Abstract
Brazil has several problems related to urban mobility. These issues are most evident in big cities where the territorial extension and the complex activities developed in urban space become transportation planning difficult. Therefore, Brazilian cities face challenges to implement the Brazilian Urban Mobility Policy (BUMP) requirements. Since this enactment, in 2012, several studies have been developed to evaluate the impacts of the mitigations proposed by this law. Among these studies, a proposition of a System Dynamics (SD) model to assess the effects of this policy stands out. This model allows verifying the impact of different BUMP mitigation measures (individually and together). Therefore, this paper aims to obtain and to compare the results of the application of this SD model in two Brazilian megacities: Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The results show the importance of BUMP implementation to reduce the negative externalities of transport systems and improve their efficiency. However, the effects of this policy are not the same for the two megacities.
期刊介绍:
Municipal Engineer publishes international peer reviewed research, best practice, case study and project papers reports. The journal proudly enjoys an international readership and actively encourages international Panel members and authors. The journal covers the effect of civil engineering on local community such as technical issues, political interface and community participation, the sustainability agenda, cultural context, and the key dimensions of procurement, management and finance. This also includes public services, utilities, and transport. Research needs to be transferable and of interest to a wide international audience. Please ensure that municipal aspects are considered in all submissions. We are happy to consider research papers/reviews/briefing articles.
