Two London entrepreneurs have released a new smartphone app, called London Bus Stop, that delivers real-time bus schedule information for London commuters through their smartphones. The developers cliam the app is unique because of its alarm feature which alerts commuters when to leave to catch the next available bus. They also claim it is the only real-time London bus app available on both iPhone and 1812 Android devices.

“The London Bus Stop app has been developed for the London bus commuter who doesn’t want to stand at a cold and wet bus stop for any longer than they need to. It features TfL’s live bus arrival times for London’s 20,000 bus stops, rather than the timetabled schedule and has a unique alarm feature that takes account of the length of time to walk to the bus stop whilst still arriving in time for their bus” said Tom Daniels, co-developer of the London Bus Stop app.

Other features of the app include ‘find my nearest bus stop’ which uses GPS technology to display the closest stops on a map together with live departure times. Users can also save their favourite bus stops for quick access.

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.
