Conveying a Management Model for Urban Mobility Systems

Abstract

The objective of the set of two papers, of which this one is the first, is to provide the evidence on how a management model developed for urban mobility systems was applied in the Brazilian reality, highlighting the fact that whenever a model is adopted by a running system, three elements are critical to pursue such an endeavor: the model contents and underlying rationale; the political opportunity; the implementation process. This paper presents the structure and the rational for the model. A second paper deals with the implementation process. The reading of both papers is recommended for a full understanding.
