Aplicación móvil con Flutter para reducir los retrasos en el recorrido de buses de la Cooperativa Santiago de Quero

Abstract

Nowadays, technology has become an essential part of many processes in human life. In fact, for sectors such as commerce, industry, and healthcare, it is a fundamental component that allows them to function properly and continue growing and evolving. The transportation sector is no exception, as technology also plays a role by offering improvements in various aspects. The Santiago de Quero Transport Cooperative, a company dedicated to public transportation, currently manages a manual time control system along its route, which causes delays in the buses' journeys. This research project proposes the implementation of a mobile application focused on the automated control of time records through the geolocation (GPS) of the mobile device. This system introduces new digital control points distributed along the route. With the help of the XP methodology, the project was developed iteratively using the Dart programming language and the Flutter framework. For the backend, the Node.js framework was used, and MongoDB was chosen as the database. This non-relational database adapts well to the proposed solution. The system replaces the various manual control points along the route with digital ones, resulting in better time management and greater ease in performing the tasks involved.
