Using mobile applications to evaluate quality of road networks and transport mobility

摘要

The paper studies the possibility of using mobile apps for quality control of the urban environment, road networks and transport servicing of the population. We analyze Russian and foreign technical solutions and specify the set of functional user features of the developed application. Based on an online survey in Google Forms, we determine the demand for the application along with the preferable set of functions. iOS is selected as an operational system to run the mobile app. To develop the app based on the iOS platform, Clean Swift architecture is chosen. Marker criteria are developed and selected to evaluate the quality of the urban environment and road networks. The Scrum model is chosen as a life cycle model. The app is developed and tested in the X-Code environment with Swift. The data analysis module is written in Python_3. The app is tested in the TestFlight environment. Guidelines for further development of the developed tools within intelligent transport systems and Smart City are identified.
