An app to improve public transportation conditions


Research app development for Ph.D. Students from EPFL. The task was to develop an application to track the usage parameters of the Lausanne subway system. Besides the special usage data, like tracking the movement of the users both before and after the metro trip, also short questionnaires popped-up to the users, while on-board the metro. The key challenges were to get the exact location of the users also while using the metro. The app has been used by the Lausanne citizens who wanted to improve their public transportation conditions. The app helped to gather valuable data, which will be used to improve the Lausanne public transportation.
