Abstract


In the current context, the traffic is one of the most critical factors of urban mobility in cities. In this perspective, this paper proposes Twittraffic: a platform for monitoring, visualization and identification of traffic events. The platform enables the sharing of information on social networks like Twitter, so pervasive and collaborative. During the period from December 2012 to March 2013, data were collected (tweets) with content related to transit in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. After the analysis and processing of data collected, it was possible to profile the traffic of the cities studied, identifying time, place (streets) and days of the week when there is more traffic events. The study showed results of collecting close to 90% confidence in the context of traffic, which demonstrates the efficiency of the operation of the platform.
