Neste estudo propõe-se a adoção de um modelo estatístico de resposta qualitativa para a análise da segurança rodoviária de redes de transporte na fase de planeamento. Tendo em conta as características desta fase, como seja a escassez de informação e o âmbito generalista da análise, os modelos de resposta quantitativa poderão não ser os mais adequados como se pretende demonstrar com este estudo. Assim, neste trabalho desenvolveu-se um modelo de resposta qualitativa (modelo ordenado probit MOP) considerando três categorias de (in)segurança como variável dependente, com base nos dados da cidade do Porto. Os parâmetros foram estimados com nível de confiança de 95% estando os efeitos marginais em linha com outros estudos. Nesse sentido, verifica-se que os locais com menor risco de ocorrer acidentes correspondem a segmentos classificados como via distribuidora local e situados em zonas de baixa densidade habitacional ou com equipamentos públicos. Com o objetivo de analisar a influência dos atributos do segmento na segurança, assim como comparar os resultados do MOP com um modelo binomial negativo, considerou-se ainda uma análise dos referidos modelos a cenários de segmentos hipotéticos. O MOP, através da probabilidade de ocorrer cada categoria, permite realizar uma análise de risco a partir da qual se podem comparar diferentes soluções definidas em fase de planeamento.

Abstract: This study proposes the use of a qualitative response model to analyze safety of an urban road network at the planning level. Taking into account the poor data available at planning level and the general scope of analysis that features this level, the quantitative response models may not be the most appropriate. Thus, using data from Porto, an ordered probit model was developed using three categories illustrating degrees of unsafety as the dependent variable. The parameter estimates were statistically significant and the marginal effects were in line with expectations. Therefore, segments classified as local distributor and located at low density of buildings or community building zones are associated to low accident risk probability. In order to better analyze the effects o the segment features and also to compare this model with the negative binomial model, both were applied to several scenarios of a segment. The probabilities associated to each category allow to performing a risk analysis from which various solutions defined at planning level are compared.
