the adoption of Geotechnology in public transport and urban organization in Brazil

Several countries already have the technology known as Intelligent Transport Systems - ITS, that means control and management of public transport, activities information to the user, traffic control and management of financial resources through programs of electronic ticketing. In Brazil it is possible to identify, in recent years, a strong increase of these technologies, consolidated by investments and technical training in the departments of transportation. The aim of this paper was to discuss the actions implemented in Brazil, highlighting the integration of geothecnologies in this process. The survey showed that the Southeast is one of the most relevant national representatives, with a large number of cities that make use of ITS technologies. However, it is known that the process and implementation are slow due to numerous difficulties, including those observed in the different situations presented. Even with the full deployment in the cities listed and expansion into other, only the major centers will be fully satisfied, as there are multimodal diversity.
