The Impact

AbstractThe Brazilian Urban Mobility Policy integrates urban transport with traffic planning, establishing appropriate public policies that indicate the need for a safe and accessible public transport system. The major challenge is the inclusion of the elderly and people with disabilities. In this paper, we quantify the impact of rainfall on the number of people with disabilities and elderly people who use the public bus transportation system for accessibility in the first and last miles in the city of São Paulo. The proposed methodology is used to evaluate the co-movements between the time series of free-fare users and rainfall in São Paulo. The findings confirm the hypothesis that significant rainfall causes a reduction in the number of daily free-fare passengers who use the public bus system in São Paulo.

Both Paris and São Paulo are cities which feature notably distinct occupation histories. As of secondary data and by means of a bibliographical review that sought to collate standpoints of authors engaged in the fields of urban planning and mobility - in addition to urban mobility systems ideation and development historians and scholars – the historical report wherein mobile impairments evolved at each of the mentioned large urban centres, was summarized into a case study, encompassing from emergence to the 20th. Century - a period both cities experienced pivotal transformations - although these took place in substantially diverse manners. To this effect, reasoning was also gathered so as to, in overview, characterize the challenges that urban mobility, for thousands of years, continues to bring about to cohabitation within restricted space, at large cities. Much conversely to being a recent matter of issue, it is a challenge that remains and changes, although some of its core elements have been found to be breathtakingly perseverant throughout history. Conclusion resides in comments relative to a selection of contemporary alternatives that are currently in use at both cities so as to better direct the addressing of the urban mobility issue and also includes a set of alternatives deemed best successful than that known as solutions to this problem which strong holds its very presence at all major cities of the globe.

RESUMOAs cidades brasileiras enfrentam sérios problemas de mobilidade urbana causados, principalmente, pelo padrão de desenvolvimento urbano (disperso, segregado e dependente do modal rodoviário). O aumento dos congestionamentos e acidentes, a precariedade do transporte coletivo público, o aumento das distâncias percorridas no cotidiano e a falta de infraestruturas necessárias tem se tornando, cada vez mais, problemas estruturais nas cidades. Este artigo propõe um diagnóstico da mobilidade urbana em Piracicaba, interior do estado de São Paulo, através do sistema cicloviário como alternativa para o panorama atual de mobilidade na cidade. Como metodologia, realizou-se levantamento bibliográfico, de dados e documental; trabalhos em campo e mapeamento temático. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam para sérios problemas da mobilidade urbana apresentados na cidade, tais como o aumento na frota de automóveis (67%) e motocicletas (150%) entre os anos de 2002 e 2015 além de um sistema cicloviário deficitário, com trechos que não interligam as principais áreas das cidades, possuindo um caráter de lazer ao invés de funcional para as atividades do cotidiano da população.Palavras-chaves: Mobilidade Urbana; Sistema cicloviário; Piracicaba – São Paulo. ABSTRACTBrazilian cities have been facing serious urban mobility problems caused mainly by the pattern of urban development (dispersed, segregated and road modal dependent). The increases in traffic jams and accidents, the precarious public transport, the increase in daily life distances and the lack of necessary infrastructure are increasingly becoming structural problems in cities. This article proposes a diagnosis of urban mobility in the Piracicaba, in São Paulo state interior, through the bicycle system as an alternative to the current panorama of mobility in the city. As methodology, a bibliographical and data survey was carried out, also field work and thematic mapping. The results show serious urban mobility problems in the city, such as the increase in the car fleet (67%) and motorcycles (150%) from 2002 to 2015 and a deficient bicycle system, with non-interconnected paths to the city’s main areas and having a leisure character rather than functional for the population daily activities.Keywords: Urban Mobility; Bicycle path system; Piracicaba - São Paulo.

