Abstract

Establishing targets for reducing road traffic deaths is a fundamental step in the road safety management process. The National Plan for the Reduction of Traffic Deaths and Injuries (PNATRANS) sets targets for the reduction of traffic deaths and injuries, setting 50% reductions in death rates per 100,000 inhabitants and deaths per 10,000 vehicles, within 10 years. However it does not address how the state targets and the national target should be implemented by decision makers in Brazilian municipalities individually. This work aims to suggest targets for reducing traffic deaths in Brazilian municipalities. The methodology included the application  of  Principal  Component  Analysis   and  
k-means clustering in order to group municipalities according to three categories of       indicators for the 2017-2019 three-year period: final outcome indicators, intermediate outcome indicators and socioeconomic indicators. This process resulted in the creation of 77 groups of municipalities, based on 12 variables, for which the individual goal was established through the application of the benchmarking cycle. As a result, targets for the reduction of traffic deaths were obtained for each Brazilian municipality, which        resulted in an accumulated national reduction target of 56%, a similar value compared to the World Health Organization recommendation in the horizon until 2030.
