Konzeption und Implementierung einer Verkehrsinformationsapplikation für Smartphones am Beispiel des iPhones

Abstract

This master thesis is about a mobile application which is designed and implemented to ensure a positive user experience. It presents basic considerations in relation to the user experience, Smartphones, mobile phone positioning, Floating Car Data (FCD) and cross-platform development. The iPhone implementation is based on the crossplatform framework Titanium supplied by Appcelerator, to enable the application to be easily ported to Android in the future. The app provides a visualisation of the traffic situation, optimized routing from the starting point to the destination with an optional intermediate point, route monitoring and offline maps of Berlin. Additionally, the current position of the mobile phone is determined by GPS, the mobile phone network or a Wi-Fi network.
