Abstract

This paper proposes a procedure to evaluate sustainable mobility in urban areas. A set of indicators according to 3 dimensions of sustainability (i.e., environment, economics, and social aspects) are proposed to evaluate mobility in urban areas. The sustainable mobility evaluation is based on an Index calculated through a weighted multi criteria combination procedure. A group of specialists in Brazil was involved in the development of the Index by defining the weights for the criteria. An application of the methodology in the city of Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, with 2.24 million inhabitants, is presented to validate the methodology.
