Prototipo de una Aplicación móvil para el diseño de curva de carreteras.

Abstract

Technological advances have been notorious in many approaches, be they educational, business, etc. Among the professionals who use mathematical calculations for their subsequent use of results in the labor field, are civil engineers, architects, among others. One of the areas that civil engineers handle is the design of road curves, such calculations, in many cases they are made through the use of desktop software and / or web systems, so that times and results are optimized. However, currently the use of mobile devices has become a trend, being the preference of modern users to interact with applications that perform mathematical calculations. In the absence of a mobile application that allows to perform the necessary calculations for the design of a road curve, a prototype of a mobile application was developed that calculates the parameters for setting out the simple horizontal curves, considering variables such as speed, distances, among other. For the realization of this prototype, the use of ADOBE XD prototype tools was considered for its later implementation using the Android Studio integrated development environment (IDE). The realization of this prototype allows to have a base for the development of the application, being a useful tool in the automation of the calculations to obtain the points of the design of road curves.
