Optimización del proceso de diseño de los planos de la señalización de seguridad

Resumen

The placement of safety signs on buildings and crowded public places and work places is usually done quickly and not always effectively. Generally, the financial budget dedicated to this facility, taking into account that involves installing a series of plastic signs, is not cost-effective compared to the work involved in its implementation properly. Given that, fortunately, these are facilities that are rarely necessary, it seems logical and necessary effort and resources devoted to its design. But even taking into account these premises, it is unthinkable to make the design of these facilities without trying to approach the optimum design. It therefore seems necessary to develop tools that not only reduce the mechanical and repetitive work required to perform these designs, but also allow us to bring the level of safety of these facilities to the maximum required to each, ensuring technical staff employees that their design is the best of all possible. With this in mind, work has been developed. It has been arranged so that, once raised the issue of it, we will establish the hypothesis considered, and objectives defined at the beginning of the investigation. It will also be considered and justified the methodology of work followed. While the final outcome of the investigation will be embodied in a computer program, the study will focus on establishing the groundwork that allows its definition, through the requirements that will be set throughout the study. As a starting point of research, a study of the state of the art will be made. Thus all legislation and regulations affecting the system design will be analyzed, focusing the work on the statement of the premises to be considered during the establishment of requirements. Another important point is the study of the programs that are available to technicians in signaling. As a starting point in the research, we will carry out an analysis of the target system. It will be structured in several sections and it will be analyzed the data stream that can convert the information extracted from the rules and regulations studied. Then we will analyze the use cases in which the system can be defined. These use cases reflect the various scenarios that may be encountered during the use of the system. Use cases diagrams are transformed into state diagrams, which will lead us to an approach to the procedimental solution of the case taken as a basis for developing the prototype. The fundamental step in designing the structure of the system is modelling. This will establish the conceptual classes with their relationships and attributes, so that the system design will be completed in the absence of development and structure as a computer program. Although it appears as the final part of the analysis process, the realization of a prototype will serve as a testbed in which to test the result of the design done. In addition, data and experiences arising from the use of prototype will feedback the design process, providing a wealth of information to the steps outlined above and performed simultaneously with it. To validate the whole process, the prototype will be used for carrying out various projects within a protected environment, allowing study "in the wild" the behavior of both the user and the system, observing the mutual interaction and drawing conclusions difficult to achieve since the cold point of view of analysis.Finally, before final conclusions are drawn a Software Requirements Specification document, as recommended by the IEEE in IEEE 830.
