The concept of Smart Cities can be an important part for the solution to this problem. One of the elements that can be found in this paradigm are smart crosswalks. Smart crosswalks can improve the access to such information by providing a way for the user to share data with them. Although they have many advantages, it is still difficult to adequately support people who are blind or visually impaired when they are crossing the street. The VALLPASS project developed a smart pedestrians crosswalk that, besides other design requirements, aims to promote accessibility by sharing local traffic data with the user. This thesis addresses this problem by presenting the development of a system that aims to provide a solution to promote accessibility of visually impaired citizens through the implementation of a digital fencing based on the user location obtained from the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) values between two beacons and the user’s smartphone. That in a future could be integrated into the VALLPASS solution. In order to explore this solution it was developed a custom-made application in Android, and it was used an ESP32 as a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacon.El crecimiento exponencial de las poblaciones urbanas ha puesto en la agenda la necesidad de que las ciudades se vuelvan más sostenibles. El concepto de Ciudades Inteligentes puede ser una parte importante de la solución a este problema. Uno de los elementos que se pueden encontrar en este paradigma son los cruces peatonales inteligentes. Los cruces de peatones inteligentes pueden mejorar el acceso a dicha información al proporcionar una forma para que el usuario comparta datos con ellos. Aunque tienen muchas ventajas, todavía es difícil brindar un apoyo adecuado a las personas ciegas o con discapacidad visual cuando cruzan la calle. El proyecto VALLPASS desarrolló un cruce de peatones inteligente que, además de otros requisitos de diseño, tiene como objetivo promover la accesibilidad al compartir datos de tráfico local con el usuario. Esta tesis aborda este problema al presentar el desarrollo de un sistema que tiene como objetivo brindar una solución para promover la accesibilidad de los ciudadanos con discapacidad visual a través de la implementación de un cercado digital basado en la ubicación del usuario obtenida a partir de los valores de RSSI entre dos balizas y el teléfono del usuario. Para explorar esta solución, se desarrolló una aplicación personalizada en Android y se utilizó un ESP32 como baliza BLE.Coelho, João PauloGonçalves, JoséPaz, Claudio J.Valled, José GonçalvesBiblioteca Digital do IPBCandisano, Facundo Manuel Bustos2023-09-11T09:05:15Z20232023-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/28724TID:203352378enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-02-25T12:20:06Zoai:bibliotecadigital.ipb.pt:10198/28724Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T11:47:34.934693Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
