Abstract

Mobility computing is growing at a rapid pace. This has generated a rather large interest in mobile services by businesses. Using mobile communication networks such as 3G and WiFi, enterprises can offer users services that are accessed from mobile devices like smartphones. These services provide a mobile ease for the user to access them and become an attraction to users. One area that can offer many mobile services is the area of urban transport. Transport companies of bus, subway and taxi can take advantage of mobile computing to provide services to users and reduce their costs as well as being a form of user engagement with the service due to ease of access and even monitor the transport services. The taxi companies can be automated to receive service requests via mobile devices and make the automated taxi dispatch to serve the customers. This brings to a taxi company rather large reduction in operating costs and can reduce the time of service to users. For taxi users brings a great ease to use the service because it uses the concept of self-service, ie, the user use the service without the intermediary of a central telephone. What was once a remote possibility today with the advent of mobile computing and networking is possible. The high connectivity allows integration of various technologies, forming a large service provider.
