TransOeste: simulating safety improvements
Main safety recommendations (from road safety inspection):
Lowering the speed limit to 60 km/h (37 mph) in urbanized sections
Adding mid-block signalized crossings
Improving signal timing to reduce pedestrian delays
Capacity is constrained by station layouts
Safety recommendations do not impact capacity
TransOeste: simulating safety improvements
Impact on passenger capacity
Key finding:
Magnitude of operational impacts negligible compared to safety benefits

Public Health Assessment – Road safety
Roadways where TransCarioca will be implemented
Crash data (January 2008 to October 2010)All crashes: 2,781/yr
Injury crashes: 562/yr (20% of total crashes)
Injury crashes60% vehicle crashes
30% pedestrian crashes
Crash density (crash/km/yr)Highest on Av. Ayrton Senna = 110 crashes/km/yr
Public Health Assessment – Road safety
RecommendationsReduce speeds
50 km/h where pedestrian flow is high
Prioritize pedestriansHigher quality sidewalks
Safer transfer points between feeder lines and the BRT
Guardrails on sidewalks and on islands to guide pedestrians
Use of pedestrian signals
Special attention near schools Implement speed reduction measures
