Abstract

Located in South America, Brazil has continental dimensions and a population of approximately 203 million. As expected, the country has many mobility challenges and issues, as well as various research gaps and opportunities to promote improvements in urban transportation planning. This article aims to present some of these mobility challenges, such as the lack of transportation surveys and data in many Brazilian cities, decreased demand for public transport, increased demand for ridesourcing, telecommuting, COVID-19, and freight transport. We also mentioned the National Association for Transportation Research and Teaching (ANPET in Portuguese) and its important role in promoting annual conferences and supporting transportation research and education in the country. After making some critical reflections, we have outlined various research challenges that aim to improve the future of mobility in Brazil.

巴西的运输挑战和研究机会

巴西位于南美洲，地处大陆，人口约 2.03 亿。不出所料，巴西面临着许多交通挑战和问题，同时也存在各种研究空白和机遇，以促进城市交通规划的改善。本文旨在介绍其中一些交通挑战，如巴西许多城市缺乏交通调查和数据，对公共交通的需求减少，对搭乘外包、远程办公、COVID-19 和货运的需求增加。我们还提到了全国交通研究与教学协会（葡萄牙语为 ANPET）及其在促进年度会议和支持国内交通研究与教育方面所发挥的重要作用。在进行了一些批判性思考之后，我们概述了旨在改善巴西未来交通状况的各种研究挑战。
