Abstract
La seguridad vial consiste en la prevención para evitar accidentes de tráfico o minimizar los posibles efectos de los mismos, especialmente para la salud de las personas. A su vez también se refiere a cualquier tecnología o dispositivo empleado para dicho objetivo. Las normas reguladoras y la responsabilidad de las personas componen el principal punto de la seguridad vial. Uno de los principales problemas existentes en relación con la seguridad vial es que, con el tiempo, los conductores pueden olvidar algunas normas de circulación, adquirir malos hábitos al volante o incluso ignorar ciertas indicaciones debido a su experiencia adquirida con los años. Esto puede llevar a situaciones en las que se pone en riesgo la seguridad de las personas, por lo que es necesario proporcionar medios para reforzar los conocimientos de seguridad vial de conductores experimentados. Este proyecto intenta unir la importancia de la seguridad vial y el creciente uso de las nuevas tecnologías en la vida diaria de las personas, concretamente el uso de los Smartphones.Actualmente en el mercado se encuentran escasas aplicaciones orientadas a la seguridad vial para conductores experimentados. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de este proyecto será la realización de una aplicación de ayuda a conductores experimentados para poder reforzar sus conocimientos sobre seguridad vial mediante el uso de su teléfono móvil. La metodología para el desarrollo de la aplicación ha sido una metodología de desarrollo ágil como es Scrum. Esta decisión se ha tomado en base a las características del proyecto así como a la planificación del mismo. La plataforma escogida para el desarrollo de la aplicación ha sido Android, ya que es el sistema operativo para móviles que presenta un mayor crecimiento en los últimos años. El lenguaje de programación utilizado ha sido Java ya que es el lenguaje propio de Android. Para el desarrollo se ha utilizado la herramienta Eclipse con los plugin necesarios para adaptarlo al desarrollo de aplicaciones Android. Como resultado de éste proyecto se ha obtenido un prototipo de una aplicación de seguridad vial para dispositivos móviles dirigida a conductores experimentados, para que éstos, mediante la utilización de material multimedia, puedan reforzar los conocimientos sobre seguridad vial.
Road safety consists in preventing crashes or minimizing their effects specially to preserve human security. Any device or technology used for that purpose is also considered road safety. Road safety is mainly based on laws and human’s responsibility. One of the main problems regarding road safety is that drivers may forget some traffic regulations, acquire bad driving habits or ignore certain signals due to their driving experience throughout the years. This can lead to situations in which somebody’s life may be at risk, so it is necessary to provide means to strengthen experienced drivers’ knowledge about road safety. This project tries to join road safety and the increased use of technology in people’s life, mainly those ones who use Smartphones. Therefore, the main objective of this project is the development of a mobile application to help experienced drivers to refresh their knowledge about road safety. This project has been carried out following an agile methodology named Scrum. This decision was taken considering not only the special features of the project but also its planning. The mobile operating system chosen for this application was Android because it is the mobile system that has a biggest use in the current mobile phone markets. The programming language selected was Java because it is the one used by Android devices. The tool used for programming was Eclipse IDE with specific plugins installed for Android development. Besides, testswere executed during this project to check the correct operation of the application. The final product of this project is a road safety app prototype for Android phones oriented to experienced drivers. Through the use of multimedia contents, drivers could refresh their road safety knowledge or acquire new one.
