. This research adopts a qualitative approach, with analy…

Transporte orientado ao desenvolvimento urbano
As redes de transporte desempenham um importante papel no desenvolvimento das cidades e no acesso a oportunidades. O planejamento de transportes, contudo, ainda não reconhece seu papel na promoção de desigualdades. Este trabalho busca discutir os conceitos de centralização e acessibilidade e apresentar um paradigma de desenho de redes de transporte coletivo, baseado na compreensão de que sua demanda contém um componente endógeno: ao promover aces…
Transportation oriented to urban development
Transportation networks play a vital role in the development of cities and access to opportunities. Transportation planning, however, has yet to recognize its role in promoting inequalities. This work aims to discuss the concepts of centralization and accessibility and present a paradigm for planning transit networks based on the understanding that transit demand contains an endogenous component: by increasing accessibility, transit systems encou…
Study into the Impact of the Pandemic on Travel Patterns within the Metropolitan Area of Rio de Janeiro
Despite the ending of social distancing and post-pandemic return to normal activities, the impacts of COVID-19 on urban mobility persist, particularly with regard to public transport. Consequently, this study looks into the post-pandemic changes in travel patterns, seeking to comprehend the effects on the municipalities and suggest helpful measures geared to achieving more sustainable patterns following the lockdown isolation. The chosen case stu…
Reflections on effects of the urban development policy. A study in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil
The implementation of the City Master Plan of 2001 and its successive updates aimed to promote significant changes in the urban morphology of Montes Claros, MG, Brazil, in terms of decentralization. This study aims to understand the effects of the master plan guidelines related to urban mobility and the alignment of dialogues at the local development level through a set of indicators commonly found in specialized literature. This is an explorator…
Balancing time
Estrutura urbana e mobilidade populacional
O mundo vem testemunhando a rápida disseminação dos casos confirmados da síndrome respiratória aguda por meio do coronavírus (Sars-CoV-2 Covid-19). Nos primeiros meses de pandemia, as estatísticas indicam que as grandes cidades tornaram-se palcos destacados de contágio e disseminação da Covid-19. Diante desse cenário, o presente estudo oferece argumentos que auxiliam na construção e aferição preliminar de três hipóteses: a estrutura urbana e a or…
Espraiamento urbano e exclusão social. Uma análise da acessibilidade dos moradores da cidade do Rio de Janeiro ao mercado de trabalho
Urban sprawl has changed the pattern of population displacement. People now inhabit less urbanized regions, spending more time in public transports to have access to the city's facilities. In this context, this research focuses on measuring the job accessibility of different areas of Rio de Janeiro city to understand what would be the influence of people's location and public transports availability. We used a cumulative opportunity indicator to …
