| Abstract: |
| This paper presents the specification, development and operability of a collaborative mobile app called Go Bike, which aims to create and locate cycling groups, promoting social interaction and organizing collective activity with other cycling fans. The Go Bike app allows the sharing of information regarding the pedals performed, allows you to search groups created using the geolocation feature provided by the Google Maps API in a parameterized and collaborative way. It also provides communication, cooperation and coordination mechanisms so that group members can help each other. With these features, the app makes the physical activity of the pedal well used by everyone in a way that stimulates the interaction between cyclists through collaborative groups and social networks with the possibility of sharing their activities and photos of the routes. In this way, the Go Bike platform was developed using the client-server communication method. In the server environment, the data storage is done by the MySQL relational database together with the authentication server provided by Firebase to log in with the credentials of the social network Facebook. On the client side, it was used the platform Android Studio for the development of features and business rules, making use of the SQLite database. The Go Bike application server is designed and made available in the local environment, minimizing instability risks and facilitating data manipulation. Finally, it was possible to conclude, through a usability assessment relating the 3C Collaboration Model with the user requirements and User Communicability Assessment in groupware (M3C-URUCAg method), which the study carried out in this job reached its objectives because users were able to interact and communicate easily in a shared environment, promoting interaction among users. In addition, the applied assessment showed users' interests in making continuous use of the Go Bike app in their routine cycling activities, as well as making possible future improvements. |
