Abstract(s)
Nos últimos tempos, tem surgido um grande número de soluções tecnológicas que visam melhorar e adaptar os nossos meios de transporte. No entanto, por norma, estas novas abordagens tecnológicas são integradas no seio de operações das empresas privadas de mobilidade, ficando as empresas públicas excluídas. Sublinhando-se que os transportes públicos são uma peça importante na mobilidade urbana, torna-se imprescindível que estes serviços evoluam para um modo mais flexível e adaptável às necessidades dos seus passageiros, de forma a acompanhar a evolução tecnológica atual. Neste projeto é proposto o desenvolvimento de uma plataforma web que seja capaz de se comportar como uma Intelligent Transport System (ITS). As ITS são plataformas cujo objetivo é tornar as redes de operações dos transportes mais seguras, mais coordenadas e mais inteligentes. Deste modo, a plataforma web deverá ser capaz de possibilitar às empresas de transportes públicos melhorias associadas aos seus serviços. Sendo que essas melhorias se relacionam com o facto de estas empresas passarem a ter a possibilidade de gerir os seus recursos de uma forma mais eficaz, averiguarem se novas soluções resultam junto dos seus passageiros e realizarem análises mais precisas relativas ao funcionamento dos seus transportes. A plataforma trabalhará em conjunto com uma aplicação móvel conhecida por Pick que se enquadra no contexto da mobilidade. Esta última disponibiliza rotas e direções, acompanha os viajantes no decorrer das suas viagens e possibilita a compra e validação de bilhetes a partir do smartphone. A interação entre a Pick e a plataforma web, será o ponto central de algumas das funcionalidades que a plataforma irá disponibilizar e que se revelam ser de grande importância para asrespetivas empresas. Não só, por algumas serem uma novidade para estas, mas também por possibilitarem um aumento do nível de automatização dos seus processos. Da solução proposta, foi possível desenvolverem-se as funcionalidades que se consideram ser as mais importantes para as empresas de transportes, bem como um outro conjunto de funcionalidades que são imprescindíveis ao normal funcionamento da plataforma: registar o operador, login/logout, visualizar os detalhes das rotas/paragens, visualizar dados de mobilidade produzidos em tempo real, visualizar e enviar alertas aos passageiros, e por último, visualizar/exportar relatórios de viagens e de compra de bilhetes.
Recently, a large number of technological solutions has emerged with the goal to improve and adapt our means of transportation. However, these new technological approaches are normally integrated into the operations of private mobility companies, leaving public companies out of business. Being the public transportation an important piece of urban mobility, it is important that these type of services evolve to a more flexible and adaptable mode in order to keep up with the current technological developments. In this project it is proposed the development of a web platform that can behave as an Intelligent Transport System (ITS). The ITS platforms are aim to make transport operations networks safer, more coordinated and smarter. Therefore, the web platform should be capable of enabling public transport companies to improve their services. These improvements are related to the fact that these companies are now able to manage their resources in a more intelligent way. The operators are crossed with the possibility to analyze whether new approaches work with their passengers, to perform more accurate analyzes of their transport operations, or even access mobility data on a real time mode. The platform will work in pair with a mobile application known as Pick witch fits into the mobility world. These application provides routes and directions, follows the passengers throughout their travels, enables the purchase and validation of tickets using only a smartphone, among other features. The interactions establish between Pick and the web platform will be the center of some features provided that prove to be new and important for the transportation companies’ ways of operating. This level of importance relies on the fact that some features are new to them, but also because they allow an increase of the automation associated to their processes. From the proposed solution, it was possible to develop the features considered to be the most important for the companies, as well as another set of features that are essential to the normal operation of the web platform: operator registration, login/logout, view route/stop details, view real-time mobility data, view and send alerts directly to the passengers, and finally view/export travel and ticketing purchase reports.
