ITECH 1100: Exploring Smart Phone Impact on Public Transportation

This report examines the potential impact of smart phones on the public transportation industry. It begins by brainstorming the integration of smart phones and the transportation sector, highlighting how mobile technology advancements have improved time management, payment gateways, and communications. It then discusses the impact of this technology, including user-centric transportation, route tracking, and sharing systems, while also referencing applications in other industries like retail, hospitality, and finance. The report further identifies factors contributing to a positive impact, such as transportation modes, location capabilities, and sensing capabilities, analyzed through Lawrence Lessig’s regulations. Finally, it outlines the events, tasks, decision points, actors, and outcomes associated with smart phone application in fare management, providing a detailed pictorial diagram of the payment flow within the industry. Desklib provides access to similar reports and study tools for students.

Part five – Video plan
The foremost determination of the paper focuses on the potential impact on the smart
phones on the public transport industry. The paper will be having numerous unit discussing
different aspects of the topic.
The first unit of the paper is brain storming, this unit provides the detailed description of
the technology which is the smart phones and the industry where it is applied which is the
transportation industry. The advanced developments in the field of mobile technology has led to
the growth of many industries as they are helpful in managing the different business aspects such
as the management of the time, payment gateways and communications. Public transportations
have seen improvement over the years as new technologies are being integrated in this industry
to maximise the profit and also for the benefit of the consumers who are the main stakeholders of
the project.
The second unit of the paper discusses the impact of the technology in the chosen
industry where impacts such as user centric transportation, tracking the routes of the journey and
application of sharing systems are discussed. The application of the technology in other
industries such as the retail industry, hospitality industry, media industry, finance industry,
healthcare industry, media industry, finance industry and social media industry. The other
technologies used in the chosen business such as the transport drones, Vehicle to infrastructure
communication systems and Vehicle to vehicle communication systems are discussed.
The third segment of the paper highlighted the factors which helps in making a positive
impact on the selected industry which are services provided by the smart phones such as the
transportation mode of smart phones, location capabilities of the smart phones, sensing

capabilities of the smart phones and the integration of accelerometers with smart phones. The
above discussed factors are then analysed on the basis of the Lawrence Lessig’s regulations such
as the architecture, law and market. The transportation mode found the smart phones can be used
by the transportation industries in marketing purposes. The civic laws of the city are maintained
with the help of the speed of the vehicle which can be controlled by the accelerometer
application found in the smart phones. The advanced specification of the smart phones such as its
sensing capabilities and locational capabilities can be useful for the commuters of this industry to
avoid traffic and congestion zones which may fall in their route to the destination.
The fourth unit of the paper discusses the events, tasks, decision points, actors, outcomes
associated with the application of smart phones in transportation industry. This unit provides an
example of a specific unit of this industry which is the fare management. The impact of the smart
phones in fare management has been discussed in the paper with the help of a pictorial diagram.
The diagram states that flow of payment from the commuters to the financial institution of the
management team of the industry.
