Resumo


A otimização de semáforos para tráfego terrestre é uma tarefa de grande relevância, dado que a ocupação das vias urbanas cresce nos centros urbanos, aumentando os atrasos e congestionamentos, e seus consequentes prejuízos. Em reação, trabalhos relacionados considera o tráfego veicular em detrimento dos pedestres. Contudo, quanto maior o tempo de espera destes, mais medidas arriscadas eles tomam, aumentando a incidência de acidentes. Visando tratar o problema considerando os interesses conflitantes dos veículos e pedestres, este trabalho realiza a otimização de semáforos considerando os atrasos médios de ambos, através de uma Estratégia Evolutiva. O problema é modelado a partir de trabalhos de referência na área. A abordagem conseguiu encontrar soluções que mantêm o atraso dos pedestres dentro dos limites dados pela literatura.
