San Diego: bus tracking solution for Cisco Live

Within the Cisco Live that took place in San Diego in June, the aim of the Exprivia | Italtel solution was to enrich the official Cisco Events mobile app in order to give the attendants a new feature, which allows knowing dedicated shuttle buses waiting times and travel times.

The solution components are:

• 45 buses equipped with Cisco products Router IR-829 or GPS Logger
• Cisco Kinetic
• bus positioning system developed by Exprivia | Italtel: web app, which calculates the buses’ travel time and make this data available to the Cisco official app

The user experience can be summarized as follows:

• The attendee starts the Cisco event app
• He goes to the section dedicated to the shuttles
• He inserts his destination and picks-up location
• He finds out the position of the first shuttle on the map with the estimated waiting time
• He sees the next bus waiting time
