Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil con asistencia GPS de rutas y paradas del transporte público para el GADM de Riobamba.

Abstract

The objective of this curriculum integration work was to develop a mobile application system that allows easy access to information of the public transport service to users residing in the city of Riobamba, utilizing the Android operating system and with the aim of promoting the use of urban public transport with the help of GPS assistance in the geolocation of buses. I utilized the methodology MOBILE-D for the development of this project. Thus, I stablished a stakeholder analysis and the technologies to be used in the exploration phase; I established the project requirements in the initialization phase through data collection techniques; in the production phase the planned iterations were executed through the use of tools such as: React Native as development framework for the mobile application utilizing the JavaScript programming language, Google Maps and Pubnub as servers in the presentation of routes, stops and buses within a map of the city, I established changes in the application interfaces through improvement tables in the stabilization phase and finally I validated the functionalities of the mobile application in the testing and repair phase of the system. I calculated the percentage of availability of the application and the distribution of the application utilizing the formula established by the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), which imposed availability levels of 100% and 99.767% respectively, which were evaluated during the period from December 2021 to January 2022. In conclusion, the application developed optimally meets the objective of providing an information service to citizens; however, it is recommended to constantly update the application on mobile devices.
