Análise de tráfego automotivo e suas implicações: estudo de caso na Avenida Manoel Ribas em Guarapuava – PR

Abstract

The present work studies the intersections of Avenida Manoel Ribas of Guarapuava-PR and aims to develop proposals for the problem. The Avenue under study is the main traffic element of the city's inhabitants in the northwest-southeast direction. The performance of these intersections is analyzed using the VISSIM simulation software methodology and the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology applied in an EXCEL spreadsheet developed by the author. Proposals for the problem of automotive traffic were presented and the performance of these proposals in the future scenario was analyzed. As, even after the proposed interventions, no satisfactory results were obtained, since on average the Service Levels of the intersections went from D (current year) to F (project year), a complementary proposal to the first one was developed, which used the efficiency of the public transportation, so that the objective of the work was achieved. The implications for successful completion of the complementary proposal were analyzed and it was estimated that approximately 35% of people using private transport should migrate to use public transport.
