Safetrip: protótipo para sugestão de itinerários a fim de reduzir fatores de risco de acidentes em rodovias federais

Abstract

Every hour, five people are fatal victims of traffic accidents in Brazil. Between 2008 and 2016, more than 350 thousand people died from accidents on the country’s roads and streets. In this direction, this work proposes a prototype for suggesting safe routes, based on historical data, in order to reduce the probability of the user being involved in an accident on a federal highway. For this, the application offers a web platform for viewing information on the safe suggested route, as well as the fastest route. The prototype conceives an innovative solution, since no tool was found that would enable the choice of the safest route in relation to traffic accidents. To this end, concepts of smart cities, graphs, and geographic information systems are being used.
