No Brasil e em São Paulo as políticas públicas de mobilidade urbana foram historicamente orientadas para promover a fluidez dos automóveis. A partir do século XXI, particularmente na segunda década, o debate sobre mobilidade se desloca, passando a focar nas pessoas, ao invés de veículos, e na promoção de modos ativos. Esta pesquisa se insere neste contexto, analisando o instrumento de controle de impacto no sistema de circulação urbana denominado Polos Geradores de Tráfego. A partir de novos conceitos referenciais para mobilidade urbana, discutimos a evolução do marco regulatório referencial para este instrumento. Analisamos, então, como ele tem sido aplicado pela Companhia de Engenharia de Tráfego através de uma ampla amostra desses empreendimentos e do estudo de caso comparativo entre dois shopping centers em São Paulo. Os resultados indicam que o instrumento tratado aqui e sua aplicação apresentam baixa aderência às condições territoriais, levando a uma abordagem limitada dos elementos de produção e atração de viagens. Com esta pesquisa, esperamos contribuir para o debate atual sobre a produção de cidades mais sustentáveis e mais acessíveis espacial e socialmente. / In Brazil and in São Paulo, the public policies concerning urban mobility have been historically oriented to promote the traffic flow for automobile. On the beginning of the XXI century, and particularly on its second decade, the debate about mobility started to a focus on people, rather than vehicles, and on the promotion of active modes. In this context, this research analysis the instrument used to control the impact on the circulation system, entitled Traffic Generating Poles. Based on new references for mobility policies we discuss the evolution of the regulatory framework for this instrument. We analyze how it has been implemented by the Traffic Engineering Company through a large sample of these buildings and a case study comparing two shopping centers in São Paulo. The results indicate that the instrument and its implementation present a low adherence to the conditions of the territory, leading to a limited approach on the elements of production and attraction of trips. With this research, we hope to contribute to the current debate on the production of cities that are more accessible both spatially and socially, and more environmentally friendly.

O objetivo deste estudo foi elaborar uma estratégia para avaliação da resiliência na mobilidade urbana, focando-se na restrição ao transporte motorizado. Assim, assumiu-se hipoteticamente que as viagens poderiam ser feitas apenas a pé ou de bicicleta. As viagens foram classificadas como persistentes, adaptáveis e transformáveis. As viagens persistentes e adaptáveis foram consideradas resilientes, enquanto as viagens transformáveis foram consideradas vulneráveis. Uma nova segmentação precisou ser criada para este trabalho: a excepcionalidade, que engloba viagens por modo a pé ou bicicleta além dos limites das Distâncias Máximas Possíveis (DMP). Os estudos de caso foram feitos na cidade de São Carlos e em um conjunto de três municípios da Região Metropolitana de Maceió (RMM): Maceió, Rio Largo e Satuba. No estudo em São Carlos, o pior cenário teve 40,4% de resiliência, e atingiu 100% com 11 km de DMP de bicicleta. Na RMM, o cenário mais pessimista apresentou uma resiliência de 43,0%, e atingiu o seu máximo aos 28 km. Os resultados também revelaram diferentes padrões espaciais de viagens para cada condição da resiliência. Em São Carlos, viagens persistentes apresentaram um padrão pontual. Viagens adaptáveis mostraram um padrão radial. As viagens transformáveis exibiam um padrão mais diametral, de um extremo ao outro da cidade. A análise por zona mostrou que as viagens transformáveis têm maior frequência em zonas afastadas do centro da cidade. Em RMM, os padrões encontrados foram semelhantes. As viagens persistentes, por exemplo, também eram predominantemente intrazonais. Além disso, as viagens adaptáveis tornaram-se mais concentradas em partes específicas da área urbanizada (por exemplo, ao norte da região), a medida que os valores de DMP aumentaram. O trabalho mostra a necessidade da adoção de políticas de incentivo aos modos ativos de transporte, no intuito de diminuir a dependência da sociedade de veículos motorizados. / The objective of this study was the development of a strategy to evaluate how urban mobility resilience would be affected by constraints imposed to motorized transport modes. The analysis was based on the hypothetical assumption that only walking and cycling trips would be possible. The trips were initially classified as persistent, adaptable and transformable. Trips in the first two groups were considered resilient trips, whereas the trips in the third group were vulnerable trips. A fourth category was created to accommodate walking and cycling trips that went beyond the Maximum Distances (MD) per mode that were also defined as part of the method. Case studies were conducted in the city of São Carlos and in Maceió Metropolitan Region (MMR), which contains three municipalities: Maceió, Rio Largo and Satuba. In the case of São Carlos, we found a resilience value of 40.4% in the worst scenario. Resilience values would increase for larger MD values, reaching a maximum resilience of 100% for a MD of 11 km. In MMR, the minimum resilience value found was 43.0%, and the maximum resilience value corresponded to a MD of 28 km. The results also indicated different spatial patterns for each group of trips. In São Carlos, persistent trips were mainly intrazonal trips, adaptable trips had a radial pattern, and transformable trips crossed the urban area. The analysis per zone have shown a concentration of transformable trips in zones far from the city center. In MMR, the patterns were similar. Persistent trips, for example, were also mostly intrazonal trips. In addition, adaptable trips became more concentrated in specific parts of the urbanized area (e.g. the northern part of the region) as MD values increased. This study indicate the need for policies that encourage the use of active modes of transportation, in order to decrease the dependence of society in motorized vehicles.

