Mensuração de externalidades do transporte de carga brasileiro
Newton Rabello de Castro Junior
Resumo
Neste artigo revisitam-se algumas das principais metodologias disponíveis para a estimação do custo associado às externalidades causadas pelo transporte. O foco é no transporte rodoviário de carga, mas os métodos elencados podem ser estendidos a outros segmentos ou modais, com as devidas adaptações. Nesse sentido, identificam-se as variáveis determinantes das externalidades ambientais e dos custos decorrentes, particularmente os relativos à poluição do ar, aos custos de congestionamento e acidentes, e ao uso da infraestrutura, bem como examinam-se as possibilidades de aplicação dos métodos propostos ao caso brasileiro.
Title in English
Measurement of externalities of freight transport in Brazil
Abstract in English
This article reviews methodologies used in the estimation of costs imposed by externalities produced on the movement of people and freight. The focus is on freight transport by truck, although the methods selected may be extended to other modes. The determinants of externalities and their associated costs are identified, particularly those caused by air pollution, noise, accidents, and use of infrastructure. The relevance and requirements for the application of these measurements in the Brazilian context are also discussed.
