[en] THE BUS URBAN TRANSPORT SECTOR IN RIO DE JANEIRO AND THE GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSIONS / [pt] O SETOR DE TRANSPORTES URBANOS POR ÔNIBUS NO RIO DE JANEIRO E A EMISSÃO DE GASES DE EFEITO ESTUFA

TAISA DORNELAS ABBAS 02 June 2017 (has links)
[pt] O setor de transporte é importante ator nas emissões de poluentes e gases de efeito estufa. Por isso, estimar as emissões deste setor é essencial para planejar medidas de redução destes poluentes e consequentemente mitigar os efeitos das mudanças climáticas. Neste contexto, na presente dissertação propomos uma metodologia de estimativa de inventário de emissão de gases de efeito estufa para a região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro e fazemos uma projeção para os próximos anos do aumento da frota e de sua respectiva emissão de poluentes. Desta forma, espera-se que os fazedores de política e de planejamento urbano considerem alternativas menos poluentes, bem como investimento em outros modais para suprir o aumento da demanda para a mobilidade nesta região. / [en] Now a day the environmental quality is generating discussions around the world. In this context, the main subject is the global warming and the greenhouse emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change studies, the world is experiencing an increase on its average temperature due to anthropogenic emissions that come mainly from burning fossil fuels (primary cause of the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere) causing the greenhouse effect. It is well known that the atmosphere is composed of various gases, however, some of them act like a blanket in the terrestrial coverage (and therefore are commonly called greenhouse gases) due to the fact allow the ultraviolet rays and solar radiation penetrating into the earth s atmosphere and retain infrared radiation, they are: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons. Scientists believe that global warming was being intensified due to human activities, especially the beginning of the industrial revolution that have intensified the amount of burning fossil fuels and the forest degradation. According to Stern (2007), the earth s temperature increased about 0.7 Celsius degrees since 1900, for that reason, it is believed that global warming has a close relationship with the increase of the greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane ( CH4- commonly measured in terms of equivalent CO2). Despite the uncertainty of the consequences of the CO2 emission, especially in the long run, it is expected that there is a relationship between the increase of this gas and the occurrence of climatic disasters in the world, since unlike most pollutants it s externality occur globally and not locally (IPCC, 2007). According to Schipper and Pelling (2006), climate change resulting from increased greenhouse gas emissions should lead to an increase in global average temperature, which will result in changes in rainfall regime in the coming decades and changes in the frequency and magnitude of risks such as floods and tropical cyclones, for example.

[pt] AVALIAÇÃO DO PROJETO DE INFRAESTRUTURA DO BRT NO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO / [en] EVALUATION OF THE BRT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO

[pt] O Brasil, país pioneiro na implantação do BRT, possui alguns corredores com prioridade para serviços de transporte coletivo por ônibus. O sistema BRT no Rio de Janeiro começou a ser desenvolvido há tempos, mas ficou parado por fatores externos até princípio do ano 2021. A partir dessa data, o seu desenvolvimento foi retomado com uma perspectiva diferente para não cometer os mesmos erros do passado. O novo modelo pretende eliminar o risco de demanda, assim como fazer a separação entre fornecimento e operação dos equipamentos, permitindo a participação de atores especializados. Portanto, neste trabalho pretende determinar a viabilidade do novo modelo implementado do sistema BRT pela perspectiva financeira. Foi feito uma pesquisa geral sobre os principais incentivos governamentais, as características dos BRT e o conhecimento acumulado em diferentes países para a avaliação do modelo de negócio e contrato desenvolvido pela Prefeitura. Além disso foram analisados os fluxos de caixa através dos principais indicadores financeiros. Os resultados mostram que do ponto de vista financeiro o projeto é rentável e lucrativo. O novo modelo permite também uma melhoria na eficiência do sistema de transporte público na cidade e o aumento da satisfação do usuário. A principal contribuição do trabalho é o estudo qualitativo brindando uma comparação entre as diferentes experiências internacionais neste âmbito para conhecer os aspectos favoráveis que se possam ajustar a realidade brasileira da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. / [en] Brazil is a pioneer in the implementation of BRT and has some corridors with priority for public transport services by bus. The BRT system in Rio de Janeiro began to be developed many years ago but was put on hold due to external factors until early 2021, when its development was resumed with a different perspective so as not to make the same mistakes as in the past. The new model intends to eliminate demand risk, as well as implement the separation between supply and operation of the equipment, allowing the inclusion of specialized actors. Therefore, this work intends to determine the feasibility of the new implemented model of the BRT system from a financial perspective. A general survey was carried out on the main government incentives, the characteristics of BRT and the knowledge accumulated in different countries for the evaluation of the business model and contract developed. In addition, cash flow analysis was done using the main financial indicators. The results indicate that from a financial perspective the project is profitable and profitable for the investment. The new model also allows for an improvement in the efficiency of the public transport system in the city and an increase in user satisfaction. The main contribution of the work is the qualitative study providing a comparison between the different international experiences in this field to know the favorable aspects that can adjust to the Brazilian reality of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
