- Solução de Mobilidade numa Cidade Inteligente: Um Sistema de Informação ao Público em Tempo-realPublication . Rodrigues, Rodrigo Teixeira Guilherme Aguiar; Viana, Paula Maria Marques Moura GomesIn alignment with Porto Digital’s mission and values, the Smart City vision aims to establish a robust digital and technological infrastructure that facilitates open inno vation and co-creation. By centralising useful public data, this perspective enables the development and implementation of innovative technologies that enhance the quality of life for citizens. The mobility and public transport sector have a significant impact on the flow of people in a city. Therefore, raises the need to create innovative changes and technologies that provide helpful information to improve and benefit the users of these public services. This will enable them to access data that was previously only available to private entities. The project proposed in this thesis aims to comply with the mindset and visions mentioned above, developing and creating a Passenger Information System, with a device and server application that can be optimised and adapted to other application scenarios. Creating a system with two major components, the device(s) and the server side, requires software development that ensures full compatibility between both agents while ensuring a plug-and-play hardware solution with minimal manual configuration and setup required. The prototyping process of the device system, complying with formal require ments and budget limitations, raises major complexities that are tackled with the design of simple but smart solutions minimising the complexity of the embedded system and interface between the hardware components of this device, the micro computer and an E-paper display. The choice of designing a server architecture that can be fully containerised and compatible with any system using Docker containers makes the idea of a large-scale implementation project possible. The results of the final functional device and server prototypes show that the sys tem proposed in this project is capable of adapting to multiple application scenarios while being compliant with the open-source mindset and green digital transition vi sion and mission, benefiting from the digital infrastructure and tools made available by Porto Digital and the city of Porto.
