Real-time Tracking Application as Social Network

The need of communication between people constitutes a primary pursuit in organized societies. The swift growth of telecommunications in last decades, followed by the generation of products and services that are targeting to cover the telecommunications needs, is revealing. However, the possibilities that technology offers through the traditional networks (phone, sms, etc.) and social networks (chatting by Facebook, etc.), cannot eliminate the frequent communication “noises”. The absence of timely, consistent and effective arrangement for the specific spot of meeting and time, delays and failures, when the point is the physical contact, are only some of them.
The inefficiency of communication could dramatically be improved by an internet application which would illustrate in real time, through an interactive map, the specific traffic of people and would provide dynamic information of the remaining time and distance relative to the meeting point that has been settled. Essentially, the application will be a social network with full operations of interactions between the users. Besides the effective meeting between the users, the application should collect data of movement of every user in order to store his history that will be analyzed for the improvement of his preferences.
The current thesis is the development of an innovative application that will serve a human need. In the thesis we explain how this need has been identified and how it could be covered by the application that has been developed. After deep search, we have concluded that the current range of technologies and services cannot reach the potentials and the functions of our app. Meantime, many similar preexisted applications and services have been examined in order to locate and verify their weaknesses and shortcomings, so that our new product would be simple and friendly and of course effective and efficient. Through the presentation of the devolved application we explain all the benefits while we thoroughly describe the application design and our desirable goal. The definition of our requirements as well as the use of the proper technology for the flawless operation and support of our application is based on the aforementioned analysis. Next, we present the main and the secondary functionality of our applications`. We include images that demonstrate how the application can be used in order to illustrate in a better way the range of its potential. Finally, we evaluate the efficiency of the application and the provided services and we examine possible improvements and updates for its enhancement.
