I28-R145-9206_oai2023-08-08 Scarpelli Aguiar Pacheco, Cristiano Dutra Dias Viola, Priscilla 2022-11-16 Many factors can determine one’s choice to use the bicycle. These factors may vary according to the individual's socioeconomic profile and characteristics of the environment such as the climate. The impact of the climate on cycling can be complex since factors related to comfort can play an important role in the decision to bike and cyclists are completely exposed to weather conditions. Thus, this paper proposes to analyze the main climatic variables that influence the flow of cyclists in the city of Belo Horizonte. The variables tested were temperature, humidity, precipitation and cloudiness. The variables that showed the best result to explain variability in the flow of cyclists were humidity and precipitation. The model found a high explanatory power for the humidity in which the willingness to cycle increases as the relative humidity increases between 30% and 50%. The model also suggests that rain is a significant factor where for each 1mm increase in rainfall there is a 0.75% drop in the number of cyclists. This work highlights the importance of the public sector to consider climatic variables in urban planning and in the construction of mobility public policies. Muitos são os fatores que determinam a escolha de uma pessoa em utilizar ou não a bicicleta. Esses fatores podem estar relacionados às características socioeconômicas do indivíduo e às caraterísticas do ambiente, como o clima. O impacto do clima no ciclismo pode ser complexo uma vez que os fatores relacionados ao conforto podem ter um peso importante na decisão de usar a bicicleta e os ciclistas estão completamente expostos às intempéries. Diante disso, o trabalho se propôs a analisar as principais variáveis climáticas que influenciam no fluxo de ciclistas em Belo Horizonte. As variáveis testadas foram temperatura, umidade, precipitação e nebulosidade. As variáveis que apresentaram melhor resultado para explicar variabilidade no fluxo de ciclistas foram umidade e precipitação. O modelo encontrou um alto poder explicativo para a variável umidade, em que a disposição para pedalar aumenta conforme a umidade relativa do ar cresce entre 30% e 50%. O modelo também sugere que a variável chuva é significante onde para cada acréscimo de 1mm de chuva há uma queda 0,75% no número de ciclistas. Este trabalho destaca a importância de o poder público considerar as variáveis climáticas nos processos de planejamento urbano e de construção de políticas públicas de mobilidade. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/9206 10.34096/rtt.i26.9206 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/9206/10780 Derechos de autor 2022 Revista Transporte y Territorio Revista Transporte y Territorio; Núm. 26 (2022): Enero-Junio 1852-7175 Bicycle.

Many factors can determine one’s choice to use the bicycle. These factors may vary according to the individual's socioeconomic profile and characteristics of the environment such as the climate. The impact of the climate on cycling can be complex since factors related to comfort can play an important role in the decision to bike and cyclists are completely exposed to weather conditions. Thus, this paper proposes to analyze the main climatic variables that influence the flow of cyclists in the city of Belo Horizonte. The variables tested were temperature, humidity, precipitation and cloudiness. The variables that showed the best result to explain variability in the flow of cyclists were humidity and precipitation. The model found a high explanatory power for the humidity in which the willingness to cycle increases as the relative humidity increases between 30% and 50%. The model also suggests that rain is a significant factor where for each 1mm increase in rainfall there is a 0.75% drop in the number of cyclists. This work highlights the importance of the public sector to consider climatic variables in urban planning and in the construction of mobility public policies. |