Den allmänna fysiska aktiviteten har stadigt minskat i stora delar av världen. Aktiva skoltransporter, till vilka gång och cykel räknas, visar på en liknande trend. Samtidigt kan fysisk aktivitet bland annat motverka olika former av cancer, hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar samt fetma och övervikt. Det har visats att det finns ett samband mellan socioekonomiska variabler och grad av fysisk aktivitet. Socioekonomi kan således vara en viktig påverkande faktor i frågan om hälsa och välbefinnande, både för vuxna och barn. Statistiska analyser, i kombination med geografisk metodik och rumslig analys är användbart när ojämlikhet studeras då socioekonomiska skillnader ofta är platsbunden och hänger samman med den byggda miljön. Studien visar att en nätverksanalys tillsammans med en friktionsekvation kan användas i arbetet med förändringar av den fysiska miljön för att skapa säkrare vägar där barn och vuxna vill gå och cykla till skola, arbete och fritidsaktiviteter. Verktyget som arbetats fram i studien kan exempelvis vara användbart för kommuner, länsstyrelser och stadsplanerare i arbetet för att främja en mer aktiv livsstil. Fokus ligger i första hand på att underlätta samhällsplaneringsarbete i syfte att gynna användandet av aktiva transportsätt för barn och ungdomar. Vidare visar studien att barn från familjer med högre inkomst tenderar att transportera sig med bil framför aktiva transportsätt. Även gällande vårdnadshavarnas födelseland och utbildningsnivå syns skillnader i val av transportsätt. Rörande utbildningsnivå finns indikationer på att aktiva transportsätt väljs bort när utbildningsnivån ökar. Angående födelseland verkar barn vars vårdnadshavare är födda utanför Europa välja bort bilen och istället använda sig av aktiva transportsätt, vilket är det motsatta gällande barn vars vårdnadshavare är födda i Sverige. Kopplingen mellan socioekonomiska faktorer och transportsätt förefaller vara förknippad till resurser i Stockholms kommun. Studien visar på hur en harmonisering mellan olika aktörer såsom forskare, myndigheter och kommuner skulle kunna leda till förbättrade förutsättningar för aktiva transporter och i förlängningen till ett mer hållbart samhälle ur ett socialt, ekonomiskt och miljömässigt perspektiv. / General physical activity has steadily declined in large parts of the world, concurrently active school transport, e.g. walking and cycling, shows a similar trend. The decrease in the amount of physical activity is urgent since it can counteract various forms of cancer, cardiovascular disease as well as obesity. It has been shown that there is a relationship between socioeconomic variables and degree of physical activity. Socioeconomics can thus be an important influencing factor regarding health and well-being, both for adults and children. Statistical analysis, in combination with geographical methodology and spatial analysis, is useful when studying inequality as socio-economic differences often are local and related to the built environment. The study shows that a network analysis together with a friction equation can be used in the work of changing the physical environment to create safer roads where children and adults want to walk and cycle to school, work and leisure activities. The tool developed in the study can be useful for municipalities, county councils and city planners in their work to promote a more active lifestyle. The focus is primarily on facilitating community planning work with the aim of promoting the use of active modes of transport for children and adolescents. Furthermore, the study shows that children from families with higher incomes tend to transport themselves by car over active modes of transport. Differences in the choice of mode of transport are also apparent regarding the country of birth and the level of education. Regarding education level there are indications that active modes of transport are neglected when the education level increases. Concerning the country of birth, children whose guardians are born outside Europe appear not to use the car as a mode of transport, and instead use active modes of transport. On the contrary, children whose guardians are born in Sweden tend to have the car as their primary mode of transport. The connection between socio-economic factors and modes of transport seems to be linked to resources in Stockholm municipality. Moreover, this study shows how a harmonization between different actors such as researchers, authorities and municipalities could lead to improved conditions for active transport and, by extension, to a more sustainable society from a social, economic and environmental perspective.

