| Summary: | Driving kids to school is a straightforward task but in a world where technology is constantly growing the demand to digitalize every daily process has been normalized. From bus drivers, school administrators to parents there have been demands to track the driven route of the bus and to keep track of the children. In this master thesis the development of a mobile application to keep track of a school bus and its pupils was carried out as well as the development of a toolkit to visualize the collected data. The aim of the application was to help the client collect data of a driven route. The clients will use the application for resource optimization. Methods within interaction design and user experience has been applied to design an application that works best for the targeted group. Interviews and a user study were carried out to evaluate if the application can be used as intended. The result has all of the functionalities that satisfy the needs of the clients and it’s customers. In case of accident the application is able to pinpoint the exact location of the bus and keep track of the pupils that have been checked in by the bus driver. The application will also log the geographical coordinates of the driven route when being used. A toolkit with a visual map has been implemented to show the driven route and information about the pupils. However the application can be improved by design to help the bus drivers perform actions on the application faster to save time while logging pupils statuses for each station. === <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p> |
