Baixo Alentejo Subconcession
- Description
- The goal of this study was to perform a road safety audit of all road design included in the Baixo Alentejo Subconcession, examining the layout geometry of the main itinerary road IP 8, between Sines and Beja.
- Other than the main road layout, all connections and a total of five interchanges were included in the audit: Grândola Sul, Santa Margarida do Sado, Figueira dos Cavaleiros, Ferreira do Alentejo, and Beringel. We also performed a global analysis of the uniformity of the layout, taking a critical look at parameters
- that go beyond the current guidelines and good practice standards for road design and that have a direct impact on road safety. This uniformity analysis intended to simulate the dynamic behaviour of the layout, to understand the extent to which it reflects and meets driver expectations.
