HereItIs

Install the application to see the real-time map on the map of Iasi (in the other big cities of the country we are looking for collaborators to promote it, at the moment we can use only the number of visible buses / trams will be small because they do not have too many people installed the app, we are talking about the cities: Alba, Arad, Brasov, Bucharest, Cluj, Constanta, Craiova, Iasi, Oradea, Ploiesti, Sibiu, Timisoara, soon Bacau).

The principle of operation is based on the input of the passenger community, each user having the opportunity to see the information about the means of public transport, but at the same time it is our task to tell everyone about the means of transport we are traveling with. In this way, the application does not depend on any kind of special hardware (GPS on buses or public transport servers, etc.), using a useful way what we all have today (smartphone ).

In order to use the application, no authentication is required, it is free, at the moment there are no advertisements to bother, the only condition to use the application is to be solidary with each other and to "sharpen" information about the location of the buses.

From a technical point of view, our project is backed by Google's Firebase platform, 2 mobile applications (Android and IOS) and a Web application.

The interface of the application consists of a map of our city, a circle of 1km, a search component and a button.
Basically, we load only public transport on a map of a distance of 1km from my current location, of course if we want to see and beyond that distance we can use the "Search" component, all the means of public transport selected by that the component becomes visible on the map, not distant from my location. We can define a limited number currently on the 2 "favorite" route, they will be visible on the map on the entire city surface when loading the application.
To find the location of a means of transport, we have 2 cases:
1. If the bus / tram with which I intend to leave has not yet been sharpened by someone else we map, press the green button -> "I left," then select the desired route and the direction of travel by a left or right slide from the list displayed.
2. If the bus has already been shuffled, click on it and press "I left"

The application validates and does not allow information to be shredded unless the user is on the route of the respective means of transport.
When we find the location of a means of transport with the "I'm gone" option, the application starts to recurrent the current user's location, with the "I've seen" feature giving you the application to take my location once.
Once the location of a bus is shaken, the user does not necessarily have to stay with the application turned on, he can close the phone screen or switch to any other application he wants (of course, provided the HereItIs application is kept in the background).

Application Requires the following access rights:
- Internet connection to receive live data on public transport
- Access to the current location (both when the application is open and when it's in the background)
- DeviceId (imei), as we say we do not have authentication but we need something to identify the signals from the same device
- Local storage to save some minimal information like: favorite city name and favorite routes.
