Concepção de interseção alternativa em substituição à rotatória entre a Rodovia Josmar Chaves Pinto e Rua Hildemar Maia na Cidade de Macapá - AP: um estudo de viabilidade

Abstract

The discontinuity created by the meeting of two or more roads creates an intersection. At this point, one of the areas of greatest concern regarding road operation and safety arises. At the intersection of Rodovia Josmar Chaves Pinto and Rua Hildemar Maia there is a point of discontinuity whose modern geometry is a hinge solution. However, this intersection has an operational lag and provokes the elaboration of proposals that are concerned with eliminating or mitigating the road bottleneck that it generated, especially at peak times. Therefore, this study focuses on the proposition of geometric creation of an alternative intersection that aims to solve a viable solution existing in the studied area and a feasibility analysis of its implementation. Aiming to create the data for the accurate feasibility study, proceed with the realization of traffic studies, elaboration of a geometric concept, use of the software Infraworks 2022 ®, proposition of a traffic light programming and traffic microsimulations used to evaluate representative’s scenarios. The results show significant improvements in operation, but that encounter limitations when considering a long-term project horizon.
