STEQ: Sistema de Transporte Escolar de Queimadas.

Abstract

In Queimadas-PB, hundreds of students depend on the school bus daily to reach their schools and universities in Campina Grande. Information on schedules, routes, and drivers is currently shared through WhatsApp groups and results in misinformation and stress every day due to the large number of messages, as there are hundreds of students enrolled in them from different schools and colleges, especially on days when there is some change. The central problem is the lack of a platform that provides unified and updated information on student transportation. This lack of organized information negatively impacts students' academic performance, causing frustration, absences, and additional transportation expenses. The proposal consists of developing an accessible and responsive web platform that serves as a reliable source for students to obtain this data accurately, eliminating the need to rely on messaging groups. The methodology includes interviewing students, drivers, and the transportation department to gather requirements, along with the development of a web platform, focusing on usability and an intuitive interface. The implementation is expected to significantly reduce disorganization, misinformation, stress and delays faced by students, improving school attendance and, consequently, academic performance.
