  1. WVU Transportation App Group 10 Peter Kirkpatrick – Shane Welsh – Steven White Mentor: Dr. Bourlai

  2. Outline • Background • Problem Statement • Objectives • System Architecture • Basic User Definitions • Use Case • Technologies Used • Challenges / Uncertainties • Expected Outcome • Project Plan • Progress So Far

  3. Background • PRT system is unpredictable regarding failure • University only reports outages lasting longer than thirty minutes • No interface exists to combine information regarding the operating status of the PRT and bus systems • With smartphones becoming more and more prevalent, there exists a need to develop an Android application to address the above issues

  4. Problem Statement • Create Android application and website to provide users with real-time information regarding the operating status of the bus and PRT systems at WVU • Provide a customizable notification system through either SMS or email • Track locations of individual PRT cars via RF transmitters or phone tracking • Provide a route optimizer • App will utilize crowdsourcing • Crowdsourcing – a technique which allows users of the software to provide the majority of the information

  5. Objectives

  6. System Architecture

  7. State Diagram

  8. Basic User Functions • Administrator • Add current report logs to master log • Android and Web User • View the current operating status of the bus and PRT systems • Utilize route optimizer feature • Request / receive notifications • Android User • Send PRT operating status reports to the server to provide other users with updates.

  9. Use Case

  10. Technologies Used • Android App • Java, XML, SQL, Google Maps • Webpage • HTML, CSS, SQL, PHP

  11. Challenges / Uncertainties • Relying on users to report the status of PRT accurately and reliably • Limit the number of reports users can send per hour • Require users to be located in the general vicinity of Morgantown to send a report • Getting users to actively participate in reporting the status of the PRT • Developing app to function properly with different devices (screen size & density) and versions of Android

  12. Expected Outcome • Produce multiple prototypes, each adding additional functionality • Produce and publish a final application to the Android Marketplace which fulfills the specified objectives and requirements • Construct a webpage to provide users without a smartphone the same functionality as users of the app with the exception of reporting the operating status

  13. Project Plan

  14. Progress So Far • Initial app prototype completed mid October • Website completed with links to all documents as well as prototype
