Ombo-motorista aplicativo de mobilidade urbana para apoio ao motorista no monitoramento do transporte público urbano

Abstract

This work presents the development of a mobile application for urban public transport drivers in Uruguaiana/RS, originated from the Integrated Professional Practice "Design Thinking – Architects of Tomorrow". The identified problem was the lack of accessible information about the municipal public transport system, generating insecurity and delays. The objective was to develop an application that allows real-time location data transmission, route status management, and operational incident communication. The methodology included bibliographic research, analysis of similar systems, requirements specification through use case diagrams, and implementation using Kotlin. The main technologies employed were Android SDK, Jetpack Compose, Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, and Realtime Database), OSMdroid for maps, and Google Play Services Location for GPS. The system allows drivers to select routes, change bus status, perform GPS tracking, and access an ombudsman service. It also includes an administrative panel for user management and ombudsman moderation. The application demonstrates how technological solutions can improve public transport quality, promoting transparency and efficiency in the service provided to the population.
