Sistema de notificação dinâmico para o transporte público de Curitiba - SINDI

Abstract

The public transport system of Curitiba, to transmit temporary notifications to the users, uses currently messages printed on paper, exposed in terminals, stationstube, stops and inside the bus. In this context, SiNDi (Dynamic Reporting System) features a messaging system based on speech synthesis, in which the notifications will be transmitted by audio. Thus, communication between URBS (Curitiba Urbanization SA), a company that controls the public transport system in the city and the users become more efficient, because listening is an involuntary action. The software development of this system follows the guidelines of V-Model, which will be divided into three main groups: i/ Center of Operation; ii/ Embedded System and iii/ Communication System. The Center of Operation consists of a computer which URBS express the intention of delivery messages to the population. The Embedded System consists of a GPS sensor which identifies the locations where messages should be played and a Raspberry PI board, Model B, which executes the synthesis of the message sent by URBS, playing it through speakers inside the bus. The Communication System is wireless and aim to connect the Center of Operation to the Embedded System, transmitting text and providing mobility to the system. Overall, the system will provide greater flexibility in the production and publications of messages on public transport network of Curitiba, increasing the number of users affected by the notification issued by URBS, as well as increase the satisfaction with public transport service.
