Abstract(s)
A ilha da Madeira, similarmente a outras regiões europeias, tem
sofrido cada vez mais com o aumento da densidade do tráfego automóvel.
Nas grandes zonas urbanas, a aglomeração de pessoas e automóveis tem
criado situações de trânsito caótico, essencialmente devido ao
planeamento urbano que não conseguiu acompanhar as exigências de
mobilidade que as populações necessitam. Estes problemas relacionados
com a mobilidade urbana levaram a que os governantes tivessem de
adotar novas medidas para minimizar o impacto do aumento de veículos
a circular nas estradas regionais.
Embora se tenham verificado muitas melhorias, ainda assim, os
condutores frequentemente experienciam situações inesperadas enquanto
conduzem, tais como estradas encerradas devido a obras, eventos
desportivos ou religiosos que ocorrem nas cidades, o que os força a
decidir rapidamente quais as rotas alternativas para conseguirem chegar
aos seus destinos a tempo.
A solução a ser apresentada tem como principal objetivo melhorar a
mobilidade dentro e fora das cidades, ajudando os cidadãos a otimizar a
gestão do seu tempo, reduzindo assim o stress diário. Para isso, a
plataforma irá centralizar todas as informações existentes sobre as
condições de tráfego, tendo também como foco todos os eventos que
ocorram e que obriguem assim ao encerramento de alguma via. Por outro
lado, serão apresentadas todas as estradas que tenham uma inclinação
acentuada ou uma largura que torne difícil a passagem de veículos. Deste
modo, poderão ser apresentados, de forma prévia, alguns dados que
permitirão aos condutores evitar determinadas vias que lhes causariam
algum tipo de stress.
A plataforma desenvolvida recolhe e filtra estes dados em
background, possibilitando, através de uma aplicação móvel, o acesso aos
mesmos de uma forma detalhada e de fácil visualização. Desta forma
foram preenchidas lacunas atualmente existentes noutras plataformas,
permitindo mostrar aos utilizadores estas informações em tempo real, ou
antecipadamente, quando possível, através de notificações.
Madeira island, identically to other European regions, has been suffering more and more with the traffic congestion increase over time. In large urban areas, the agglomeration of people and vehicles has created chaotic traffic situations, essentially due to urban planning that was unable to fulfill the populations mobility requirements. These problems related to urban mobility have led governments to adopt new measures to minimize the impact of vehicles in circulation on regional roads. Although many improvements have been made, drivers often experience unexpected situations as they drive, such as closed roads due to construction, sporting or religious events occurring in cities, forcing them to quickly decide alternate routes to reach their destinations in time. The presented solution aims to improve mobility inside and outside of the cities, helping citizens to optimize their time management, thus reducing daily stress. To achieve this, the platform will centralize all the existing information about traffic conditions, also focusing on all events that occur and that require some road closure. On the other hand, all steep or narrow roads will be displayed in the application. Thereby, this data will be presented in advance, allowing drivers to avoid roads that could cause them stress. The developed platform collects and filters this data in the background, enabling, through a mobile application, access to it in a way that is detailed and easy-to-see. It also allows showing this information in real-time, or in advance, when possible, by sending notifications.
