Abstract
This study aims to present the results of a systematic literature research developed to identify methodologies, models and scientific planning methods, and valuation of environmental costs in transport, which should serve as theoretical and technical basis for the development of a specific methodological contribution, for sustainable planning, reduction of energy consumption, low pollutant emissions, the urban environment of cities, and for the transport of people. The research carefully selected articles that have demonstrated the potential application of the concepts of sustainable logistics, green logistics and low-carbon logistics in public transport of people. In the second stage, applications directed to transport planning and valuation of environmental costs in transport were identified in these articles, such as pollutant emissions and energy consumption to standardize the concepts, understand them and use them to build a model. It was possible to identify 20 different methods with common objectives of transport sustainability and to build a methodological proposal of sustainable urban transport planning (MPTS-URB), whose contribution is a joint approach of sustainability, economic study, demand and transportation capacity factors, in which all work in harmony. Following this research, it is intended to apply the methodology built - MPTS-URB in the sample environment and to analyze its results.
Highlights
Because of its importance in the structuring and processing of natural and social landscapes, and as one of the largest consumers of non-renewable resources, transportation is a key part in the sustainable development equation (Vasconcellos, 2011). Since it was identified as a global priority by the United Nations in the early 1980s, sustainable development was defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (WCED, 1987 apud SEABRA, 2013)
The design of any sustainability model should reflect the balance between these dimensions, adapted to the standard definition, sustainability in transportation is to meet current and future accessibility and mobility needs, with positive impacts in the environmental, economic and social (SEABRA, 2013)
The practice of logistics in an approach that considers social and environmental aspects seems to be associated with low - carbon logistics concepts, green logistics and sustainable logistics which relate, because while employing different terms, they intende to achieve common goals (Xuezhong et al, 2011).The low carbon logistics can be considered in a less comprehensive scope, since it is concentrated solely on reducing emissions of CO2 and in the transport scope, it is more recurrent in research that deals with alternatives to replace fossil fuels and non-motorized transport practices
Summary
It has undergone adjustments since the last decade, to achieve the social and environmental aspects of sustainable urban mobility, such as a growing awareness of society on the need to promote better management of freight transport activities as well as daily displacement distances of the people (Lin et al, 2014) This article, following this introduction, presents the results of a literature review, Chapter 2, built from a systematic methodology revision (TRANFIELD, DENYER and SMART, 2003) that were carefully selected, studies demonstrating potential application of concepts of sustainable logistics, green and low - carbon consumption in transportation planning of the cities, as well, as methods of environmental valuation and performance improvement in transport from the perspective of sustainability.
