Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil para compartir vehículos particulares entre personas en Quito.

Abstract

This thesis project provides an alternative of mobility through the practice of carpooling within the same social group with the aim of reducing vehicular chaos and caring for the environment in the city of Quito.

The mobile application gives drivers the opportunity to make transport routes available where they can detail information such as: prices, schedules, available seats, and destinations, thus giving passengers the opportunity to access the published routes where they can contact the driver through communication channels, report incidents and assess the driver.

The web application allows administrators to manage information from routes, users and incident reports that have been recorded by drivers or passengers in the mobile application.

This project has been developed under the agile XP methodology, this methodology provided the facility to develop the project with speed and flexibility to the improvements found in the development, artifacts of the methodology have been used that benefit control and planning, allowing to successfully meet objectives raised by each iteration.

To conclude, functionality and usability tests were carried out using surveys to a group of participants who have shown excellent results and satisfaction when interacting with the mobile and web application developed.
