Equilíbrio em rede de transportes através de modelagem: um estudo de caso na cidade de Cachoeira do Sul

Abstract

The balance modeling in transport networks is applied to networks of the road system in order to seek alternatives for a better fluidity of vehicular traffic in cities, reducing congestion and reducing car travel time on regular routes during peak hours, which are the critical travel times during the day. This type of study is rarely used in Brazil, but it is important that it be applied in order to achieve the necessary goals of good fluidity in city traffic. Knowing that the vast majority of cities do not have a planning prior to their construction, the balance in transport networks helps so that the impacts of bad dimensions and the lack of a characteristic study for each region are mitigated and promote a reorganization and possible changes in the running platform, so that bottlenecks that generate congestion are eliminated. The study was carried out in the city of Cachoeira do Sul, is a pioneer in the region and resulted in the suppression of parking on one side of Sete de Setembro, transforming it into a double lane.