Use Of Data

Resumen La planeación de la movilidad urbana requiere utilización de datos masivos para apoyar la toma de decisiones y realizar proyecciones estratégicas, es así como muchos gobiernos locales no poseen la capacidad para generar los datos necesarios. Sin embargo, empresas privadas como Waze Moovit, Stava y Uber (gestores de aplicativos móviles de movilidad) tienen la capacidad de producir estos datos y, además, han demostrado su disponibilidad para compartirlos y así mejorar las condiciones de la planeación de la movilidad en las ciudades. En América del Sur, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo y Medellín, son casos de ciudades que se convirtieron en ejemplos de innovación en el de uso de datos. Con base en la experiencia de estas ciudades y en encuestas aplicadas con representantes de empresas gestoras de Apps de movilidad y de gobiernos, en este artículo se propone un modelo de tres niveles para el uso de datos en beneficio de la gestión y planeación de la movilidad urbana. El modelo propuesto tiene como objetivo trazar parámetros que ayuden a las ciudades a desarrollar una visión en cuanto al potencial de los datos para generar acciones y políticas públicas de movilidad urbana.  Palabras clave: Apps de movilidad; Big Data; gestión de tráfico colaborativo; movilidad Inteligente; planificación del tránsito; planificación urbana; Smart Cities; transporte;   Abstract Urban mobility planning is included in a global scenario of increasing use of massive data to support decision making. However, many local governments do not have a structure that produces the data necessary to base their strategic projections. At the same time, private companies - such as Waze and Moovit (mobile application mobility managers) - have the ability to produce this data and, in addition, have demonstrated their availability to share them and thus improve planning conditions in cities. Nevertheless, managing this data and using it for the benefit of better urban planning and management is not a simple task. In South America, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Medellín have overcome important obstacles in this trajectory and became examples of innovation in the use of data. Based on the experience of these cities - and on surveys conducted with representatives of mobile apps companies and governments -, this article proposes a three-level model for the use of data for the benefit of urban mobility management and planning. The proposed model is in its initial stage and aims to draw parameters that help cities to develop a vision regarding the potential of data to generate actions and public policies of urban mobility.

The objective of this research was to analyse the public policies of urban mobility promoted by the São Paulo City Hall, through bodies such as CET (Traffic Engineering Company), SPTrans (São Paulo Transportations SA) and the Municipal Transport Secretariat, between 2013 and 2016. The period corresponds to the mandate of the then mayor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad (PT). The analysis was based on a historical and theoretical recapitulation to better understand and evaluate the transformations in the orientation and execution of the policies of that period in question.

The Impact

This manuscript seeks to evaluate changes in the travel behavior of young children (5-6 y/o.) and their caregivers following the implementation of a 4-month program in public preschools in São Paulo (Brazil) with a high prevalence of low-income immigrants. The program was developed around two intervention types: i) weekly inquiry sessions about urban mobility through the Philosophy with Children approach and ii) bimonthly outdoor walking activities in the surroundings of schools. In this way, it was possible to observe positive changes in the perceptions of children’s statements and in the social norms of their caregivers about transportation, as well as significant modal shifts of caregivers towards sustainable mobility, which were evaluated using difference-in-differences and time-series analyses. Besides the identification of changes in the behavior of adult caregivers through child-centered intervention types, this empirical research enabled unraveling the effect of the proposed measures according to the child’s gender, nationality, and level of social vulnerability, including the significant modal shifts towards walking and cycling identified among boys and out of car and motorcycle among native children, which were significant both in post and follow-up measures.In addition to contributions to the evaluation of school-based interventions with data from developing countries, the discussions presented in this paper intend to provide insights into the role of early childhood and perceptions in behavioral changes towards sustainable transport.

This paper discusses the recent territorial reconfiguration in four cities of the Central Administrative Region of the state of São Paulo, through axes of analysis that mainly cover real estate dynamics and urban mobility. As from the cities of São Carlos, Ibaté, Araraquara, and Matão, a very specific territorial reconfiguration process is proposed in the medium and small cities of the state, as a result of a much more registered housing production in a context of financing which marks the production of the city itself, than in response to the more general picture of effective demands for housing in these cities, legitimized by local-scale urban legislation, and the misused use of urban tools recognized for the right to fairer cities.
