🌍 Realtime Bus Tracking

📆 Period: 2019 🏢 Context: Feature developed as part of a larger digital signage system in the public transport domain. 🎯 Goal: Develop a mobile feature to track a bus in real-time during its route, display its current location on a map, and provide upcoming stop information to passengers.

🧱 Architecture:

Platform: Android (native app)
Device: Embedded minicomputer running Android OS with integrated GPS module
Data source: GPS coordinates provided by proprietary onboard hardware
Key features:
- Download and management of predefined route tracks
- Live map display of the current bus position
- Visualization of upcoming bus stops along the route

🚀 My Role:

Integrated with proprietary hardware to receive live GPS data
Built the logic to download and render route tracks on the map
Implemented real-time camera-follow behavior on the bus marker
Created a route simulator to test the movement without live GPS input
Managed the logic to display future stops dynamically

💡 Key Challenges Solved:

Ensured smooth sync between GPS data and map navigation
Built a movement simulator to test edge cases and improve UX
Optimized performance for limited-resource embedded Android systems

🧰 Technologies: Android SDK · Google Maps / OpenStreetMap · Kotlin/Java · Custom GPS integration · JSON/REST
