Abstract:

The exponential growth of urban centers, exemplified by São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, has profound implications for urban mobility and the well-being of residents. This article delves into the potential of "smart cities" and their technological applications, specifically within the domain of urban mobility. The focus extends to technologies deployed in smart cities to improve urban mobility and reduce accidents, notably Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). These systems leverage communication and information technologies to manage city traffic effectively, contributing to sustainable urban mobility goals. However, the development of such systems demands meticulous attention to non-functional requirements, emphasizing reliability and performance. The analysis culminates in addressing barriers to services and technologies for smart cities in Brazilian roadways, specifically examining accidents on the President Dutra Highway. Proposals for implementing technologies like IoT and AI-based monitoring systems are presented. The study underlines the significance of managing non-functional requirements in developing smart city systems. The findings provide a foundation for future explorations, offering insights into the potential tools that could be implemented on the Presidente Dutra Highway, Guarulhos, São Paulo, promoting safety for both drivers and the broader population.
