CONCLUSIONS
A public transport on route travel assistant has been
explained in this paper. This system is a pervasive system
based on Android technology. Its main goal is to facilitate
the access to the public transport and to provide interest
information. For these reasons, the system is specially
conceived for people with special needs and tourist. The
system architecture is structured by three main components:
The ORIS, the ACA and the ISP. The ACA runs on the
mobile terminal of the traveller, the ORIS executes on a
computer that is a part of the infrastructure of the vehicle
and the ISP runs on relevant elements of the public transport
network: vehicles, station and stops. One relevant
contribution of this work is the variety of interest
functionalities we have checked by Android mobile
applications. Specifically, the Bluetooth services
management and the Text-To-Speech functionalities in
various languages.
Goals for future works are the use of new communication
technologies, such as iBurst, or also HC-SDMA (High
Capacity Spatial Division Multiple Access), to provide
Internet access to the travellers in vehicles, and ZigBee for
travellers mobile terminals communications are goals for
future works.
