IS 305 Assignment 3

Assignment3: Suppose that a client approached you regarding the development of a “Traffic Information System Mashup”.  Briefly describe how these topics/concepts could/would be used in the development of such a systemThe first step to build Traffic Information System Mashup is to gather user’s requirement from the client. To do that, we need individual interview, group meeting, relevant documents, and so on.  As end-user of this system is everybody in this country we can add several critical requirements to this system. These are as follows. 1.     This system should provide immediate traffic information in real time. => Google Map API and Virtual Earth API could be used to meet this requirement. User can find out current traffic information on the map. 2.     To design specific map they need some tools to manipulate map information. => Open layers could be used to design a specific map to satisfy its purpose. 3.     If the user wants to find specific place and see the street view, system should indicate the place and show the current view. => Google Maps Geocoding enables user to find specific place by entering address and Google Maps StreetView enables user to see the current view of the street.4.     If the user wants to get a driving direction where he/she wants to go, system should provide direction with current traffic information, distance and driving time, and shortest path from departure to destination. => These additional functions should be added to this system using Google Map API and Virtual Earth API. 5.     One suggested function is to provide these services using Navigation or cell phone for 24 hours by 7 days. To do that, this system should send data to the Navigation and cell phone by wireless communication so that user receives these services everywhere at any time.  

Keywords: Geododing, Google Map API, Google Maps StreetView, Traffic Information System
