A Influência da Temporização Semafórica no Comportamento do Motorista

The influence of traffic signal timing on driver behavior is a well-founded study that analyzes the impact of traffic light timers on the behavior of vehicle operators. The research focuses on a specific situation in Rio de Janeiro, where electronic monitoring systems were implemented to control red light violations. By collecting data at an intersection before and after the introduction of a timer, the effectiveness of this measure is assessed. The results show a significant reduction in red light violations as well as a notable change in the behavior of vehicles that slow down at the end of the green phase. These findings are of great importance for traffic planning and the improvement of road safety in urban areas.
