Abstract(s)
No âmbito da necessidade de melhoria da segurança rodoviária em Moçambique, o presente trabalho visa apresentar e analisar os documentos normativos aplicáveis às Inspeções de Segurança Rodoviária (ISR), as metodologias de aplicação e as boas práticas de gestão nesta área. Pretende-se, igualmente, referenciar países com melhores índices de segurança e as estratégias implementadas para a prevenção e redução da sinistralidade. O trabalho apresenta o panorama atual da segurança rodoviária a nível global, com base nos principais indicadores, destacando os países europeus com melhores resultados e as práticas adotadas para alcançar esses desempenhos. Enfatiza-se a importância da estrutura de gestão da segurança rodoviária, em como a implementação da abordagem do "Sistema Seguro" e do conceito "Visão Zero" nas estratégias de segurança rodoviária. São identificadas as legislações mais recentes e relevantes no âmbito das inspeções de segurança rodoviária na Europa, sublinhando-se o papel crucial dos dados de sinistralidade neste processo. Estabelece-se, ainda, uma comparação entre a região europeia, tomando como referência a legislação portuguesa, e as diretrizes aplicáveis na Austrália e em África, no que respeita à aplicação de procedimentos, periodicidade, seleção de estradas, sistemas de avaliação de risco e os aspetos considerados em cada região. Por fim, apresentam-se metodologias práticas para a realização de ISR, envolvendo o processo de planeamento, realização de visitas aos locais e a elaboração de relatórios. Os conceitos abordados são aplicados a um caso de estudo referente à estrada EN1 Zimpeto –Marracuene, localizada na Cidade de Maputo, em Moçambique, que resultou na criação de dois modelos: um para auxiliar o processo de gestão de dados de sinistralidade, providenciando a informação necessária para as análises de acidentes, e outro para facilitar a identificação de problemas de segurança e a apresentação de recomendações. Esses modelos foram desenvolvidos com o objetivo de padronizar e otimizar a recolha de dados e a análise de riscos, proporcionando uma abordagem mais estruturada e eficiente no processo de inspeções de segurança rodoviária, contribuindo assim para a prevenção e redução da sinistralidade. Adicionalmente, são verificadas as condições de segurança da estrada, identificando os problemas, apresentando propostas para melhoria com o respetivo grau de priorização, permitindo comprovar a eficácia e importância das ISR para o sucesso das estratégias de segurança rodoviária.
Abstract In the context of the need to improve road safety in Mozambique, this paper aims to present and analyse the rules and regulations applied to Road Safety Inspections (RSI), the methodologies used and good management practices in this area. It also aims to refer to countries with better safety records and the strategies implemented to prevent and reduce accidents. The paper presents the current overview of road safety on a global level, based on the main indicators, highlighting the European countries with the best results and the practices adopted to achieve these performances. The importance of road safety management structures is emphasised, as well as the implementation of the 8Safe System9 approach and the 8Vision Zero9 concept in road safety strategies. The most recent and relevant legislation in the field of road safety inspections in Europe is identified, emphasising the crucial role of accident data in this process. A comparison is also made between the European region, taking Portuguese legislation as a reference, and the guidelines applicable in Australia and Africa, with regard to the application of procedures, periodicity, road selection, risk assessment systems and the aspects considered in each region. Finally, practical methodologies for carrying out ISR are presented, involving the planning process, conducting site visits and drafting reports. The concepts discussed are applied to a case study concerning the EN1 Zimpeto - Marracuene road, located in Maputo City, Mozambique, which resulted in the creation of two models: one to support the accident data management process, providing the necessary information for accident analyses, and the other to facilitate the identification of safety problems and the presentation of recommendations. These models were developed with the aim of optimising and standardising data collection and risk analysis, providing a more structured and efficient approach to the road safety inspection process, thus contributing to the prevention and reduction of accidents. In addition, road safety conditions are checked, problems are identified and proposals for improvement are presented with the respective degree of prioritisation, making it possible to prove the effectiveness and importance of road safety inspections for the success of road safety strategies.
