“ANDROID APP FARE METER WITH TRAFFIC RE-ROUTING SCHEME FOR
TRICYCLE IN ANGELES CITY”
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In the Philippines, there are numerous forms of public transportation that normal
commuters can use on a daily basis. These range from small type vehicles to the larger types that
can accommodate a greater amount of people at a particular time. All around the country, these
modes of transportation are frequently seen along roads, and they serve as the primary form of
The demand for mobility in different parts of the world is growing at a very rapid rate. The
growing transport demand is borne out of the necessity for people to meet social and economic
needs (AEI 2014). Arising from the increasing urbanization, population and industrial
development; the demand for public transport is becoming inevitably high particularly where many
household are constrained from owning private automobiles. However, the conventional public
transportation cannot meet the growing demand of the commuters resulting in the emergence of
informal public transport globally (McCornmick, Mitullah, Chitere, Oreo & Omneh 2018)
Aside from jeepneys, the second most popular means of transportation here in the Philippines are
the tricycles, based on the T.V. documentary of I JUANDER at the year of 2017 tricycle is the
most number one public vehicles in the whole country with the number of more than four million,

one of our former instructor Mr. Batac explained his personal experience about travelling the trike,
he said by using this transportation can help the person to arrive on a specific destination in an
easy way and it will bring you to every desired place, not like the jeepney because jeepney have a
fixed route, and for him time play a very important role in our daily lives attending on time is one

suddenly he realized that driver took advantage him, but aside of him many people experiencing
This research project is focusing on developing an ANDROID APP FARE METER WITH
TRAFFIC RE-ROUTING SCHEME to help the passenger and tricycle driver inform and practice
about the effectiveness of traffic regulation and rules listed on the City Ordinance #338, and

Many complain receive that the drivers charge double or even triple the amount stipulated
in the fare matrix. Trike drivers on the other hand complain that the amount is not enough citing

The main objective of the study aim is to Develop an ANDROID APP FARE METER
WITH TRAFFIC RE-ROUTING SCHEME that serve as a guide to the commuters and tricycle
driver about the standardization and regulation of transpo flat rates of the public three wheeled
vehicles in the City of Angeles, to insure that the riding public are being charged accurately and
fairly.

3. To develop an android application that can measure the specific charges amount based
on the converted kilometer starting from the beginning point until too rich to the
destination point

Methodology refers to how the research was done and its logical sequence, the main focus of this
study was the different cases or violations when it comes on traffic rules and regulation under the

experiences unfair treatment of the driver, therefore the research approach was descriptive
quantitative.
Research Design
Research can be defined in simple terms as any systematic study to inquire any aspect with
an in-depth investigation to gain new knowledge. It further denotes to answer a question or to find
out a solution to a problem with new techniques or procedures to be adopted with original thinking
process. Further it seeks to find explanation to unexplained concepts, to clarify the doubtful facts

This means a researcher need to adopt a good hypothesis to guide the researcher in a good

attempts to collect quantifiable information to be used for statistical analysis of the population
sample. It is a popular market research tool that allows to collect and describe the nature of the
demographic segment.
Using a cross-sectional research under the survey research the researcher collects
information from a sample drawn from a population, by collecting data at one point at a time.
The researchers will use an Agile Development Method for their System
Development Methodology. The Agile Method divides a task into small-length iterations that have
the same interval size and distance making the transition between iterations much smoother with
much higher pace, Agile is based on the “iterative enhancement”, each iteration in the Agile

5. Release – Before the application release on the environment the group begin to test the
code against the requirements to make sure the product is actually solving all of the
error and bug code and meet the system needs. This phase includes system testing, and
acceptance testing.
6. Track and Monitor – Deliver the product to customers. Once customers start using
the product, they may run into new problems that the project team will need to address
in future iterations.
