A Dynamic User Interface for Transit Tracking Applications

This paper presents a dynamic user interface for transit tracking applications. Over the past number of years, there has been a considerable debate among developers between the development of native applications versus web-based application development. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. This paper examines and discusses the Transit Live application that has been created primarily as a web application for enabling rich user interaction through the integration of native device capabilities in a web-based application context. The framework, its interface, and the implications of Transit Live interface changes are presented and examined in this paper through user generated statistics and trends gathered over time.
