Estudo da rotatória da Praça José Américo em Campina Grande - PB.

Abstract

This study aims to classify the roundabout at Praça José Américo with regard to the level-ofservice of its accesses. The data was collected aiming to obtain the Praça's basic capacity as well as the pedestrian factor. With these informations in hand, the theoretical capacity of each access was calculated, and compared to the actual flow in each entrance, providing its residual capacity. Therefore, for the referred intersection, it was verified that three out of the four entrances to the roudabout are operating at a level-of-service classified as F by the Manual of Intersection Project, published by the National Department of Transportation Infrastructure (DNIT).
