CityPulse/Brasov-Bus-Route-Planner

In order to demonstrate how the CityPulse framework can be used to develop applications for smart cities and citizens, we have implemented a context-aware real time Travel Planner using the live data from the city of Brasov, Romania. This scenario aims to provide bus travel-planning solutions, which go beyond the state of the art solutions by allowing users to provide multi dimensional requirements and preferences such as the fastest route, number of buses, minimum number of stops as well as busses with special facilities for people with disabilities. In this way the users receive bus route recommendations based on the current context of the city. In addition to this, Travel Planner continuously monitors the user context and events detected on the planned route. User will be prompted to opt for a different route if there are reported incidents ahead. All the CityPulse framework components are deployed on a back-end server and are accessible via a set of APIs. As a result of that the application developer has only to develop a user-friendly front-end application, which calls the framework APIs. In our case we have developed an Android application.
