Proposta de implantação do sistema de veículo leve sobre trilhos na região central de Caxias do Sul/RS

Abstract

The current public transport of Caxias do Sul, the bus, has become outdated, and represents a negative image of the system. In contrast, the current scenarios in medium and large cities require that public transport be more widely used. In addition to being efficient, the public service must be attractive, and the LRV provides necessary attributes. This study highlights the importance of bringing this concept to the city of Caxias do Sul, and also praises the advantages of implementing this system, such as redeveloping a historic area, in the case of Júlio de Castilhos avenue, which in recent years has become a problem. The study analyzes the implementation of the system in two scenarios, the first one being a straight line, at the Júlio de Castilhos avenue and the second a circular route, at Júlio de Castilhos, Italy and SInimbu avenues. With the research is possible to conclude that the impacts to the implementation of the system are great, and above all it is necessary to be aware of the importance of using mas transportation. The study is based on the case studies of mobility projects of other cities, as well as presents the other requirements for the implementation of the system. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
