Platform and mobile application to provide information on public transport using a low-cost embedded device

Abstract:

This work presents the development of an urban public transport information system, to improve user mobility. The system contains an informative screen located in the stops where a bus makes its journey. It adds auditory messages, which promote the people inclusion with visual disabilities and the illiterate population. For greater interaction with passengers, a platform has been implemented where you can see the route to follow, timetables, weather and the pbkp_redicted time until another bus unit reaches that stop. In addition, an intuitive application compatible with Android smartphones has been presented. For data processing, the Raspberry Pi 3 embedded board has been used as the central unit of the system. At the same time, a web server has been incorporated, which allows the processing of information and its storage in a database.
