Desenvolvimento de solução de geoinformação baseada em múltiplos critérios para avaliação da segurança viária em rodovias

Abstract

In order to pedestrians and drivers enjoy roads, road safety becomes essential. Its structure is based on three parts, in which, together, contribute to the track remains fit for use. The first structure of this group is formed by inspection, followed by awareness and completed by Engineering projects. Each structure employs a certain purpose, but all seek the same goal. In Engineering projects, it is the managers’ responsibility to employ corrective measures that it intends to treat the locations in which accident rates higher than reality. But in order to achieve this objective, it is necessary to promote various analyzes, so that the best measures are directed to eradicate the existing problems. In view of this impasse, this work is intended to direct a methodology capable of providing products that enable better decision-making. In the first instance, a GIS project was developed for a study region, which in this case was a specific section of the BR-365. In possession of the project, two models contemplated in the literature were applied, which enabled the identification of critical sections and by means of this recognition, were mapped such localities with the aid of the Mobile Mapping System. Through the results found, migratory measures were directed in order to minimize the occurrences. Of the critical sections identified, most of the occurrences were of the "Track Exit" and "Rear Collision" type, circumstances observed in places where there is a curve or where the shoreline has small dimensions, lacking highway improvements in the road safety. Therefore, the proposed method becomes an important tool for the management of road safety, and can be applied in different scenarios.
