Aplicativo móvel para localização de estacionamentos em Curitiba

Abstract

The act of parking in big urban centers, more specific in Curitiba, might be considered a challenge, in the aspect of optimization of time, payments forms, bike acceptance, valet parking and the possibility of the vehicle owner to park and carry the keys. This paper proposes to develop an Android application that helps the people of the paranaense capital in the search for parking lots, offering on the devices a list of available places on the map of the surroundings. Besides that, it allows the user to make personalized searches through available filters configuration. The app was compared to other solutions available on the market and evaluated by people of different ages and affinities with technology, and the preliminary results showed that the proposal was well accepted, mas the system still needs improvements to produce competitive functionalities with the other options found on the market.
