3. Abstract
 This is an Android based application which requires a mobile
phone with GPS support and continuous access to internet.
Two main features
1. Track user current location and share it with friends/family
2. Calculate the cab fare between two locations

4. What is Location tracking?

5. What is Location tracking?
 Location Tracking refers to attaining of current position
stationary or moving
 Location is tracked via
- multilateration of radio signals between (several) radio
towers of the network and the phone
- Simply via GPS

6. Android
 A Linux based OS design for touch screen mobile
devices
 Initially developed by Android Inc, whom Google financially
backed and later purchased in 2005
 large community of developers writing applications.
 Advantages
 Huge Android application market
 Fast growing market
 Easy to handle
 Supports GPS

7. What is GPS?
GPS- Global Positioning System
Space-based satellite
navigation system that provides
location and time information in all
weather, anywhere on or near the
Earth
Used widely in mobile phones
today.

8. Literature Survey
 Location-based Service(LBS)
 Locating Methods
 Control pane locating
 GSM Localization
 Other approaches

9. Proposed System
• Collect user location using GPS/Mobile Network
• Store location to the local server
• Share the current location with friends/family
• Calculate the distance between 2 locations
• Calculate the fare of Taxi/Auto Rickshaw

10. Working of proposed system
 Collecting Users current location
Our system collect current location of the user
1. Using GPS (Global Positioning System).
2. Using Network Provider.
– the location provided by GPS satellites is more accurate than that
provided by the network provider

11. Collecting User current location

12. Location sharing
• Sharing Location with contacts:
Suppose user A and user B are in phone contacts of each
other. The strategies to be implemented for sharing locations
are:
- During a phone call
- Via SMS
- Manual location sharing

13. Calculating Cab fare

14. System Requirements
 Software Requirements
 Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo J2EE)
 Android SDK.
 Emulator to test the code (generally comes with android SDK) or a
mobile device running on Android Operating System.
 Java 1.6 or above
 Front End: Android
 Back End: SQLite

15. System Requirements
 Hardware Requirements
 Processor Pentium 4
 RAM 512 MB or More
 Hard Disk space: 10 GB or More
 A Mobile device Running on Android Operating system, having GPS
support and continuous access to internet.

16. Results and Conclusions
 Collect users current location
 Store the current location in local database
 Share current location with friends/family in various ways
 Calculate the distance between two locations
 Calculate the fare between two locations
• Calculate the distance between two locations

17. Future considerations
 Taxi reservation with the touch of few buttons
 Passengers can figure the distance and arrival time of
taxi ride before the journey begins.
 Passengers will be able to pay the fare with their
application
 Message alert when cab driver arrive at pickup location
