Frederico Delphino Fenerich

ABSTRACT: The main goal of this paper is a development theoretical reflection of types of public transportation vehicles like, Light Rail Train (LRT), Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Heavy Train to reduce the ratio of the Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions with the capacity of those vehicles at the cities and the ecological footprint each one of them release. The concept of urban mobility could support the cities to choose the most efficient type of transport for the place, because having a big vehicle does not matter this one is the most effective as to mitigate the green footprint of the city. The new technologies will support those vehicles to reduce the GHG emissions to transform the type of the transportation of the city into an efficient one. The cities developments are different, but have types and some similarities like, education level, industry, economy, environment and temperature, those topics could be used to ranking them in categories, supporting the creation of this guide. As a methodology this paper will compare how much carbon dioxide (CO2) each vehicle release and measure the most sustainable transport for the transoeste carriageway area. Toobtain a research as a result for the town hall or the governments states to management a sustainable and a small impact public transportation.
