Abstract

Speed control is a challenge for urban management aimed at reducing traffic deaths and injuries. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the influence of operational characteristics in the occurrence of speeding on the high-speed roads of Curitiba (PR). The methodology was based on the use of naturalistic driving data and the application of binary logistic regression to investigate the relationship between road operational characteristics (explanatory variables) and speeding (response variable). The overall result indicates the practice of speeding during 20.64% of the travel time in free flow. The isolated analysis of the explanatory variables indicated that the presence of radar increased the chance of not speeding between 8.16 and 21.09 times for situations of any excess and above 20% of the limit, respectively. The joint analysis of the explanatory variables was statistically significant for the presence of radar and the presence of traffic lights, with the first reducing by 9.55 times and the second increasing by approximately 30% the chance of speeding. This result demonstrates the importance of electronic speed enforcement as part of the speed management strategy in urban areas.
