| Summary: | An alternative to optimize transportation services in the city of Puebla is presented. Main problems tackled to provide advanced transport
applications in a Smart City, are described and some available solutions in other countries are analyzed. As a case of study, the
challenges for designing and developing a mobile application oriented to users of the buses provided by Universidad de las Américas
Puebla (UDLAP) are presented. Users include students, as well as faculty members and administrative employees. The application
provides an innovative way of tracking, in real time, movements of the UDLAP transportation buses through the city of Puebla in
Mexico. Modeling and technical implementation solved problems are presented and future steps for extending those services to the city
of Puebla are also suggested. |
