Abstract
Nas grandes cidades, a logística associada ao transporte de pessoas com
necessidades especiais tem sido, frequentemente, um processo manual, demorado
e ineficiente. Associações que oferecem suporte a este público enfrentam grandes
desafios ao tentar organizar diariamente rotas, veículos, motoristas e os requisitos
específicos de cada utente. Esses problemas operacionais acabam por impactar
negativamente a qualidade dos serviços prestados, além de sobrecarregar os
responsáveis pela gestão. Nesse contexto, surge a necessidade de uma solução
tecnológica inovadora que automatize e otimize esses processos, tornando-os mais
ágeis, eficazes e personalizados.
O nosso projeto busca responder a essa necessidade através do
desenvolvimento de uma aplicação web para a gestão interna dos serviços de
transporte de pessoas com limitações de mobilidade. A aplicação foi desenhada
para ser intuitiva e funcional, permitindo às associações gerir eficientemente
motoristas, veículos, agendamentos, paragens e as necessidades específicas dos
utentes. Com base em um modelo de dados cuidadosamente elaborado, o sistema
integra múltiplas tabelas relacionadas, como Motorista, Veículo, Utente, Agenda, e
Caraterísticas, para garantir que as informações sejam organizadas de forma lógica
e acessível.
A aplicação também inclui módulos para monitorizar o estado de veículos e
motoristas, garantindo que recursos estejam sempre disponíveis e em condições
para cumprir as rotas. Outro destaque é a possibilidade de visualizar as paragens
realizadas em cada viagem, ajudando a auditar e melhorar continuamente os
serviços prestados.
Ao automatizar as tarefas anteriormente feitas manualmente, como a alocação
de motoristas ou a definição de rotas otimizadas, o sistema reduz o esforço
administrativo. Isso resulta em maior eficiência operacional, redução de custos e,
sobretudo, na melhoria da experiência para os utentes que dependem do serviço.
Com esta solução tecnológica, espera-se transformar a maneira como as
associações gerem o transporte de pessoas com necessidades especiais,
promovendo inclusão, acessibilidade e qualidade de vida para os utentes, ao
mesmo tempo em que alivia a carga logística das organizações envolvidas. Este
projeto representa um avanço significativo rumo à modernização dos serviços de
transporte assistido.
Abstract : In large cities, the logistics associated with transporting people with special needs has often been a manual, time-consuming, and inefficient process. Associations providing support to this audience face significant challenges when attempting to organize routes, vehicles, drivers, and the specific requirements of each user on a daily basis. These operational issues negatively impact the quality of services provided and overload those responsible for management. In this context, there arises the need for an innovative technological solution that automates and optimizes these processes, making them faster, more efficient, and tailored. Our project aims to address this need by developing a web application for the internal management of transportation services for people with mobility limitations. The application is designed to be intuitive and functional, allowing associations to efficiently manage drivers, vehicles, schedules, stops, and the specific needs of users. Based on a carefully designed data model, the system integrates multiple related tables, such as Driver, Vehicle, User, Schedule, and Characteristics, to ensure that information is organized in a logical and accessible manner. The application also includes modules to monitor the status of vehicles and drivers, ensuring that resources are always available and in suitable condition to carry out routes. Another highlight is the ability to visualize the stops made during each trip, helping to audit and continuously improve the services provided. By automating tasks previously performed manually, such as assigning drivers or defining optimized routes, the system reduces administrative effort. This results in greater operational efficiency, cost reduction, and, above all, improved experience for the users who depend on the service. With this technological solution, we aim to transform how associations manage the transportation of people with special needs, promoting inclusion, accessibility, and quality of life for the users, while also alleviating the logistical burden on the organizations involved. This project represents a significant step toward the modernization of assisted transportation services.
