Beep Me

Inspiration

Philippines, our culture, how can we as students make an impact with the use of technology in a 3rd world country

What it does

Real-time GPS tracking of Jeepneys on the move. Drivers can mark destinations where customers will be dropped off. Users can see future drop off points for each Jeepney in the area.

How we built it

Planning steps of execution and design was first done on paper. Using Google Map's Android API along with the Firebase API, we developed an Android application. that shares location information between various users

Challenges we ran into

Embedding Google Map's API in our Android application and manipulating it to what we needed

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Generating a viable idea that fixes a serious problem in many third world countries.
Knowing that this small solution can lead to a big and positive impact to millions of civilians in the Philippines.

What we learned

We learned a few things about how to implement Google API's into Android Applications and more about GPS Technologies. However, while researching topics we learned a lot about the inner turmoils that people face throughout the Philippines.

What's next for Beep Me

using data mined through our application to be used in improving other public modes of transportation.
A more descriptive interface for Drivers and Users.
