CASE DESCRIPTION

Detailed Description

The engineering project focuses on utilizing the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to

develop an efficient route planning system in Catbalogan City. The system aims to provide

accurate and optimized navigation routes for various modes of transportation, including cars,

pedicab, multicab, tricycle, motorcycle, other public transport, and pedestrians. It outlines a

comprehensive approach to developing a navigational system or application. By integrating

essential technical specifications like GPS coordinates, mapping data, and real-time traffic

information, the system aims to provide reliable and effective route plans.

Additionally, the design considerations prioritize user experience by emphasizing user-friendly

interfaces and compatibility with mobile devices. The system seeks to seamlessly integrate with

existing transportation infrastructure, ensuring its adaptability and accessibility within the

broader transportation network. Overall, the approach balances technological robustness with

user-centric design to deliver an efficient and user-friendly navigation solution. Operational

parameters involve the continuous updating of route data based on changing traffic conditions

and user feedback to maintain optimal route efficiency.

On the other hand, the survey that will be conducted aims to develop a comprehensive analysis

study of Catbalogan City's transport system. It involves gathering data and insights from

residents, commuters, and stakeholders to assess the current state of transportation

infrastructure, identify key challenges, and propose potential solutions for improvement. The

survey will cover various aspects of the transport system, including modes of transportation
(e.g., road networks, public transit, walking and cycling paths), accessibility to key destinations

(e.g., commercial areas, educational institutions, healthcare facilities), traffic flow patterns,

safety concerns, and overall satisfaction levels. It will employ a mix of quantitative and

qualitative methods, including questionnaires through google forms and observational studies,

to gather both numerical data and anecdotal feedback from participants.

Contextual Information

Catbalogan City, located in the Philippines, serves as the project location. Stakeholders include

local government authorities, transportation agencies, commuters, and businesses reliant on

efficient transportation networks.

The project timeline spans six months, with phases for development, testing, and

implementation. The budget is allocated for software development, hardware procurement,

data acquisition, and operational costs. Regulatory factors include compliance with

transportation laws and standards, while environmental considerations involve minimizing

carbon emissions through route optimization and reducing traffic congestion.
