In the Philippines, Jeepney, commonly referred as jeep, is the most common form of public transportation. Due to its low cost, Filipino masses are into riding one, be it students going to school, professionals on their way to work or just a trip from home to malls. With this, the experience of riding one does not always go smoothly. It is often crowded that sometimes, passengers tend to fight over the space left.

With the use of this application, passengers would not have to wait, without any guarantee on whether a Jeepney would be available. The access for the Jeepney would be much easier because GPS tracking system will be implemented in order to see the nearest Jeepney and if there are Jeepneys in their vicinity. The system is highly advantageous for the passengers as they could save their time that is usually used in waiting. Higher level of security will also be available through the use of GPS. Moreover, all of the needed identification about the driver and the vehicle will be stored in the database. Because the availability of the Wi-Fi is needed, the researchers have worked on how to access the application without the use or presence of the …show more content…
Grab and Uber use GPS Technology. Incorporating this, the system used offline GPS for the benefit of the users who do not have the access on the internet. As stated in the article “How Well Do Google Maps Work Offline? Absolutely Flawlessly,” maps, destination searches, and turn-by-turn directions will be available offline, using the phone’s built-in GPS chip rather than its cell antenna. The feature is currently limited to Android, but iOS is on the process, and it only works for road. But, it’s a big step towards enabling backcountry users and world travelers to rely on the digital guides no matter where they're going. (Frank, 2015) GPS or Global Positioning System tracking is a method of working out exactly where something is. It may be placed in a vehicle, on a cell phone, or on special GPS devices, which can either be a fixed or portable unit (Bertagna, P, 2010). Vehicle tracking systems use a combination of technologies to keep real-time tabs on the position of a vehicle or to construct a history of where a vehicle has been. These systems are used in a variety of industries, and they also a key part of most stolen vehicle recovery strategies. Most vehicle tracking systems use GPS technology, and some also make use of cellular or radio transmitters. (Laukkonen, 2016). The main objective of this research is to design and create an Android Application that
