Projeto de uma Graphical User Interface (GUI) de um sistema colaborativo para apoiar o estudo da eficiência energética em trens urbanos no contexto de cidades Inteligentes.

Abstract

One of the biggest challenges of the twenty- rst century is the sustainable development applied in the urban setting. The sustainable technologies change a city's infrastructure and the public services, improving citizens' quality of life, transforming them into Smart Cities. One of the points discussed in the context of Smart Cities is related to urban mobility. In Urban Mobility, electric trains contribute to the savings of natural resources when using electricity. One strategy to aid in the energy efficiency of trains is the use of Genetic Algorithms. Some literature works, which use Genetic Algorithms, were developed for speci c rail networks and do not use graphical interfaces to present the solutions discovered, making it di cult to identify improvements by other people. Given the context presented, the goal of this work is to identify a strategy to design a graphical interface, in Collaborative Systems, that allows its users to modify the con guration parameters of the Genetic Algorithm and the domain of the problem. As proof of concepts, a prototype was developed, evaluated by the heuristics proposed by Nielsen (1994), where it was possible to identify the alignment of the prototype with the purpose of the system and acquire feedback from users.