Multimodality is a main requirement for future Urban Traffic Control (UTC). For cities and traffic engineers to implement multimodal UTC, a holistic, multimodal assessment of UTC measures is needed. This paper proposes a Multimodal Performance Index (MPI), which considers the delays and number of stops of different transport modes that are weighted to each other. To determine suitable mode-specific weights, a case study for the German city Ingolstadt is conducted using the microscopic simulation tool SUMO. In the case study, different UTC measures (bus priority, coordination for cyclists, coordination for private vehicle traffic) are implemented to a varying extent and evaluated according to different weight settings. The MPI calculation is done both network-wide and intersection-specific. The results indicate that a weighting according to the occupancy level of modes, as mainly proposed in the literature so far, is not sufficient. This applies particularly to cycling, which should be weighted according to its positive environmental impact instead of its occupancy. Besides, the modespecific weights have to correspond to the traffic-related impact of the mode-specific UTC measures. For Ingolstadt, the results are promising for a weighting according to the current modal split and a weighting with incentives for sustainable modes.

Cette thèse est consacrée au phénomène du renouveau de la marche en milieu urbain. Depuis une dizaine d’années, un grand nombre de villes en Europe et ailleurs ont entamé une réflexion en profondeur sur la promotion de la marche sur leur territoire. Cette démarche est accompagnée d’opérations de valorisation urbanistique, à différentes échelles, dans une optique de développement intégré de la ville dite multimodale. La marche est ici considérée non pas uniquement pour elle-même, mais en tant que pivot de la multimodalité. Ce thème porteur de nouvelles dynamiques d’aménagement qui transforment le fait urbain est analysé à partir d’un cadre théorique transversal à la croisée de l’urbanisme, la géographie, la sociologie et l’anthropologie urbaines. La méthode employée est fondée sur l’observation participante multi-terrains, prenant comme cas d’étude principaux Lausanne, Genève et Bilbao. A partir des expériences menées par ces villes pour promouvoir la marche à différentes échelles, la thèse construit son plaidoyer autour de l’échelle de l’agglomération, envisagée comme la seule à même de pouvoir véritablement assurer le renouveau de la marche dans le contexte de la ville du XXIe siècle. Ce plaidoyer récapitule les raisons qui font de cette nouvelle échelle de réflexion, a priori inattendue, une étape nécessaire pour garantir l’intégration de la marche au sein de stratégies multimodales complexes au sein de bassins de vie toujours plus étendus. La thèse passe ainsi en revue diverses actions pour redonner à la marche ses lettres de noblesse et lui assurer la place qui lui revient au sein du système de mobilité complexe qui fonde aujourd’hui le monde urbain. / This thesis deals with the renewal of walking in the urban realm since the last decade. A great number of cities in Europe and abroad have been promoting walking since the year 2000 with renewed energy. This trend accompanies operations of urban renewal through different scales within the integrated framework of new urbanism, transit-oriented development, to match the desire of these urban authorities to make their territory a more walkable place in order to become sustainable and liveable cities. These changes are analysed through the intricated prisma of several urban disciplines, namely geography, sociology and anthropology. A multi-site participant observation methodology has been applied to the case studies of Lausanne, Geneva and Bilbao to extract from their experiences the utmost in walking promotion tools and positive visions for a walkable future. The hypothesis of this work is based on the bold assumption that the scale of the agglomeration is the best scale today to think and plan for walking in our urban scattered environments. Walking is therefore to be considered beyond proximity alone. It is better taken when synergies may evolve from intertwining its nearness dynamics with the potential offered by the scale and speed of other modes of transport, namely public transport and shared modes. Within this framework of thought, the thesis reviews facts and figures as well as best practices in order to give walking the place it deserves within our multimodal world.
