Abstract

The use of smart devices to collect urban mobility data is becoming increasingly common in Brazil's major metropolitan areas, making studies into the usability of devices more common for conducting case studies and research. The aim of this paper is therefore to identify the main difficulties in the process of installing and projecting data collection in the field project carried out in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes. A descriptive analysis was carried out on a sample of the devices being used in the project in order to assess behaviors and trends through the information obtained. Through this analysis it was possible to identify some factors that influenced the installation, such as the resistance of bus and van operators, and the functioning of the devices. It was identified that the functionality of the devices may be associated with the type of charging used in the vehicle (invehicle or USB) and that the devices that emitted the most data were also those that showed no problems with the LoRa antenna. Thus, the functionality of the devices can be guaranteed despite the challenges encountered in the processes.
