Abstract
In Brazil, until the 2010 year, there were about 11 million people with some visual
impairment. However, even with this significant quantity of people, and despite the existence
of some urban mobility policies and laws related to accessibility, some aspects of
their daily lives still constitute a problem. Among these problems is the lack of accessibility
in public transport. Based on the mentioned problem, this work aimed to propose
a system composed of an embedded IOT device, together with a web application and an
application for mobile devices, all with the purpose of contributing to the improvement
in accessibility and urban mobility, more specifically regarding to the public transport
modality, consequently contributing to a more autonomous and independent life to people
with some impairment. First, a bibliographic review was carried out based on the themes
related to the work; then, a Requirements analysis was made for the initial functionalities
that the system would have; finally, are described the steps taken in the development
of the parts that compose the system, along with some problems encountered, and how
these problems were worked out. The developed system, even being a first experimental
version, made it possible for a visually impaired person to access estimated distances
between their location and a specific vehicle’s location, and in a controlled experiment,
enabling the vehicle to be identified by the person. Due to this, with the conclusion of
this work, it was planned for future projects, among other characteristics, the addition
of functionalities, in order to offer to the user a greater range of information along a bus
trip.
