#ParadaCerta

#ParadaCerta is a network of interactive panels placed in bus-stops to ensure public transport optimization with less energy / CO2 emission.

Long description

In condensed cities such as São Paulo, the number of cars is not the only explanation for heavy traffic. The time cars, buses, taxis, app cars, trucks, etc, stand still, for various reasons, in the middle of the streets also contributes for worsening the traffic.

Stressed by unhealthy working conditions and heavy traffic, bus drivers not always stop every time the passenger needs. Other times, they stop more than the necessary, not knowing there is no one to get on the bus. The passengers have to stand close to the streets, checking every bus and shaking their arms to make sure they get in the right bus. Also, that poses a special challenge for blind people who have to rely on someone else to reach their destinations.

Ensuring a healthy relation starts with communication. And between bus passagens and bus drivers it is not different. The good news: this is what #ParadaCerta does! As the passagens tell their destinations (or which bus they need) to the interactive panel/app, #ParadaCerta makes sure the right bus stops for them! You no longer need to make a face to the bus driver, run after the bus, nor fall over for sudden braking!

Moreover, the smart-stopping technology also ensures less stop-overs and more fluidity in transit!

#ParadaCerta version 1: passengers press the button of the bus they need (like en elevator) and the bus driver know where it has to stop and the updated route. Data starts to be collected/analysed.
