As commuters want to be informed about the current status of public transport vehicles, availability of real time information to commuters will make public transport more trustworthy and reliable. Having more people use public transport has good implications - not only will it result to less traffic congestion, but a greener environment too. In this paper we present Irenbus, a novel dynamic real-time information system that keeps commuters informed about buses currently in transit and other relevant information such as vehicle arrival time. The system is composed of three subsystems that cater for commuters, bus drivers and bus managers respectively. These are all developed using the Firebase Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform. Several sophisticated automated tests on the mobile application component of the system were carried out to evaluate its device resource consumption. The results of the tests show that the proposed system is very efficient and suitable for use on low end devices. |
