Geolocalización de Rutas de Buses en tiempo Real: Caso de estudio Ciudad de Otavalo

Abstract

A good public transport system is one of the pillars for the economic and social development of cities. People use this service to move to their jobs and perform various activities daily and for this reason it is required that the service and its information is available and available to the public in an effective way. On the other hand, mobile applications offer us the possibility of obtaining information on events such as the location of buses in real time. However, this problem involves the use and coordination of various technologies. In this work, the development of an application prototype is proposed so that users obtain the position of a bus in real time. This prototype was evaluated with the bus company in the city of Otavalo. The results show a satisfactory performance with the simultaneous use of several users, in addition to presenting a low cost of implementation by the public transport company.
