Estudo de caso para melhoria de tráfego através de análise de implantação semafórica no cruzamento da Rua Mato Grosso com a Rua Carajás

Abstract

With the increasing development of cities and populations, the importance of policies focused on planning that meet the current and future needs of the population can be seen. In a local analysis of the municipality of Barra do Garças-MT, it is noticed that the population increase affecting the growth of the vehicle fleet makes urban infrastructure problems, such as those related to traffic, noticeable. This work focused on improving flow and safety at a specific intersection, located between Mato Grosso and Carajás streets, noting the possibility of traffic light implementation. The study site was chosen due to the saturated traffic conditions at certain times at this intersection. The analysis was based, mainly, on the volume V - Traffic Signs, of the Brazilian Manual of Traffic Signs, and complementary legislation of CONTRAN and DENATRAN. The applied methodology followed the precepts of the cited manuals. At the end of the analysis positive results were obtained for the implementation of the traffic light at the studied via intersection.
