Weeks 6 and 7

We are late but here is our weekly report!

Our week 6 was a little difficult, because Ademar and I (Beatriz) were sick. Despite this, team 2gether continued its work. At that time, we decided that Rua Ademar de Barros, in Jardim de Todos os Santos - Senador Canedo, would inspire us to create our model street, after all, it was decided in our meeting with the counterparts that we would create an ideal street prototype, to make it an example for urban mobility in Senador Canedo.

Here is a visualization of the street we are working on.

We did research on how to make a street accessible, and found several booklets prepared by City Halls from all over Brazil, which provide information on sidewalks, wheelchair ramps and tactile floors. There are also the notebooks of the "Brasil Acessível - Programa Brasileiro de Mobilidade Urbana (Accessible Brazil - Brazilian Urban Mobility Program)" developed by the National Secretariat for Transport and Urban Mobility, and volumes 2 and 5 were read, which deal with the construction of an accessible city and the implementation of accessible transport systems, respectively. We also read ABNT 9050, NBR 14022 and also ABNT NBR 16537 on Accessibility - Tactile Signage on the Floor - Guidelines for project design and installation. All this information was very important to guide us in the elaboration of our 3D model street project. Thus, we continue to improve our 3D drawing.

We also have the smart screen prototype for the bus stop (which we will be developing) and the educational program. With the lack of information from the population of Senador Canedo, which was also mentioned in our meeting with the counterparts, we realized even more the importance of creating this program. We already have some ideias, like showed in this picture below, and we will be detailing it more in the coming weeks, for our final presentation.

Finally, this week 7 we also started to think about how our final presentation will be ... Here's a preview.

We are very excited, as we will have a lot of work in these final weeks of the program, and we hope to present a great job at the end!
