Location Broadcasting Using Mobile Push Technology

The pace of change brought by new technologies has had a significant effect on the way people live, work and even play worldwide. New and emerging technologies such as mobile devices now has become part of the daily routine of every human being as their aid or even assistant in whatever things they wish to do. In a progressing country like the Philippines, most likely in one of its highly-urbanized city, Butuan, commuters always have uncertainties on their travel especially the buses. In the daily operation of public transport systems, mainly of buses, the movement of vehicles is affected by different uncertain conditions as the day progresses, such as traffic, congestion, unexpected delays, and randomness in passenger demand, irregular vehicle-dispatching times, and incidents. Location Broadcasting using Mobile Push Technology Mobile Application uses a variety of technologies to track the location of buses at a certain point or station and uses this information to commuters for possible predictions of bus arrivals, route schedule and status of the bus, making time efficient for the riding public to reach the bus stop just before the bus arrives or take an alternate means of transport if the bus is delayed. When properly and appropriately implemented, this can provide competitive enhancement to any transport companies and greater benefits for the community which in turn reduces traffic and pollution.
