Diagnóstico e proposta de melhoria da mobilidade urbana na Av. Vereador José Santana no município de Lavras – MG

Abstract

This work proposed, as a general objective, to diagnose and present improvements for urban mobility on Avenida Vereador José Santana in the city of Lavras-MG applying the knowledge of Civil Engineering and relevant legislation. As for the specific objectives, survey the legislation on urban mobility and transit; to prepare a diagnosis on the mobility and accessibility conditions of Av. Vereador José Santana and to propose measures of urban mobility and accessibility for the aforementioned street, applying the engineering knowledge. The present work is justified, as it contributes to the improvement of urban mobility of the aforementioned avenue. It should be noted that this work collaborates with scientific research and other professionals, since it presents data and instruments to diagnose and treat problems related to urban mobility. It emerged that the signaling manuals of the National Traffic Council are fundamental tools for the correct signaling of public roads. It was noticed that, after the implementation of the proposed modification suggested during the research, there was an improvement in the general Walkability Index of the street studied, going from 1.07 to 1.40, with an increase of 30.84% ​​in that index. This increase in the general Walkability Index materialized in greater safety, accessibility and fluidity for pedestrian traffic. It was concluded that Civil Engineering has a direct influence on urban mobility and accessibility in public places and that engineering ceremonies are fundamental in the development of a municipality.
