Aplicação do método de auditoria de segurança viária em rodovias na fase de operação

Abstract

The Road Safety Audit - ASV is used as a preventive method for reduction of traffic accidents. This technique evaluates the physical conditions of the road and the environment that may interfere in the occurrence of accidents, using checklists to help. The present work was carried out in proposing a method to apply the ASV in roads in the operation phase. A checklist based on four international lists was proposed, but taking into account the particularities of the Brazilian reality. In addition of being created, the list was reviewed by road safety technicians and later applied to GO-403, in the stretch connecting the city of Goiânia to the city of Senador Canedo in the state of Goiás. The application phase analyzed how such a method should proceed in a practical way and what would be its limitations. The results obtained, from a critical analysis in the field, demonstrated the real situation of the road before all the items addressed. Thus, in general, the GO-403 highway was considered safe according to the principles and standards established by the ASV for roads in operation.
