  6. COPPETEC FOUNDATION COPPETEC was created in 1970 – one of the administrative units of COPPE To increase its autonomy and flexibility, COPPETEC Foundation was established in 1993 – non profit organization

  7. 2.134 Under development Projects in 2005 Total Budget - $ 57.7 million 38%Energy studies

  8. TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROGRAM - PET • 12 Associate Professors • 2 Professors • almost 150 students • Research Projects developed to Federal, State and Metropolitan Government; Public Sector Companies; Brazilian Private Companies.

  9. Project Partnership PLANET / PET and GEOCONTROL • Campus Bus Fleet Tracking Project • (Support – CNPq / FAPERJ / GEOCONTROL) • Real time bus tracking project • 9 vehicles monitored (6:00 to 20:00) • 8 students team (undergraduate and graduate) • Development of thesis and research work • Testing new products and services (demand responsive transport services)

  10. Research Background • New Transportation Planning Approach • Accessibility • Mobility • Technology • Travel Demand Management • Low cost strategies

  11. Congestion Index • Real time information of traffic congestion on main roads using on board positioning system devices (bus system).

  12. Current Research at UC Berkeley • Main objective: identify viable urban public transport strategies to be considered in the case of “emerging” countries, aiming at improving the transport system performance and consequently increase its use and optimization. • Background: analysis, discussion and comparison of some data and aspects related to economy, public policies, national political strategies and goals, transportation, land use, socio-economic and cultural similarities (and differences) of emerging countries such as Brazil and China. • Expected Results: in-depth analysis of possible public transport strategies based on accessibility and mobility concepts, commonly applicable to both countries (and consequently possibly applicable to other emerging countries) trying to respond to the main objective of the research project.
