Secured Location Based Bus Route Locator Application for Android Mobiles

Dayanand G Savakar ^[9] | Ravi Hosur ^[6]

Abstract: In the existing information system, the user who visits unknown city is unable to find the location or landmark of the place he/she is in. During his/her journey in the vehicle, may think of when my stop comes, how far I-m from my destination, etc. This issue is answered by our proposed model in this paper where the mobile phones with android application find the bus route based on the Location Based Services (LBS) finder which is embedded. In the model, once the bus number is entered, the application displays the list of stops that are to be covered by the specified bus number for the route. Depending on users- selected destination, the application locates source and destination on the map, and then a dialog box appears on the map where we set the alarm as a notification. During the journey, the application gives a notification message about the next station in terms of distance (in miles) away from the source. The proposed model also assists the visually impaired people like the BLIND People for whom the Tap, Grid & Gesture mode are developed in the proposed model.
