Proceedings of the 18th Panhellenic Conference on Informatics, 2014•dl.acm.orgNowadays there is a multitude of mobile and tablet applications being developed in order to
facilitate or disrupt every day tasks. Many of these are location based. A technique to serve
in providing information and content is crowdsourcing. This technique is based on the public
contributing information or resources giving them the opportunity to become both service
providers and recipients at the same time. Taking into account the above and after observing

Nowadays there is a multitude of mobile and tablet applications being developed in order to facilitate or disrupt every day tasks. Many of these are location based. A technique to serve in providing information and content is crowdsourcing. This technique is based on the public contributing information or resources giving them the opportunity to become both service providers and recipients at the same time.
Taking into account the above and after observing passengers using the public transport system, we came to the conclusion that it would be useful to be able to determine which transport medium (i.e which bus line out of a number running concurrently) is nearer at any given moment. This information allows for better decision making and choice of transportation.
For this we propose the development of an application to show the position of a selected transport vehicle. The position will be calculated based on geo-tracking provided by passengers boarded on a vehicle. This will allow for real time information to the application users in order to be able to determine their optimal route.
