Abstract

The objective of this paper is to develop a train tracking system using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Android platform 2.2 and Google API are used as the development environment. The system consists of applications for employees and applications for passengers. The applications for employees are used to track the trains using mobile phones to retrieve the current position every minute and to send the data to the Web server. The current train position is displayed on a Google Map. The Web application is used to manage the system. The applications for passengers display the status of the trains on mobile devices or Web browsers. The information displayed consists of the train schedule, time of arrival, delay time, average speed, and estimated time of arrival. In this report I will discuss the implementation of a push notification on a live train tracking application, that serves the purpose of Deshi IT also its design, testing and benefits it provides.
