Metodologia para análise da distribuição espacial dos acidentes de trânsito com motocicletas no município de Campina Grande - PB

Abstract

The motorcycle is the most vulnerable means of transport of occurrence of traffic accidents, , and passed from desire object in twentieth century, to be subject to risks nowadays, impacting on people's quality of life and is considered a health public problem that poses a risk of life, causing diseases and may even cause death.

The objective of this thesis was to analyze the traffic accident database with motorcycles occurred in Campina Grande city - PB, in 2014, making use of Geographic Information Systems associated with Spatial Statistics tools, based on the verification and identification of specific trends of this type of traffic accidents to check the occurrence of critical areas. For this we used qualitative, quantitative procedure and a rigorous analysis of the database provided by the Public Transport and Traffic System - STTP to later perform the application of the Kernel estimator in Statistical Software R. Thereby we can conclude that using Kernel estimator heat map, incorporated into the statistical software R version 3.2.2, provided good results. Helping to preview of the variation and intensity, which the database behaved over the 2014 period.
