Mobile Geogames: Uma Arquitetura Orientada para Coleta de Dados em Estudos de Mobilidade Urbana na Escala de Bairros

This work is an attempt to deal with the problem faced by urban planners to collect urban mobility data at a neighbourhood scale. The proposed solution, begins with (a) the acquisition, based on new interfaces for mobile devices, conceptualized as "Mobile Geogames", motivational games developed for voluntary participation in the process of acquiring mobility data and, (b) the storage and processing, of the collected data, based on a server accessible to mobile devices through the game. The paper presents a general computer architecture that defines a set of interface characteristics to explore the concept of geogames applied to urban mobility studies. Together, they build the basis for a platform with much greater resources and multiple uses in urban studies.Pages: 5963-597
