Arquitetura de aplicação para utilização de instalações de acessibilidade no campus sede da UFSM

Abstract

Although a significant percentage of the population has some type of disability, public spaces are not always designed and built following norms that promote inclusion and autonomy. Federal universities, as public spaces for the circulation of people as diverse as the Brazilian population, should guide the planning and installation of physical spaces that promote accessibility for people with different types of disabilities. Furthermore, it is necessary that these facilities are known to the public so that they can be better used. Information and communication technologies are important tools that can help achieve this goal. This work aims to present an application architecture that allows access to information about accessible routes and access ramps to sidewalks for people with reduced mobility in the scenario of the Main Campus of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM). It is intended that the architecture meets requirements that make it transparent and accessible to professionals from different areas of knowledge and that allows flexibility in the implementation of the application for the end user. The objective of creating an architecture that gives autonomy to UFSM and generates the minimum cost is also pursued, giving priority to technologies and services that allow the university to be the irrevocable owner of databases, APIs and all the components necessary for the provision of a functional application for the end user. The architecture was validated through the construction of a web application and the execution of four use cases with possible resolutions.
