Inspiration- Being a child that is responsible for my younger siblings I decided to simplify the routine followed and ease the morning rush whilst reducing the uncertainty of the bus whereabouts.
What it does -Actively track the bus location in real-time and inform parents in case of any changes or hiccups experienced
How we built it- Using java android studio for the creation of the different modules of the application intertwined with firebase as the database for the application.
Challenges we ran into - How to update the location and use GPS to actively track and refresh the position was quite a challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of - having the application run and function as expected fully surprised me as all the modules were properly in calculated for and were well arranged.
What we learned- That a project needs attention at every stage of production with strict guidelines otherwise it will all bombard one person with the modules that should function accordingly and in line with its documentation at all its stages at a point that can be overwhelming.
What's next for Tototrack System- To incalculate the mpesa for the transport payments application and later deploy it to the playstore for schools and parents to use.
