Planejamento cicloviário urbano utilizando técnicas de geoprocessamento

Abstract

This work presents a proposal for urban planning using geoprocessing techniques, with the municipality of São Borja - Rio Grande do Sul – the target of analysis of urban roads with the capacity to receive road infrastructure for the circulation of bicycles, here called cycling infrastructure. The planning principles considered in this project are in accordance with the intentions of the Ministry of Regional Development in relation to urban mobility in Brazilian cities, and that is why it uses the materials provided by the federal government as technical support in the development of this work. The planning lines follow the proposals of the Reference Book for the Elaboration of Plan for Mobility by Bicycle in Cities and the Brazilian laws, since the city is under the jurisdiction of the national federal government. The bicycle, like motor vehicles, is considered by law to be a transit vehicle and, therefore, also needs safe running structures for its users. For accurate planning and consistent with reality, geoprocessing techniques linked to urban planning were used to formulate the final planning, through the creation of information systems that defined the layouts and eventual engineering decisions, according to the needs and potential of the municipality.
