This projects aims to provide an information system to search for the important address in Padang. The important address in Padang still use the phone book (yellow  pages),  but  not  everyone can  use and  have it.  In  the  search  for  the important address in Padang, not everyone has a mobile phone that can access the internet and if using a mobile phone, it will need the charge. As well as in the search for important addresses in Padang, not everyone can call the operator, and call the operator also takes the charge. Because of that problem, this application created with no internet service, so it does not cost money. This mobile application system can provide information such as text display with detailed  address  and  phone  numbers  and  addresses  an  important  route  in Padang. The starting address point is from Padang’s Market because a lot of public transport with the important addresses major roads in Padang is passing along this way. The mobile application comes with a list of important address like Mosques, Hospitals, Hotels, Universities and Government Offices which contain such as info address, phone number and the address route to search the important address for the application’s user. This is an implementation on mobile phone based on java language programming with jar extension file.   Keywords : Information Systems, Mobile Application, Addresses, Java .

Many cities in developing countries are facing challenges of providing quality public transport facilities to the public. The demand-responsive transport (DRT) initiatives in some cities have helped in providing transportation alternatives to the travelers, and in filling the gap between demand and supply. Recently introduced DRT initiatives in Lahore included the mobile app-based Airlift and Swvl bus services. This article is aimed at evaluating the travelers’ attitudes toward mobile application (app)–based DRT services in Lahore with the help of a questionnaire survey. A questionnaire was designed consisting of travelers’ personal and travel information and their perceptions on selected attributes of Airlift and Swvl bus services. A total of 440 samples were collected through interviews. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed three factors of service quality, that is, Accessibility and Scheduling Attributes (ASA), Instrumental Attributes (IA), and Service Attraction Attributes (SAA). The results of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) showed that the ASA, IA, and SAA are significant determinants of travelers’ attitudes toward the existence of Airlift and Swvl bus services in Lahore. These factors have strong correlations with travelers’ intentions to use Airlift and Swvl services in the future. The waiting time at a stop, travelers’ income, vehicle ownership, trip purpose, and profession are also significant in determining the travelers’ attitudes and preferences with app-based public transport services. These findings would be helpful for the service providers and transport planners for making appropriate policies to improve the quality of these services.

Taipei Metro, since its inception in 1996, has become the most important public transport option for commuters and travelers in the metropolitan Taipei area, delivering over two million daily rides. Nevertheless, the interior environment of Taipei Metro has a reputation for being disorienting, especially to the infrequent passengers. By incorporating the methods of behavioral mapping and visibility analysis, this study argues that the occurrence of disorientation is highly dependent on visual properties of Taipei Metro’s interior layout. Specifically, the number of decision-making stops and the visibility conditions of stairs and escalators are found to be particularly influential. To enhance the passengers’ wayfinding experience, a mobile application comprised of two components is proposed. The Route Planner is to advise the passengers to avoid the areas that cause disorientation, while the Navigator, by providing the panoramic views of certain locations, can help the passengers reach their destinations more easily.

The purpose of this research is to construct an application prototype from the study of public transport problems in the local communities of Thailand. There are three main goals for research to be successful: (1) To study problems and situations in which communities are affected by public transport. (2) To design and standardize the management of problems and situations in which the community is affected by public transport. (3) To construct a public transport application prototype for local communities of Thailand. Population and sampling were scoped from the public transport service provider in Phayao Province, Thailand. The prototype was constructed with an Android Mobile Application. The results of the study showed that the developed application prototypes showed a high level of satisfaction (total means is equal to 3.95, S.D. is equal to 0.73) with the design and implementation of the prototype. In the future, the researcher will bring the application to the test and deployment.

Logical model of a portal for smart mobile application for public transport schedules on the base of three classes Model/View/Controller (MVC) has been described in this article. This concept based on design templates, leads to greater flexibility and possibility for repeated use in various applications.

This paper proposes the use of motivational features in mobile applications to support adolescents’ education in sustainable travel urban behavior, so that they become more mindful of their environmental impact. To this effect, existing persuasive strategies are adopted, implemented, and integrated into six simulated screens of a prospective mobile application named ESTA, designed for this purpose through a user-centered design process. These screens are then assessed by secondary education pupils, the outcome of which is analyzed and presented in detail. The analysis takes into consideration the possibility for the daily use of ESTA in order for the adolescents to foster an eco-friendly and healthy transit attitude and make more sustainable mobility choices that will follow them throughout their life. The potential effectiveness of ESTA is demonstrated via two use cases: the “Daily Commuting” case is addressed towards adolescents who want to move within their area of residence or neighborhood following their daily routine and activities, while the “Weekend Entertainment” is addressed towards adolescents who want to move using the available public transport modes, encouraging them to adopt greener weekend travel habits.

A fundamental challenge for rapidly growing cities of nowadays is to offer public transport services to fulfill the increasing demands for mobility. In our country, a widely adaptable and convenient mode of public transport is by bus. The buses in the running and bus arrival time are considered as the essential data for almost every open transport travelers. Excessively longer waiting periods at bus stations frequently deter travelers and the non-availability of information about the buses running makes them reluctant to take buses. So to make passengers more informative, we present a system for the manifestation of the on-road buses and its’ arrival time based upon the bus passengers’ participatory detecting. The bus passengers’ encompassing environmental framework is successfully gathered with the help of commodity mobile phones and employed to present the bus traveling pathways and to reckon the estimated time of arrival of the bus at several bus stations through the mobile application. The suggested framework entirely depends upon the cooperative attempt of the partaking users and the driver in the designated route, therefore it can be facilely adopted to fortify bus accommodation framework excluding the demanding assistance through the specific bus operating organizations. We develop an archetype system with variants of Android-predicated mobile phones. The suggested framework is usually more accessible and energy cordial.
