Geous: A Public Transport Management Platform Based on Mobile and Ubiquitous Technologies

Abstract

Currently public transport (buses), as it is known today, presents many irregularities in terms of user perception, having great problems in waiting times between buses, the inconvenience of not knowing how long the bus takes to be desired the user to reach his current position. The development of complex solutions that help solve problems of today's society is an objective of the disciplinary work that characterizes computing. This article presents the results of a project that consists of developing a platform for geolocation of buses, so that any user with a mobile device can see the position in real time of the bus in a certain route. You can know the time of arrival to each booth or bus stop and the distance of the user's current location. This promotes the updating of public transport (buses), facilitates control of the transport network, reduces the uncertainty of users to find the nearest bus and generates a presence system between user and driver.
