Abstract

This is an Android based application which requires a mobile phone with GPS support and continuous access to internet.

Two main features 1. Track user current location and share it with friends/family

2. Calculate the cab fare between two locations

What is Location tracking?

What is Location tracking?

Location Tracking refers to attaining of current position stationary or moving

Location is tracked via

- multilateration of radio signals between (several) radio towers of the network and the phone

- Simply via GPS

Android

A Linux based OS design for touch screen mobile devices

Initially developed by Android Inc, whom Google financially backed and later purchased in 2005

large community of developers writing applications.  Advantages

Huge Android application marketFast growing marketEasy to handleSupports GPS

What is GPS?

GPS- Global Positioning SystemSpace-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the EarthUsed widely in mobile phones

today.

Literature Survey

Location-based Service(LBS)

Locating Methods

Control pane locating

GSM Localization

Other approaches

Proposed System

• Collect user location using GPS/Mobile Network

• Store location to the local server

• Share the current location with friends/family

• Calculate the distance between 2 locations

• Calculate the fare of Taxi/Auto Rickshaw

Working of proposed system

Collecting Users current locationOur system collect current location of the user

1. Using GPS (Global Positioning System).

2. Using Network Provider.

– the location provided by GPS satellites is more accurate than that provided by the network provider

Collecting User current location

Location sharing

• Sharing Location with contacts:

Suppose user A and user B are in phone contacts of each other. The strategies to be implemented for sharing locations are:

- During a phone call

- Via SMS

- Manual location sharing

Calculating Cab fare

System Requirements

Software Requirements Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo J2EE) Android SDK. Emulator to test the code (generally comes with android SDK) or a

mobile device running on Android Operating System. Java 1.6 or above Front End: Android Back End: SQLite

System Requirements

Hardware Requirements Processor Pentium 4 RAM 512 MB or More Hard Disk space: 10 GB or More A Mobile device Running on Android Operating system, having GPS

support and continuous access to internet.

Results and Conclusions

Collect users current location Store the current location in local database Share current location with friends/family in various ways Calculate the distance between two locations Calculate the fare between two locations

• Calculate the distance between two locations

Future considerations

Taxi reservation with the touch of few buttons Passengers can figure the distance and arrival time of

taxi ride before the journey begins. Passengers will be able to pay the fare with their

application Message alert when cab driver arrive at pickup location
