Study goals
To propose and detail the Rota Livre system, which integrates real-time emergency alerts into navigation applications, aiming to optimize the flow of rescue vehicles in urban centers to reduce response times and save lives.
Relevance / originality
The originality lies in using ubiquitous and already widespread digital technologies to solve a chronic public safety problem, overcoming the limitations of conventional alert systems and proposing a model with low adoption costs and high social impact.
Methodology / approach
A hybrid methodological approach is adopted, combining Design Thinking for the conception and conceptual validation of the solution 11, and an applied research framework, divided into four phases, for planning the technical implementation and pilot project.
Main results
The main result is the detailed conception of the Rota Livre ecosystem itself, validated by qualitative field research that showed significant approval of the solution from both common and emergency drivers, confirming the project's desirability.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
This work contributes a technical-operational model for integrating alert systems into navigation platforms and structures an implementation framework for Smart City projects based on Design Thinking and multi-sector partnerships.
Social / management contributions
The main social contribution is the potential to save lives by reducing response times. For management, it offers an innovative tool to optimize fleet usage, increase the efficiency of emergency services, and improve urban safety.
