Sistema para compartilhamento de caronas entre alunos dos campi da UTFPR-CT

Abstract

This study proposes an information system for carpooling to be used by UTFPR students of the two campi in Curitiba. Throughout this research, examples of existing ISs (Information Systems) with this goal are analyzed, separately, according to their respective categories or systemic approaches. Factors that are not necessarily functional, such as privacy and travel behavior, are also taken into account. The study addresses the concept of GIS technology (Geographic Information System) and contextualizes its role in applications that deal with geoprocessing data. In the methodology section the alternatives to evaluate which systemic approach would be more appropriate to implement the IS are assessed. Having completed project – named UTFPR-Carpooling – the result showed to be satisfactory with respect to the possibility of using geographic information to determine appropriate groups for sharing vehicles to travel from one university campus to the other, making it easier for those interested to share information and contributing for a more efficient use of vehicles, reduction of the number of cars in the streets and a healthier environment.
