BahaBa: A Route Generator System for Mobile Devices

摘要

The Philippines is considered to be one of the world's most disaster prone countries. Since the use of mobile devices continues to grow, many generated applications for mobile devices that will aid during disaster. While most of the people residing in the urban areas are mostly smartphone users, people who are living in the rural areas are still using low-cost phones. In order to equally provide information that will be needed on or during disaster, we created BahaBa a SMS-based route generation system targeted for mobile devices. The system accepts a SMS and generates a template-based response to the sender, containing instructions on the shortest path to the nearest safe place in a community.
