Summary
This work has the purpose of describing the stages that will be carried out in the development of the application for mobile devices that use the Android operating system through which the motor transport units can be located in real time, as well as the search for the most suitable route.
The current location and the final destination of the user is taken as a reference for the development of this application, which will recommend both the route and the closest unit to take to reach their destination, with this save time and choose the best route.
Introduction
Today, there are many reasons why we can transport ourselves from one place to another, whether it be for a long trip, going to our workplace or studies, visiting a relative or friend, among many others. reasons (connie Lia Gamarra Villanueva's blog, 2010).
Frequently we need to move within our own city, for this we usually use public transport, mainly because it is much cheaper and is available most of the time.
Unfortunately, we currently do not have an effective control in the field of public transport and therefore we cannot find in this measure comfort, safety and advantage over time, among other factors that affect our daily work.
II.- Background
The city of Cancun, Quintana Roo has around 671,176 inhabitants (INEGI, 2012), of which 650,000 use Public Transport to move around the city with an average number of trips per day in 1841. Due to strong demand The existing routes were distributed over 47 routes. (Turicun, 2011)
Currently the company has records that operators do not always comply with the established route, causing disorder in the routes and loss of time in terms of mobilizing the population.
III.- Content Development
Development in the Android SDK (Software Development Kit)
An SDK is a set of tools and development programs that allows the programmer to create applications for a certain software package, software structure, hardware platform, computer system, video game query, operating system, or the like. (Moovit Transporte Publico, 2014).
This function deals with the development of applications using Google maps, focused for programmers who want to take advantage of the power of Google Maps in their developments. But in this concept it will be applied in a much simpler way and include a Google map in an API for Android, suitable for all audiences that contain a Smartphone and that will take you in a few minutes to integrate a personalized map at any time. (Android, 2010)
KML Standard Reference - OpenGIS® KML Encoding Standard (OGC KML) Programming
KML is a file format that is used to display geographic information in terrestrial browsers such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for mobile.
GPS - Global Positioning System (GPS MONITORING, 2010)
It is a technological system that allows us to locate a certain point in space via satellite, indicating the position with great accuracy.
GPS tracking gives us the possibility of having an efficient administration. In this case, we will be on the trail of the public transport units in which a device will be installed that has a GPS receiver that will allow us to know its position, it also has a transmitter that is responsible for sending position information, speed, address, among other data, towards a specific destination, such as a workstation or monitoring station. (GPS MONITORING, 2010) GSM - Global System for Mobile Communications (Groupe Special Mobile)
It is a fully defined standard system for communication by mobile phones incorporating digital technology. Because it is digital, any GSM client can connect through his telephone with his computer and can make, send and receive messages by e-mail, faxes, surf the Internet, secure access to a company's computer network (LAN / Intranet), as well as using other digital data transmission functions, including Short Message Service (SMS) or text messages.
GSM modem
It is a wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network. It sends and receives data through radio waves.
Like a GSM mobile phone, a GSM modem requires a SIM card from a wireless service provider to function. (connie Lia Gamarra Villanueva's blog, 2010)
IV. Methodology
A GPS device will be placed in each authorized public transport unit.
Each unit will be tracked to obtain information mainly on its location.
This information will be sent through the GSM / GPRS network (if coverage fails, a satellite link, Radio will be used) and a GSM modem will be in charge of receiving it.
The Android programming language will be used to create the application that works with the information registered in the database.
Each unit will have an additional device with which it can communicate with the database, both receiving and sending information when necessary.
V. Conclusions
With this control system, once the amount of information necessary regarding the route of the established routes and authorized stops according to each unit has been collected, a study of it can be carried out and the corresponding measures applied to those who are not complying with the provisions. (Turicun, 2011)
Controlling the correct fulfillment of the route of the routes and use of authorized whereabouts, using the information of route times and stop times that we will obtain we will be able to optimize the mobilization of the units. (Turicun, 2011)
There will be a permanent control of the development of the units, thus avoiding congestions, 'running around', accidents, loss of time, that is, mainly increasing security for both those who drive the unit and for passengers and pedestrians.
There will be an orderly and efficient public transport system. (Turicun, 2011)
This will recover the principle of authority lost in recent years, restoring order and discipline in public transport.
It will be possible to locate the units in real time with the application on Android. (Turicun, 2011)
Get the user-optimized path frequencies and routes.
Locate the appropriate route for passengers to reach their final destination.
