Coplav: uma proposta de aplicação móvel para consulta de situação veicular em base de dados centralizada

Abstract

The recovery rate of stolen vehicles in Brazil can still be considered low. In 2014, only 17.54% of these vehicles were recovered. With this in mind, a proposal was made for a mobile application for the Android operating system to obtain legal status of vehicles from all over the Brazilian territory from the image or manual insertion of the plate, as a way to increase this rate of recovery. For an image query, OpenALPR was used to identify the characters present on the plates. After this identification, a search is done in a centralized database supplied by the users themselves and also in the database of Sinesp, a governmental unit responsible for providing information on the legal status of a vehicle. The proposed application was developed with the use of unit tests and subsequent coverage tests for the main parts of the mobile application code. At the end of the development, some users used the application for validation purposes.
