Análise do comportamento espacial de transportes em uma cidade de porte médio - um enfoque desagregado.

Abstract

The present work, about Transport Planning, and more specifically, about trip distribution, introduces a disaggre gated study of the transportation demand in Campina Grande, a 200,000 inhabitant town in Northeast of Brazil. The data used here belong to a survey taken place in 1978, by GEIP0T, the brazilian agency for Transport Planning. The population has been divided in five income levels. Then, 0-D matrices were obtained for each of those groups. The study also presents two techniques to show numerically the effect of disaggregation on trip pattern: Transinformation and Linear Correlation Among the several trip distribution models mentioned here, the gravity model with friction factor is used in its aggregated and disaggregated forms, showing better results for the latter. Finally, it is important to regard this report as a contribution to the study of the in-site transportation problem, for the data used refer to the popjj lation of Campina Grande.
