MoveUFF
2023-PRESENTMoveUFF is a shared electric bicycle project at Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF). Since 2023, I have been a technological initiation research fellow (PIBITI/CNPq) in the project, advised by Prof. Yona Lopes at the FRIENDS Laboratory. Since 2025, MoveUFF has been part of HUBMOB, a project funded by Finep in partnership with the company Bike Fácil.
I am responsible for the architecture of the distributed web SCADA system that supervises the fleet. I adapted the IEC 61850 standard, originally used in power substations, to the bicycle controller using MMS, and organized the central system into services connected by message queues, with Kubernetes adjusting the number of replicas according to the queue size.
To evaluate the architecture, I built a virtualized testbed with simulators for up to 1,000 bicycles and ran progressive load and resilience tests monitored with Prometheus and Grafana. With up to 120,000 messages transmitted, the system kept its latency compatible with real-time supervision, and the project reached a laboratory-validated prototype (TRL 4).
The work led to a first-author paper presented at the 26th Brazilian Congress of Automation (CBA 2026) and to 3rd place in the 2024 UFF Excellence Award, in the Initiation in Technology Development and Innovation category.
