Análise da malha semafórica quanto à sinalização, ao posicionamento e à sincronização: estudo de caso da cidade de Pato Branco - PR

Abstract

One of the problems seen in urban centers is the traffic congestion and the large number of traffic acidentes, an event that has never been more relevant than in recent years. The development of cities and the exponencial growth of the vehicles fleets are increasingly revealing the importance of a modern and efficient road system that can guarantee the traffic flow and the safety of its users. The subsequent study aims to analyse the traffic light mesh of the city of Pato Branco – PR, focusing on the positioning, signalling and synchronization of traffic lights in order to improve the traffic flow and the safety of citizens. The analysis developed followed the guidelines and was based mainly in the Brazilian Manual of Traffics Signalling Volume V – Traffic Lights. At the end of the analysis, recommendations were made regarding all aspects analyzed, so that changes can bem ade in the existing traffic light mesh in order to promote an improvement in user safety and vehicular flow.
