Abstract
The main aims of this article are: (1) to evaluate the quality of cycling infrastructures in the city of João Pessoa (PB) using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and (2) to extend the proposed assessment (using quality indicators) to the entire cycling network of the municipality applying geostatistical spatial interpolators. Therefore, a two-step approach was proposed. Initially, the physical and operational factors that affect the quality of cycling infrastructures were identified to formulate the hierarchy. Afterwards, five specialists in cycling infrastructures and cycle path users were asked to fill in a form, aiming to weight the criteria. Next, we used a database collected in the field from 27 sections of cycle paths. After obtaining the scores for each section, they were classified, and maps were created to locate the critical sections. Having verified if there was spatial dependence, related to the cycling quality indicator, geostatistical modeling was carried out and the quality indicator was estimated for 32 cycle path sections, not previously collected in field. Therefore, the complete cycle network map, which was properly evaluated, can be used as a low-cost tool to support decision-making and implementation of transport policies.
