2 Outline Background Problem Statement Objectives System Architecture Basic User Definitions Use Case Technologies Used Challenges / Uncertainties Expected Outcome Project Plan Progress So Far 2

3 Background PRT system is unpredictable regarding failure University only reports outages lasting longer than thirty minutes No interface exists to combine information regarding the operating status of the PRT and bus systems With smartphones becoming more and more prevalent, there exists a need to develop an Android application to address the above issues 3

4 Problem Statement Create Android application and website to provide users with real-time information regarding the operating status of the bus and PRT systems at WVU Provide a customizable notification system through either SMS or email Track locations of individual PRT cars via RF transmitters or phone tracking Provide a route optimizer App will utilize crowdsourcing Crowdsourcing – a technique which allows users of the software to provide the majority of the information 4

5 Objectives 5

6 System Architecture 6

7 State Diagram 7

8 Basic User Functions Administrator Add current report logs to master log Android and Web User View the current operating status of the bus and PRT systems Utilize route optimizer feature Request / receive notifications Android User Send PRT operating status reports to the server to provide other users with updates. 8

9 Use Case 9

10 Technologies Used Android App  Java, XML, SQL, Google Maps Webpage  HTML, CSS, SQL, PHP 10

11 Challenges / Uncertainties Relying on users to report the status of PRT accurately and reliably Limit the number of reports users can send per hour Require users to be located in the general vicinity of Morgantown to send a report Getting users to actively participate in reporting the status of the PRT Developing app to function properly with different devices (screen size & density) and versions of Android 11

12 Expected Outcome Produce multiple prototypes, each adding additional functionality Produce and publish a final application to the Android Marketplace which fulfills the specified objectives and requirements Construct a webpage to provide users without a smartphone the same functionality as users of the app with the exception of reporting the operating status 12

13 Project Plan 13

14 Progress So Far Initial app prototype completed mid October Website completed with links to all documents as well as prototype 14
