[pt] A crescente urbanização vem gerando grandes e médias cidades, que sem o devido planejamento urbano, enfrentam problemas cotidianos. Dentre esses problemas podem-se destacar aqueles ligados a mobilidade, que mostram que o atual modelo de circulação é caro e impactante. Torna-se assim evidente a necessidade de repensar a mobilidade urbana, incentivando a utilização e evolução de meios de transporte coletivos de qualidade e ambientalmente sustentáveis, contribuindo dessa forma para o desenvolvimento das cidades e para a qualidade de vida de sua população. Uma opção para melhorar a mobilidade é o VLT (Veículo Leve sobre Trilhos) que opera por força da eletricidade, induz a renovação urbana, e atrai usuários de outros transportes coletivos e do transporte individual, contribuindo desta forma para a implantação de uma mobilidade urbana mais sustentável e inclusiva. Deste modo, em 2014 foi iniciado o projeto de implantação de VLT na região central do Rio de Janeiro, e neste trabalho é apresentada a ferramenta de monitoramento de obras criada e utilizada em sua execução. Após análises da ferramenta é possível concluir que este modelo atendeu bem a seus propósitos, principalmente na etapa de planejamento, apresentando um meio de medir o progresso de construção de fácil compreensão, com amplo alcance dentre os gerentes do projeto e online, necessidades crescentes na indústria da construção. Sendo assim, este estudo demonstra um caráter atual, ao tentar desenvolver uma ferramenta que atende a uma demanda na indústria da construção, e inovador já que poucos estudos neste tema foram realizados na construção do VLT. / [en] The increasing urbanization has generated large and medium cities, which without proper urban planning, face daily problems. Among these problems can be detach those linked to mobility, which shows that the current circulation model is expensive and impactful. Becomes evident the need to rethink the urban mobility, encouraging the use and evolution of quality and sustainable means of transportation, thus contributing to the cities development and to the population life quality. An option to improve the mobility is the tramway that operates by electricity force, induces urban renewal, and attracts other collective transportation modes and individual transportation users, thus contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive urban mobility implantation. In this way, in 2014 was started the tramway implantation project in the central zone of Rio de Janeiro, and in this work it is presented a construction work monitoring tool created and used in your execution. After the tool analyses it is possible to conclude that this model served its purposes, mainly in the planning stage, presenting a way to measure the construction progress easy to understand, with wide reach between the project managers and online, construction industry growing needs. Therefore, this study demonstrate itself current, when try to develop a tool that meets a construction industry demand, and innovative since few studies in this theme were realized in the tramway construction.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Renato Alessandro Rocha Santos.PDF: 5054326 bytes, checksum: 739f1115bab9b157f48eb56ca44d4c34 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-02 / Over the last decades the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) has been subject of research of several authors, mainly because of difficulties found in its optimization as well as its application in real-world situations. In the scientific literature there are several proposed solutions for the PRV using different optimization techniques. However, such solutions are rarely transformed into software tools that can be used by end users, for example, micro enterprises. Thus, the focus of the present work was to develop a Web computational tool for vehicle routing, called “SGRV  Sistema de Gestão de Roteamento de Veículos”, which uses Google Maps features and aims to meet the needs of micro enterprises. Therefore, initially it was conducted a literature search about solution methods for VRP, to support the choice of strategy based on genetic algorithms employed in SGRV. Then, a new bibliographic research was made with the purpose of finding free softwares for the VRP solution, which were object of analysis to mark out the development of the SGRV. For the development of this research was used the methodology Design Science Research. A qualitative evaluation of the SGRV was carried out by four microenterprises from different branches, that used the tool for a certain period and, in the end, answered six questions opened from semi-structured interviews. The experiences of these microenterprises were transcribed and the data obtained reveal the effectiveness of the SGRV in the management of its tasks related to the orders and deliveries of products. / Nas últimas décadas o Problema de Roteamento de Veículos (PRV) tem sido temática de pesquisas de diversos autores, principalmente por causa de dificuldades encontradas para sua resolução, bem como sua aplicabilidade em situações reais do cotidiano. Na literatura científica há diversas propostas de soluções para o PRV empregando diferentes técnicas de otimização. No entanto, tais soluções raramente são transformadas em ferramentas computacionais que possam ser utilizadas por usuários finais como, por exemplo, as microempresas. Assim, o foco do presente trabalho foi desenvolver uma ferramenta computacional Web para roteamento de veículos, denominada SGRV  Sistema de Gestão de Roteamento de Veículos, que emprega recursos do Google Maps e visa suprir as necessidades de microempresas. Para tanto, inicialmente realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica acerca de métodos de solução para o PRV, a fim de subsidiar a escolha de uma estratégia baseada em Algoritmos Genéticos empregada no SGRV. Em seguida, foi feito um novo levantamento bibliográfico com intuito de encontrar softwares de uso livre para a solução do PRV, os quais foram objeto de uma análise que visou balizar a implementação do SGRV. Para o desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa foi empregada a metodologia Design Science Research. Uma avaliação qualitativa do SGRV foi realizada por quatro microempresas de diferentes ramos, as quais utilizaram a ferramenta por um determinado período e, ao final, responderam seis questões abertas a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas. As experiências dessas microempresas foram transcritas e os dados obtidos revelam a efetividade do SGRV no gerenciamento de suas tarefas relacionadas aos pedidos e entregas de produtos.

