GPS Based travel Project is
aimed at people with Smart Phones helps them to figure out the effective route
from their current place to their friend’s place. It will be developed as an
application for android based phone systems which utilizes the GPS service of
the phone system and Google Maps to show the effective route to his
destination.
The positions of the bus stops
are stored in the database which is used as nodes to form a graph for finding
the shortest path. The position of the bus// vehicles is tracked in every nodes (bus stops) it
passes through. The location of the application user is found out by the GPS
service of the phone system. After obtaining the destination, the effective
path is calculated based on the position and route of the vehicles. This
effective/optimum path is then plotted in the map and provided to the user.
The proposed system is an
application for android phones which helps the
user to show the optimal routes from his current place to a particular
destination. The optimal route is displayed in pictorial form by using google
maps and highlighting the route.
Considering the privacy and
security of the application user , the user can choose whom to display the
information about his location as his will. This will create a network of
friends which are able to share their real time location with each other.
The application that we are
developing is aimed mostly at people of Kathmandu Valley. Since this
application is developed on Android platform, a smart phone with Android OS
with GPS support is needed for running the application. By acquiring
information about location of user through GPS and the destination through the
user, the effective route between the users place and the destination is then
provided to the user through the use of Google Map.
