Análise da evolução dos padrões de mobilidade no sistema de transporte coletivo por ônibus em Fortaleza utilizando Bbig Data.

Abstract

The public transportation system in Brazil has been losing demand in recent decades. Due to the important role of this system in promoting equitable access, it is essential to know the mobility patterns of its users and how these patterns vary spatially and temporally. Thus, the main objective of this work is to characterize the mobility patterns of the users of the public transportation system by bus from Fortaleza using Big Data. The study was based on some hypotheses about the mobility patterns, and the spatialization and temporal variability of these patterns in Fortaleza. Four main groups were identified based on similar characteristics of system usage. Based on the spatial and temporal variability analyses between 2014 and 2018, it was shown that users living in peripheral areas, possibly using the system to access work activities, are the ones that have been mostly leaving the system over the years.
