Estudo sobre a viabilidade e implantação de infraestrutura cicloviária no trecho Ufpb – UNIPÊ na Cidade de João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

The work brings questions of urban mobility, analyzing the use and demand of a certain route between the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) and the University Center of João Pessoa (UNIPÊ), in the city of João Pessoa / PB, of approximately 2.1 kilometers, through the conditions of the existing road infrastructure and the possibility of implanting a lane for cyclists with the purpose of verifying their cycling potential. Some other factors are also relevant to the cyclist's use of the road, such as safety, gaps, etc. In addition to performing a geometric survey of the track, the work analyzes, through the volume of vehicles, the best road infrastructure that should be implemented. According to the analysis, the proposed infrastructure was a cycleway, defining its 2.50 meters dimension (minimum width for a bicycle lane), in order to guarantee greater comfort and safety to the user, so that he can choose another option of locomotion more healthy and supportable.
