Proposta de integração de sensores de presença no sistema m estacionamento do Município da Cidade de Maputo

Abstract

Considering that municipal development is directly related to the revenue generated by the municipality, with emphasis on economic activities carried out in cities, especially in the transport sector, it becomes essential to boost urban growth, which has been increasing due to the higher population density in urban areas. In this context, this research addresses the Proposal for the Integration of Presence Sensors in the m-Parking System of the Municipality of Maputo, with the objective of proposing the integration of presence sensors into the m-Parking system, aiming to improve control and municipal revenue collection. To achieve this objective, it was necessary to describe the current state of parking space management, analyze the technologies applied to vehicle parking monitoring, and develop a prototype to demonstrate the integration and functionality of presence sensors in the monitoring system. The adopted methodology included bibliographic and documentary research to characterize the current scenario of parking management, followed by bibliographic and comparative research to identify the best technological solution for the problem encountered. Finally, a functional model was developed to demonstrate the performance and feasibility of the proposed solution. The results obtained showed that the lack of a real-time control system has been one of the factors contributing to the low municipal revenue collection, negatively impacting citizens' adherence to the use of public parking spaces. Additionally, it was found that vehicle security in parking spaces is a recurring concern, reinforcing the need for more efficient monitoring. In light of this, the integration of presence sensors for real-time monitoring proved to be an effective solution, enabling more precise control of parking space occupancy, facilitating enforcement, and contributing to increased revenue collection. Furthermore, the solution allows for the implementation of security mechanisms, such as vehicle exit notifications, ensuring greater convenience and reliability for users.
