Modelagem de uma aplicação para dispositivos móveis de um planejador de rotas baseado em calçadas para usuários de cadeiras de rodas

Abstract

Large cities still do not have accessibility as a priority, this fact compromises the quality of life of wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility. This work aims at modeling a route planner for mobile devices based on accessible sidewalks for wheelchair users. The method used for this modeling was the interaction design life cycle. At the requirements setting stage, this project was attended by 29 volunteers with a profile of wheelchair users, crutches or supporters. These volunteers collaborated with activities as a focus group, semi-structured interviews, task-based activities and questionnaire application. After this the Prototyping and Alternative Design stages were carried out, the prototyping was carried out in high fidelity using tools to build Smartphones with Android. Finally, the evaluations of the prototype were carried out, with five volunteers participating and bringing five application improvement opportunities as a result. As a result, we can highlight the profile of the target public of the problems faced in the cities, a series of requirements, a prototype of high fidelity of the application and improvements analyzed in the evaluation phase of the prototype.
