O modal cicloviário na cidade de Pato Branco – PR: análise do atual sistema cicloviário e das vias do anel central

Abstract

Aiming at the sustainable development of cities, this study aims to evaluate the existing bicycle infrastructure in the city of Pato Branco - PR, as well as to analyze a delimited area within the central region of the city focusing on the implementation of a cycleway route. For the evaluation of the existing bicycle infrastructure, the IMUS - Urban Sustainable Mobility Index tool was used in a partial way. For the analysis of the routes, the following tools were used: Sorton and Walsh Stress Level and Epperson-Davis Road Conditions Index (ICV). Crossing the results obtained by the tools and the subjective evaluation performed in the field, the final classification of the pathways was presented in a synthesis map. It was concluded, regarding the current cycle system, that this is not being thought in an integrated way. In relation to the area delimited in the central region, it was verified that most of the roads have great potential in behaving cycleway routes.
