Abstract
Urban growth in developed countries has made highly difficult the logistics of public transport in many cities. This issue is a consequence of the increase in the number of public transport routes, which has caused that citizens do not know important information on such routes. Especially, data about stops, terminals, timetables, paths and which are the easily reachable places for each single route. On the other hand, smartphones have become very popular in the last lustra. This kind of device has high-end services such as cameras, high-tech sensors and Global-Positioning-System (GPS) navigation, to mention only a few. Thus, since mobile phones are useful and practically ubiquitous, they should be applied to collective-transport logistics, giving the edge to citizens in an economic manner. Ergo, to solve the aforementioned problem, we propose here an approach based on using technology connected to mobile phones, the GPS and the Internet.
