Diseño de una aplicación móvil para difusión de la presencia del recolector de basura en ciertos sectores de la ciudad de Quito, mediante GPS.

Abstract

The current document illustrates the design of a mobile application for the dissemination of the garbage collection truck within the city of Quito, for this project a smartphone with Android operating system is used on the client side and a GPS device. The application's algorithm begins to send notifications to the customer when the collection truck enters a radius of 500 meters with reference to the customer's address and finishes notifying when the collection truck passes the address. The experimental tests showed that the GPS device transmits the latitude and longitude coordinates with an effectiveness of 97.22% and the message with the estimated time of arrival of the truck arrives in an average of 52 milliseconds.
