- get info from Waze, train operator, bus operator, roadworks, ..
- let users make a profile with (if they want): location of their home, work, routes, when en how they travel
- match mobility events with the user profiles
- inform users through social media if something could potentially influence their journey (roadworks, train / bus delay, accident, traffic jam, ..)
- if possible, collect feedback from users Project sheet - Dutch
A project was started with the IT faculty of Ghent University in 2015. Three groups of students built the back-end and large chunks of the front-end of a working notification tool for personzalized messages regarding mobility for the people of Ghent.
All the source code from group 2 be found in this repository and can be used freely, please mention the names of the authors when further elaborating on the code as they are mentioned below. The city of Ghent is very thankful towards these enthusiast en competent engineers for the great work!
