Sistema web para la gestión georreferenciada de los recorridos y horarios del servicio de buses de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato

Abstract

This project describes the creation of a web system with geolocation, made up of two applications, the web application is in charge of managing routes and schedules of the bus service of the Technical University of Ambato, any user of the university community will have access to it to view the information regarding the service, as well as the established routes and the real-time geolocation function, while the mobile application is focused for the exclusive use of drivers to send coordinates when they make their journey. The project is developed using the XP methodology and the layered architecture pattern, making use of the ASP.NET frameworks on the server side and the .NET Framework on the client side, that due to its degree of compatibility facilitated the integration of tools such as Visual Studio, which in turn offers different application models allowing the use web forms, used in the design of the user interface of the geolocation system, while for the development of the mobile application it was done under Xamarin technology. ASP .NET made it easy to create the server-side development environment using its tools such as Entity Framework. The implementation of the web system facilitated the management of routes and schedules of the bus service of the Technical University of Ambato, saving time and resources used in the administration, in turn improved the dissemination of the service information to the university community and being reflected in them in the ease of organization in the mobilizations to the different campuses. This is due to the easy identification of the information corresponding to the routes such as departure time, estimated time, arrival time and the routes on which the transport units are mobilized.
