Desenvolvimento de um sistema automatizado de elaboração de horário académico e contagem de fluxo de pessoas

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to develop an automated system for elaboration of academic schedule and people flow counting, in order to automate the registration and display of timetables, as well as the control and verification of the flow of people in the rooms of the DEEL (Department of Electrotechnical Engineering).The main aim was to optimize the preparation and display of academic timetables, allowing academic management actors to do so with greater diligence, flexibility and relatively reduced effort. For the proposed purpose, the system consisted, through a microcontroller, of registering the time through a keyboard, and counting the remaining people in the room through sensors attached to the door, showing through an electronic panel the time linked to the this room and its capacity. In this perspective, an applied research was carried out that allowed validating the possibility of solving the impasses in the elaboration and exhibition of academic schedules and occupation of classrooms, in parallel with a bibliographical research on technical specifications of the components, current schedule scenario academic and room occupation, analysis of the choice of microcontrollers and impact of system implementation. This research was associated with a survey and a professional interview, in order to obtain information about the elaboration of the current schedules in the UEM (Eduardo Mondlane University). However, the consolidation of the various research instruments and tools, culminated in a system that streamlined the configurations and reconfigurations of timetables and significantly reduced distractions in the classrooms, as well as allowed the modernization of academic management using technology, ensuring that develop the general and specific skills defined in the curricular framework of the UEM, in the curricula of the courses, with dedication and flexibility.
