Desenvolvimento de Interface para dispositivos móveis para interação entre demandantes e ofertantes de passagens no transporte aquaviário no Amazonas

Abstract

More than one third of the largest freshwater basin on the planet is located within the state of Amazonas, Brazil. As the region is crossed by rivers, waterway transportation assumes a role of locomotion, supply, communication and connection between the municipalities. Despite the great importance that river navigation has, there were few technological advances applied to facilitate the undertaking of activities within the sector. This article intends to elaborate a proposal of a mobile application interface for buying and selling regional boat tickets. To carry out this research, the Project E project method (Meurer and Slabuk, 2010) was applied to understand the structure of the ticket sales service and to develop a digital interface with functions that would collaborate with the execution and modernization of the ticket sales service. The result was an easy-to-navigate graphical user interface rated as excellent according to the usability analysis method by Lima (2013).
