Wenn Sie hier schon einmal eine Bus-App genutzt haben und zusehen mussten, wie Ihr Bus beiläufig durch Syrien schipperte oder ganz verschwand – ja, das ist das Problem, das wir angegangen sind.
Die GPS-Probleme sind nicht wirklich die Schuld des Betreibers – es kommt zu erheblichen Signalverzerrungen und manchmal kommt es aufgrund von Serviceproblemen zu einem Verlust des GPS-Signals. Unsere KI-Lösung sagt anhand historischer Busstandortdaten, Stauinformationen, Wetter, Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit, Höhendaten und Crowdsourcing-Eingaben von Fahrgästen voraus, wo sich der Bus tatsächlich befindet, wenn das GPS ausfällt.
Was uns überraschte: Das Verkehrsministerium und die Betreiber waren wirklich begeistert. Sie beschäftigen sich täglich mit diesem Problem und boten uns an, uns bei der Integration in tatsächliche Systeme zu helfen. Es kann also sein, dass dies nicht nur eine Hackathon-Demo bleibt.
Unser Team ist eine bunte Mischung – vier von uns sind russische Entwickler, die hierher gezogen sind, und wir hatten Marina, eine Stadtarchitektin, tägliche Busfahrerin und die Fahrrad-Bürgermeisterin von Nikosia. Was ich sagen möchte ist, dass Zypern uns aufgenommen hat. Gutes Wetter, tolle Menschen, ein Ort, an dem wir Leben und Geschäfte aufbauen konnten. An etwas zu arbeiten, das das tägliche Pendeln für alle hier etwas weniger lästig machen könnte, scheint das Mindeste zu sein, was wir tun können.

Aber ich wollte es hier zuerst mitteilen – die Busbeschwerden dieses Subreddits waren ironischerweise Teil der Motivation.

bruh this is whats considered amazing in cyprus? basic patches?
I commend you for your hard work and success, however I hate to say it, the reason we have spoofing and gps issues is because our government bows to war criminals.
Congratulations!!! We need more people like you guys!!
Congratulations on the win!
>Our team is a mix – 4 of us are Russian devs who relocated here, and we had Marina, an urban architect, daily bus rider, and the Bicycle Mayor of Nicosia. What I want to say is that Cyprus took us in. Good weather, great people, a place where we could build lives and businesses. Working on something that could make daily commutes a bit less annoying for everyone here feels like the least we can do.
That’s incredibly sweet and a very great mindset! I’m very happy to see locals and foreigners working together for the better of our country, a country we all share in all sorts of ways!
Will your solution be implemented somewhere, maybe in the official Cyprus motion bus app, or google maps public transit? Or is this more of a „proof of concept“ type of thing? Nonetheless, great work!
Bravo to everyone! These kinds of collaboration and problem solving activities are exactly what Cyprus needs.
Any improvement to the Pame bus transport app should be welcomed IMO.
I drive everywhere, but on occasion I’ve taken my kid out on the bus from our village into Larnaca, and it’s absolutely terrible to say the least.
Only this Saturday the app was telling me the bus stop we usually use was no longer picking up our route and that the next bus was Sunday.
Previously I’d taken her into Larnaca specifically to attend a public awareness event by Larnaca Public Transport. They didn’t seem impressed by my comments that „don’t tell me the name of the road, tell me where to walk to my local stop“ – I don’t want to be looking up road names just to try and make my way there. Also, live tracking of the buses I stumbled on thanks to comments on Reddit, but that should be standard.
My favourite jewel though was planning to take the return journey, and out of curiosity I chose where I lived on Pame. It literally told me to get off the bus roughly a 30 minute walk from where I live, even though I know full well the bus almost runs to my door.
I can cope with this. But people wouldn’t have to, and heaven help any tourists who decide to set foot on public transport.
Just throwing this out there, but is there not a way to have an app on the drivers phones map the WiFi signals they’re driving past and have these report these back over 5G? Only operates when the driver is working (or can this be built into the existing tracking infrastructure)?
WiFi SSIDs are relatively static, and whilst a few signals don’t give a definitive location, a larger collection based on signal name and strength should be workable (at least in my head). No more issue with GPS dropout.
