Desenvolvimento de um aplicativo direcionado a auxiliar os usuários do ônibus escolar universitário da Universidade Federal do Ceará e Instituto Federal do Ceará campus de Quixadá-Ce

Abstract

In 2007, a city hall in Quixadá made an agreement, together with federal campuses, assuming the responsibility of transporting university students zero cost until urban lines were implemented (G1, 2019). In 2020, urban bus lines have not yet been implemented in Quixadá and there are three buses that run from Praça José de Barros to UFC / IFCE campuses, one made available by UFC and the other two by the city administration of Quixadá - CE. The small amount of available buses generates uncertainties for students, who do not know the correct time and whether there will be buses doing the route. In this work, we propose the identification, planning and development of a tool to improve the displacement of students who use college transport in Quixadá, using LBS services and an adaptation of SCRUM with weekly sprints. This study was divided into two stages. The first one was the elaboration of a questionnaire and an analysis of the tools already on the market, which have characteristics similar to the specific objective of this research. The second one was the development and execution of the Scrum solo sprints that were planned based on the results of the first stage. Thus, the PASTORABUS application was created to access and make available the real-time location of the university bus. In the tests and validation of the functionalities, the application's apk file and the validation minutes were made available to a validation group to validate the functionalities. The PASTORABUS app can be very useful for students on the UFC and IFCE Quixadá campuses due to the functionality of showing the bus position in real time, allowing a better use of time, as the student will not be in the queue for hours. Consultation information could prove useful for new campuses students to analyze which buses make the route as well as the bus stops that are part of the route.
