Abstract

Paper deal with a development of application designed for users of the Android operating system. Its main objective is to alert the user to the arrival of the train in a station while the transfers are also taken into account. We use position sensor to determine the exact GPS location. Based on the travelled distance exact approach of speed train to a station is calculated as well as subsequent wake up of user/traveller. Thanks to this fact, application is able to respond to any train delays. Delayed departure of the train from the initial station is also taken into account. The user can choose how many minutes or how many kilometres before the station wants to wake up.
