What Services will the Project Produce ?

  1. An Intelligent Sensor-based service for Commuters. Upon arrival at the bus stop,
    commuters receive an SMS indicating what time their bus will arrive. The bus driver will receive a message indicating that people are waiting to board at this bus stop. Commuters will receive an SMS when on the bus announcing they have arrived at their chosen destination. At the bus stop, it will also be possible for commuters to use the intelligent mobile sensor service to formulate an optimal travel plan.
  2. A web-based “What’s on Guide” which acts as a central repository to market and promote a regions activities. This will facilitate citizen’s mobile devices making it easier to decide what to do, where to go and when you need to be there. Using location-based technology, it will be possible to receive recommendations for the
    nearest restaurants, clubs, shops and events. There will also be an opportunity to opt into mobile marketing campaigns for the region.
  3. A mobile system facilitating citizens report information to their Local Authority, request information and subscribe to electronic local services. Intelligent routing will route citizens to the relevant department, thus facilitating improved response times.
  4. A location-based information and guiding system for cultural and historical locations
    within a Northern Periphery region, linking together tourism information and mobile
    education. This will utilise mobile phones, maps, location-based and sensor technologies.
  5. A personal health care service for citizens. Everytime a hospital or health care clinic
    makes a change to patient health data, the patient will receive an SMS informing of this change. The patient can then log on to their personal health care account and track the changes online.
