UV Tracking and Booking with Accident Reporting and Speed Alert Logs using Android Smartphone

Abstract

The use of communication technologies—the internet and cell phones enhance service delivery in transportation, including the use of mobile application. The popularity of mobile applications has become increasingly dominant on mobile phone users, due to its availability across a wide variety of platforms. This study is a mobile application designed to facilitate the passengers and commuters who rely on public transportation like Utility Vehicles (UVs), in monitoring the UV seat's availability for travelling and pending UV trips, booking, and seat reservation for pick up and walk in passengers. Additionally, provides passengers in viewing the real-time location and real-time travel time information of the UV, enabling the Global Positioning System (GPS) in smartphone device. Likewise, allow UV drivers to view the passenger's pick up location and communicate with them through SMS or phone call. This application is also designed to monitor the over speeding of the driver and provides an SMS accident notification to the management to send an urgent rescue that would reduce fatalities. The software process model used was the Agile Software Development Model. This model is a fusion of iterative and incremental process models based on process adaptability and customer satisfaction through the timely delivery of working software product. Requirements modeling was conducted to ensure the input, process, output, performance, and control requirements needed for software development.
