Geographic data modeling to define alternative transport corridors to bypass the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte: comparative scenarios
Abstract
This paper aims to present the methodology used to compute feasible corridor alternatives to bypass the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (RMBH). Its
computations were based on predictive scenarios developed with the use of geoprocessing and multi-criteria analysis. The study area encompasses extreme
concerns of physical, biological, economic, social and logistic natures.
