Information query for public bicycle service based on Andriod

This paper presents an information query system for renting and returning public bicycles based on Android system. The system provides two parts of services: position locating and station query. Position locating is tackled by baidu API entirely, station query includes two sub parts: station marking and information updating. We use the latitude and longitude of the station to mark the station on the map, and query the station around current location. We use the station ID as the open API's parameter to query the station information, then analyze the returned JSON data with station information, and extract the remaining bicycles for renting and remaining seats for returning from the JSON data. At last, we update the station information on the map. This system aims to propose an integrated solution for public bicycle service. Experiments in 3 test cases demonstrate the effect of the proposed system, and indicate that the system can fully meet the requirement for public bicycle service.