The 711-acre Mueller development is located just three miles northeast of downtown on the former site of the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport. Planned as one of Austin’s major transit-oriented New Urbanist developments, Mueller contains a pattern of pedestrian and bike friendly streets to encourage a range of transportation options for residents and visitors. Mueller is 30% complete and provides housing and jobs to over 3000 residents and 3000 employees. This professional report seeks to understand how current residents, employees, and visitors use the bike lanes, sidewalks, and roads in the Mueller community. To evaluate the transportation infrastructure, the author designed and coded a custom Google Maps survey that asked residents to draw common routes, points of interest, and points of concern related to their transportation choices. Field observations were conducted to verify and triangulate the information reported in the online survey. This study investigates whether the transportation principles for the development are or are not achieved by comparing the expressed principles of the development with the actual behavior reported and exhibited by frequent users. / text

The research was started by analyzing oscillation data from accelerometer. We had to keep in mind that there can be road bumps, pit holes, speed bumps and other road anomalies, car can accelerate quickly and break sharply or even crash into something, what would cause a sudden stop. In order to recognize events, different detection filters were applied on data. In addition to this, neuron network was used to recognize pit holes and speed bumps from all event flow. The results of event detection algorithms were compared with other scientist’s works. In order to represent results clearly, database was created holding coordinates of the road events and other information like time, etc. The results were represented using an application programming interface made-up by Google, which was really suitable solution in our case. The whole system was programmed using Java servlets, which allowed to gather data from database using SQL (Structured Query Language) queries. While trying to represent accelerometer data, we faced difficulties in representing these road events on the map, as GPS each time returned answer with small variation of coordinates. In this case, we... [to full text]

The project is to design and implement a Web application for realizing an innovative, hands-on interactive learning experience for the Google Maps API.

This thesis explores aspects of map censorship in Google China through a theoretical framework based on Foucault’s power/knowledge. Comparing results of content analysis of maps in Google Ditu in Google China and Google Maps in Google Dot Com, the thesis analyzes the degree of censorship of maps in the Google geoweb. My findings are a higher density of labeling in Google Ditu in comparison with Google Maps, the absence of VGI in Google Ditu, the limitation of zoom level at Google Ditu, and the absence of Street View in China. This thesis suggests possible explanations to differences in map information between Google Ditu and Google Maps.

Para isso, é preciso que o professor se qualifique para o bom uso dessa ferramenta. Entre as vantagens desse recurso, há a possibilidade de interação, entre o aluno e o professor, dentro e fora da sala de aula e a possibilidade de o aluno conhecer lugares distantes, em tempo real, através de imagens de satélite, mapas digitais e de vídeo. Cabe ao sistema educativo contribuir para o acesso às potencialidades ligadas ao mundo digital, isso porque os recursos da informática podem ser mais um a contribuir para a formação crítica dos jovens estudantes do ciclo básico, possibilitando estabelecer relações entre os fenômenos espaciais do seu espaço de vivência. Considerando a importância do uso da informática no ensino, buscamos verificar a possibilidade de uso do site Google mapas para a construção dos conceitos de localização e orientação, a partir do uso do computador e da internet como mediadores, tendo como atividade a construção do caminho casa-escola pelas crianças do ensino fundamental, da Escola Estadual Coronel Paiva em Ouro Fino, estado de Minas Gerais. Para isso, utilizamos o mapa da cidade disponível no site. Escolhemos o Google mapas por ser de acesso livre, gratuito, disponível para uso na internet e que funciona em diferentes plataformas digitais. A dificuldade é percebida por esse programa não ter sido desenvolvido para fins educacionais, por isso, apresenta problemas tanto em relação à disponibilidade de mapas (alguns desatualizados e inexistentes) quanto em relação a suas ferramentas que exigem do usuário habilidade e destreza manual.

With technology continuing to advance, a lot of everyday tasks are becoming easier to perform and less physically demanding. However, as a result of this, peoples lives are also becoming more sedentary. There is a need for motivating people to be more active. The project's solution to this problem was to develop a mobile game application which made use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology together with GPS to be able to set the outdoor world as the playing field. Along with using the science of gamification, we strove to create a gameplay that encourages players to continue to play. The resulting game makes the player move outdoors to be able to progress within the game. This feature of the game counteracts sedentary behavior. The results suggest that the use of gamification is an important aspect of making a game that players find fun and motivating. The AR technology was less important and needs more functions than just being able to view 3D-models. / Med fortsatta avancemang inom teknologi, blir vardagliga uppgifter lättare att utföra och mindre fysiskt ansträngande. Dock som ett resultat av detta blir människors vardag mer stillasittande. Det finns ett behov av att motivera människor till att bli mer aktiva. Projektets lösning till detta problem var att utveckla ett spel till mobiltelefoner som använde sig av Augmented Reality teknologi ihop med GPS för att sätta upp världen utomhus som spelplan. Tillsammans med vetenskapen om spelifiering, strävade vi efter att skapa en spelupplevelse som uppmuntrar spelare att fortsätta att spela. Det resulterande spelet kräver att spelare rör på sig utomhus för att kunna nå framsteg inom spelet. Denna aspekt av spelet motverkar stillasittande beteende. Resultaten föreslår att användningen av spelifiering är en viktig aspekt i skapandet av ett spel som spelare finner roligt och motiverande. Användningen av AR-teknologi var mindre viktig och behöver fler funktioner än att bara kunna visa 3D-modeller.
