Abstract


User Information Systems of public transport are intended to provide information to passengers and support their decisions. Most systems for this purpose are using static information or aided by GPS transmitters installed in vehicles. The citizens can support the improvement of public service and this can be done, for example, through social networks. This paper presents the UbibusRoute, a mobile system that considers dynamic traffic contextual information from social networks and presents information about routes for users, using the Google Maps API as a source of geolocation and the Twitter API as a provider of information by citizens.

Keywords: UbibusRoute, System, Bus Routes, Social media
