The goal of this application is to provide a solution to the problem highlighted in http://www.rhok.org/problems/improving-public-transportation-reliability-encourage-people-reduce-their-carbon-footprint.

The code base is mainly composed of two parts: PeerTrackerClient : HTML 5/Javascript to enable a completely platform agnostic front end.

PeerTrackerServer : Running on a Lampp backend. Providing the SMS service using Twilio service which you will need to download from their website to able to support the sms gateway. The sms number to be used will also depend on your set up once you have the Twilio service installed.

Issues:

  1. Scrapping data off MARTA for the proof of concept. (python script - to be updated)
  2. Twilio adds their own meta tag to all sms exchange which results in a lesser character count for application use.
  3. HTML 5/JQuery runs into issues where we'd need to refresh the page to retreive the dataset. Looking into it.
