To use HCM, it is necessary to determine the traffic volumes for the time scenario analysis in all homogeneous segments of interest. Acquiring such information on-field can be costly, depending on the size and complexity of the study area. In order to meet the economic aspects of the projects, some traffic counting make partial observations and then expand them based on traffic pattern similarity analysis between stations. In addition, plans for data acquisition do not necessarily follow a pattern, and different data structures are used, such as vehicle classifications and time aggregations. Thus, it requires great effort from the processing of the data up to determining the projected demand volumes that will be used in the analysis. The objective of this work is to present an automated procedure to assist in this process. As a result, the development and application of a system capable of carrying out the necessary procedures to obtain these intended variables, including the execution of volumetric expansion, are shown, based on heterogeneous data. O Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) tem sido utilizado mundialmente na avaliação do desempenho de rodovias, por meio do cálculo do nível de serviço. Para a sua aplicação é necessário determinar os volumes de tráfego para o cenário temporal de análise em todos os segmentos homogêneos de interesse. A aquisição destes dados diretamente em campo pode ser onerosa, dependendo do tamanho e da complexidade da área de estudo. Buscando atender o aspecto econômico dos projetos, em alguns postos de contagem são realizadas observações parciais, para serem posteriormente expandidas, com base em análises de similaridade de padrões de tráfego entre os postos. Ademais, os planos para aquisição de dados não seguem necessariamente um padrão e diferentes estruturas de dados são utilizadas, como classificações de veículos e agregações temporais. Assim, o processamento dos dados para o alcance dos volumes de demanda, a serem utilizados na análise, pode exigir grande esforço. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um procedimento tão automatizado quanto possível para auxiliar neste processo. Como resultado, são apresentados o desenvolvimento e a aplicação de um sistema capaz de realizar os procedimentos necessários para a obtenção dessas variáveis, incluindo a execução de expansão volumétrica, a partir de dados heterogêneos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/12122 10.34096/rtt.i26.12122 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/12122/10690 Revista Transporte y Territorio; No. 26 (2022): Enero-Junio Revista Transporte y Territorio; Núm. 26 (2022): Enero-Junio 1852-7175 Highway Capacity Manual.
