Proposta de melhoria da operação do trânsito em um ponto crítico de Uberlândia-MG

Abstract

The population growth and the increase of the fleet of vehicles in Uberlândia often leads to an increase in accidents on city streets, mainly at intersections, which are critical locations due to vehicle and pedestrian conflicts. This study presents the analysis of an intersection in the city of Uberlândia at two streets, da Secretária and do Carpinteiro, located on Planalto neighborhood. Some alternatives were proposed to improve the traffic operation and to reduce the number of accidents. For execution of this research were necessary statistical data from Military Police of Minas Gerais about the number, types and severity of accidents that occurred at the intersection in the years 2016 and 2017 and also the traffic volume for verification of evolution of traffic flows and movements that occur on the intersection. With the data, added to the knowledge acquired during the undergraduation period, possible improvements were proposed.
