SafarApp

The Connected Vehicles and Smart Transportation (CVST) project is establishing a flexible and open application platform. It aims to integrate advanced wireless and sensor communications with mobile computing techniques in a cloud-based environment. As one of practical steps, we build a mobile application that interacts with a data management system to advise travel conditions. Our aim is to alleviate transportation issues faced by the commuters and the government by analyzing the data obtained by crowd-sourcing of mobile users.

In our implementation, we use PlayFramework that uses Akka and Netty for fast and lightweight scalability and response, alongside HBase for scalability in the data layer. In addition, we use Apache Cordova in our mobile application for improved portability across different brands of mobile phones.
