Abstract

The disorderly growth of cities has contributed to the increase in people's displacement, causing individuals to spend more time to reach their destinations, however there are ways to mitigate this problem, planning urban mobility, thus contributing to people using the time spent in transit for leisure or work, enabling greater productivity. Faced with this problem, this research had a general objective: to analyze the potential for the implementation of a segregated and temporal lane for public transport. The method for preparing the work was to carry out a field research in order to collect the times of public transport on a given route, and also a documentary research in the system operator's database, in order to survey consumption of fuel to travel a route during peak hours and between peaks. It is concluded that the implementation of the segregated lane for public transport allows the city of Cachoeira do Sul to demonstrate its interest in prioritizing urban mobility and valuing care for the environment, providing its inhabitants with a more qualified and reliable displacement, in addition to of creating an expectation of increasing the attractiveness and preference of the citizen, the segregation of traffic will also reduce the influence of individual transport on the collective in the stretch.
