Serviço para localização em tempo real do transporte público coletivo

Abstract

Public transportation is one of the major players responsible for guaranteeing the urban population the right to come and go. The bus routes and itineraries are usually long, as well as, naturally, unforeseen events can occur during the trip, for instance, accidents on the way. Such issues make the scheduled lines inaccurate, which causes some passengers delay or a long time waiting at the boarding platform. Therefore, this work aims the implementation of a service that provides a real-time location of the public transportation bus in the city of Campo Mourão. For the services development, a distributed system has been implemented, which receives messages from set trackers, process them and also it stores and provides the information contained in the message in a RESTful API. The test results show that the service would satisfactorily meet the demand of a city the size of Campo Mourão where the fleet is no more than 50 vehicles.
