Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil android para la consulta de rutas de una línea de buses urbanos que circulan por la ciudad de Quito referenciando los puntos de partida y destino del usuario.

Abstract

The purpose of the project is to help the citizens of Quito’s city reach their destination in a clear and intuitive way, visualizing the routes of the bus that operate in Quito and are close to their location, as entered as a parameter the place of destination, the code and the name of the transport line. This will reduce time due to poor planning and ignorance of the routes to the destination. Using the agile scrum methodology to carry out the tasks quickly with a margin for changes requested by the user. The application is based on the server - client architecture, on the client side, the mobile application, and in the server side with an environment based on a web interface that, through REST requests, allows the interaction with the base engine. Operations data as modification, elimination and insertion of routes. The estimation of the ideal routes is done through the functions of the administration system of the spatial database (Postgres - Postgis), obtaining the best routes according to the distance and the number of units according to the destination entered by the user. The consistency achieved searching for routes, obtaining an average time of 34 milliseconds (for one route) and 51 seconds (for two routes), using 500 concurrent users. Is a result that allows users a useful and reliable service.
