iWalk: Uma Solução para Medição e Análise da Caminhabilidade de Cidades com Portais de Dados Abertos
Abstract
Understanding the interest of pedestrians movements in a region is an important task to improve the effectiveness of mobile applications and is directly related to the quality of life in urban spaces. In this sense, this work presents iWalk, a solution based on the calculations of the walkability index present in the literature. Through urban computing and using open data, with iWalk, it is possible to measure and analyze the quality of urban infrastructure in a scalable way, without the need for on-site visits. The results of the simulations indicate that the proposed solution is able to present an efficient model for the analysis of walkability indicators, using open data available in government portals.
