“…ere are also increasingly active services that provide alarms and notifications to users as they approach set-up points or locations. In Malaysia, bus notifications using GPS information from user smart devices and geofence [10] and real-time bus location tracking applications using RFID have been proposed [11]. In Korea, a public transportation disembarking notification service was developed and provided in 2012 with Seoul city bus and subway disembarking notification applications using operating time information and GPS information on city buses.…”

Currently, many people enjoy videos and music content through their smart devices while using public transportation. However, because passengers focus so much on content on their smart devices, they sometimes forget to disembark and miss their destination stations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an application that can notify users via smart devices when they approach the drop-off point in public transportation using an inaudible high frequency. Inaudible frequency signals are generated with announcements from speakers installed on subways and city buses. Smart devices receive and analyze the signals through their built-in microphones and notify users when they reach the drop-off point. We tested destination notifications with the proposed system and 10 smart devices to evaluate its performance. According to the test results, the proposed system showed 99.4% accuracy on subways and 99.2% accuracy on city buses. Moreover, we compared these results to those using only subway app in subways, and our proposed system achieved far better outcomes. Thus, the proposed system could be a useful technology for notifying smart device users when to get off public transport, and it will become an innovative technology for global public transportation by informing users of their desired stations using speakers.

“…Geofencing is a location-based technology that works by surrounding a specific geographical area with a virtual fence from the center of its location points by setting a latitude, longitude, and radius. This technology provides device detection when crossing the boundaries of the surrounded geographical area, which can help to trigger the device’s information and can also alert its user when crossing the area’s virtual fence [ 21 ]. The Application Programming Interface (API) of geofencing uses the device’s sensors to monitor its movement, such as tilting, entering or exiting the area, and whether it is still or moving (by foot or a vehicle).…”

Recently, the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus caused a major health crisis by affecting masses around the world. The virus, which is known to be highly contagious, has forced the research community and governments to fight the disease and take prompt actions by applying various strategies to keep the numbers under control. These strategies range from imposing strict social distancing measures, isolating infected cases, and enforcing either a partial or a full lockdown, to mathematical modeling and contact-tracing applications. In this work, we survey the current contact-tracing apps and organize them based on underlying technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, geofencing, and Quick Response (QR) codes. We compare the main features of 22 existing applications and highlight each of the pros and cons associated with these different technologies.
