A software application designed to allow users to track the real-time location of transportation services. This functionality often extends to providing estimated arrival times and driver information. For instance, a student using a university shuttle service might employ this type of application to ascertain the shuttle’s current position on its route.
The proliferation of these applications stems from a desire for increased convenience and predictability in transportation. Such technology enhances the rider experience by minimizing wait times and reducing uncertainty. Its development traces back to early GPS tracking systems, evolving with advancements in mobile technology and data processing capabilities.
