Abstract

This paper analyzes the evolution of traffic accident rates in Uberlândia, MG, from 2018 to 2023, using data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Register of Traffic Accidents and Statistics (RENAEST). The study addresses urban mobility issues, highlighting the implications of traffic accidents in the context of growing urbanization and public safety concerns. The objective is to identify patterns and trends in traffic accidents in the region, providing a foundation for proposing strategies aimed at reducing these rates and promoting safer and more sustainable mobility. The methodology employed is based on quantitative analysis of graphs and statistics using naïve forecasting methods, detailing the frequency of accidents, their fatal consequences, and distribution by gender. The results indicate a significant variation in accident rates over the analyzed years and underscore the urgent need for effective education and traffic safety measures. The justification for this study lies in the high prevalence of accidents in urban areas and the importance of proactive approaches to mitigate these incidents in Uberlândia.
