Diagnóstico de trânsito em espaço intra-urbano: estudo de caso do Eixo Viário Fernandes Lima

Abstract

The city of Maceió is not a planned city, and like others Brazilian capitals, it suffers from problems with urban mobility, with increasingly heavy traffic flow and longer journeys. The present work was developed to analyze the Fernandes Lima Axis, main axis of maceioenses citizens, that covers a total of 11 of the 50 districts of Maceió, connecting the central part of the city to the upper part of the same. The study case evaluated the traffic conditions of the avenues that compose it, through bibliographic material researches, measurement of the time between trips and documented analysis. The expected growth of vehicles flows is relatively high for a period of 5 years, where the increase in vehicles has made a road saturated in supersaturated at peak times, increasing the time of travels in the case of the competent authorities do not take action. In view of the aforementioned facts, it was concluded that there are mitigating measures to reduce local traffic, even if they act in a palliative way, benefiting private vehicles over public transportation, which would improve urban mobility in the city of Maceió.
