Wants to integrate BusTUC and real-time info i the Answers.

Master Thesis Task Description:

The main work will be to enhance the functionality of the Oracle answers of the BusTUC system,to include support for additional information deemed useful by potential users.For the time being the BusTUC system has only support to display the scheduled departure time of buses.The people would also need to know the estimated departure time of buses so that they can save their valuable time to wait outside at the bus stops.This project aims to integrate the real-time estimate and the scheduled departure time of buses. The real-time estimates could be presented in the following way:

"Bus 5 passes Kongens gate K2 at 11.40 (+2 min late)."

The application will be tested on at least 25 to 30 real users in order to measure its impact on travelers’ satisfaction. The test will include questions about some scenarios including use of the application, and final questions about whether the participants want to use such an application in the future.The result shall be compared to BusTUC as it was before the work,and the significance of the work shall be evaluated.

Some existing work to build on can be found here

Goal: Conduct a user survey to gather traveling people's opinion of the bus today, and gather
information from research already conducted to create a mobile application that answers
to the information gathered.

Notes:

It will use the BusTUC system, which is written in the logical programming language Sicstus Prolog.

Meeting 12/2-15

Questions:

  1. What is sent from the PHP front page to the Prolog BusTUC server?
  2. What is sent back from the server to the front page?
  3. How does Jetty connect the clients (PHP, Android, ...) with the server?`
  4. How do I get the web-service url for the real-time?
    1. Ask Ole Kristian if you can use their password and urls, until you get an answer from atb@atb.no
    2. Runes contact at AtB is Torfinn Utne. He can tell you who to ask for access (Maybe Knut Ole Aas, Fredrik Søfteland, Ingar Børre Sandvik, ...)
