iStop
Summary
The iStop application aims at integrating of location services and less bureaucracy at accessing rotary and private parking. All this through the monitoring of streets via satellite in order to solve the problems related to urban mobility, environment and quality of life of the population.
How We Addressed This Challenge
When it comes to urban mobility, monitoring on satellite the parking spots will solve the difficulty of drivers in finding parking spots on the streets of Belo Horizonte by reducing unnecessary and repetitive displacement to the point of improving vehicle traffic. In addition, this decrease in traffic will also contribute to the preservation of the environment, because there will be less emission of polluting gases from vehicles.
Regarding the quality of life, the ease of finding parking spots and the better vehicle traffic on the streets will decrease the high stress level which drivers have to deal with.
The iStop application will have the function of showing the parking lots available and exposing the rotation time required in a determined region. Besides that, the users will be able to buy digital rotary and may have a discount in private parking lots.
How We Developed This Project
The perception that part of the problems related to urban mobility, environment and quality of life could be solved from a single initiative.
The starting point was to identify the space we are in and the frequent problems of the population. From there, we have designed the unification of possible solutions to these problems.
From a computer and a python programming language development tool we have developed an application which can bring solutions as we have described in the previous fields
So far, no relevant data has been identified to cite or achievements that the team has achieved.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
Through Earth Science Applied Sciences (from Nasa), we used databases to promote the development of technological work processes in order to collect information from the streets of Belo Horizonte so that we could create solutions for locomotion, vehicle parking and more than that, reducing pollution by vehicles.
