Mobilidade urbana: um modelo integrado dos modais de transporte de passageiros da Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza (RMF)

Abstract

The metropolitan region of Fortaleza has been experiencing significant demographic growth, which has consequently increased the movement of people. Today, Fortaleza polarizes the activities of the state and neighboring states, with zone of commercial influence to the northern region. Within this context, the modal integration of public transport is fundamental to ensure population mobility in an efficient, safe, sustainable and economical manner. The possibilities of physical integration between road and subway modes and new forms of locomotion for short distances were studied. The subway system is relatively new and is still evolving in a growing number of users. Along with the road environment this growth can be enhanced and brought to the population, bringing more benefits to all, however there are many technical and operational difficulties for this integration. The road system is divided between the city of Fortaleza and the metropolitan service provided by the state, and the political obstacles are not favorable for a satisfactory progress in this field. From interviews with the main agencies involved in transportation and the population that makes use of these systems, it was possible to identify dissatisfaction with the service provided and anxiety for integration and agility in mobility within the chaotic urban fabric. The work aims to bring an intermediate solution, until it is possible to achieve full integration of the modes just as it happens in the major metropolises around the world, proposing an integration platform that allows the user to make the decision on the best way to travel. to your destination and have other services in one smartphone app, making it easy for users to move around.
