Sistema de bicicletas compartilhadas: estudo de caso da demanda nas estações e suas características de entorno no município de Cascavel - PR

Abstract

Sustainable mobility has become a significant factor in the urban planning of cities in recent years, intending to mitigate the impacts of mobility on society, among them, the increase in congestion, traffic accidents and difficulty in locomotion of the population. In this context, the bicycle-sharing systems emerge, proposing to be an option for sustainable transport. Many cities have already joined this system, as well as the city of Cascavel-PR. The implementation of this system aims to minimize the problems of urban mobility, as well as encourage the practice of physical activities, contributing to tourism and leisure sustainable. Thus, this work has as its main objective the study of this bicycle-sharing system, to identify the demand for bike-sharing systems with external characteristics that affect its use, through the development of a mathematical model obtained by the method of multiple linear regression. The results showed that the location of the stations, according to their environments, influences their use by users, it can be observed that the stations close to green areas had a more significant influence on the use of shared bicycles. With this case study, it was possible to obtain two mathematical models that make it possible to estimate the potential use of each station, providing the number of bicycles picked up and returned based on the data collected. Thus, the equations can help in planning the implementation of new stations and for studies of new systems in other regions.
