This study aims to present the results of a systematic literature research developed to identify methodologies, models and scientific planning methods, and valuation of environmental costs in transport, which should serve as theoretical and technical basis for the development of a specific methodological contribution, for sustainable planning, reduction of energy consumption, low pollutant emissions, the urban environment of cities, and for the transport of people. The research carefully selected articles that have demonstrated the potential application of the concepts of sustainable logistics, green logistics and low-carbon logistics in public transport of people. In the second stage, applications directed to transport planning and valuation of environmental costs in transport were identified in these articles, such as pollutant emissions and energy consumption to standardize the concepts, understand them and use them to build a model. It was possible to identify 20 different methods with common objectives of transport sustainability and to build a methodological proposal of sustainable urban transport planning (MPTS-URB), whose contribution is a joint approach of sustainability, economic study, demand and transportation capacity factors, in which all work in harmony. Following this research, it is intended to apply the methodology built-MPTS-URB in the sample environment and to analyze its results.
In general, it can be said that patterns of energy production and consumption have been based on fossil fuels, which generate emissions of local pollutants; greenhouse gases (GHGs) and jeopardize the energy supply long-term on the planet. Concerning urban transport, Brazilian cities have developed with an emphasis on road transport. Thus, it is relevant to study energy efficiency in transport, to implement good solutions that meet the movements of users, and promote the efficient use of natural resources. This paper aims to estimate, on a network of fictitious transport, energy efficiency displacement of a given passenger demand using different modes of transport to measure the energy efficiency of the network. Specifically, we intend to verify and compare the energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in intermodal transport by rail modes - Light Rail (LRT) and bus - bus. The methodology was developed based on documentary and bibliographical research for data collection, and applied operations research techniques to assess the energy efficiency of the simulated network. The review includes the study of transport, its indispensability, and its influence on the environment. Energy efficiency in the transport matrix and the use of operations research as a support tool for optimization models are discussed. Finally, it observed that the modal integration, feeder system - distributor system - is an efficient solution as the energy consumption and GHG emissions. The methodology proved to be satisfactory and relevant and can be used for larger networks and real scenarios. As a continuation of this study is developing a methodological contribution to sustainable planning of urban passenger transport ( MPTS - URB ), which aims to estimate the monetary cost of energy efficiency from data on emissions and energy consumption by transport modes used in the transport network.
De um modo geral, pode-se afirmar que os padrões de produção e consumo de energia vêm sendo baseados nas fontes fósseis, o que gera emissões de poluentes locais, gases de efeito estufa (GEEs) e põem em risco o suprimento energético de longo prazo no planeta. No âmbito do transporte urbano, as cidades brasileiras se desenvolveram com ênfase no modo rodoviário. Assim, é relevante estudar a eficiência energética no transporte, para implementar boas soluções, que atendam os deslocamentos dos usuários, e promovam o uso eficiente dos recursos naturais. O objetivo geral deste artigo é estimar, em uma rede de transportes teórica, a eficiência energética do deslocamento de uma determinada demanda de passageiros, utilizando diferentes modos de transporte, a fim de medir a eficiência energética da rede. Especificamente, pretende-se verificar e comparar o consumo de energia e as emissões de gás carbônico no transporte intermodal, pelos modos ferroviário – Veículo Leve sobre Trilhos (VLT) e rodoviário - ônibus. A metodologia foi desenvolvida com base em pesquisa documental e bibliográfica para levantamento de dados, e aplicada técnica de pesquisa operacional para avaliação da eficiência energética da rede simulada. A revisão abrange o estudo do transporte, sua indispensabilidade e influência no meio ambiente. São abordadas a eficiência energética na matriz de transporte e o uso de pesquisa operacional como ferramenta de apoio para modelos de otimização. Ao final, foi possível identificar que a integração modal, sistema alimentador – distribuidor – é uma solução eficiente quanto ao consumo de energia e emissões de GEEs. A metodologia, mostrou-se satisfatória e pertinente, podendo ser utilizada para redes maiores e cenários reais. Como continuidade deste estudo está sendo desenvolvida uma contribuição metodológica para planejamento sustentável de transporte urbano de passageiros (MPTS-URB), a qual pretende estimar o custo monetário da eficiência energética a partir de dados de emissão de poluentes e consumo de energia pelos modos de transporte utilizados na rede.
