【 摘 要 】

Geo-fence is a non visible parameter that allows interaction between user of mobile device and point of location in sending and retrieving information. A destination alarm mobile app can help to alert and notify passenger of public transportation on their current location and the destination. An alarm will be triggered once the mobile device enters the geo-fence of the point of destination. Eclipse Kepler is the platform to develop the bus destination mobile app. Using Java language; the mobile app is built compatible for Android User. The process started from drafting storyline and interface, developing coding geo-fence 300m from point of destinations and finally testing the mobile app in real travel journey. The actual locations of alarm triggered were collected by getting the latlong from Google Maps to determine the difference between the distances automatically measured from the actual locations of alarm triggered to the point of destinations. The difference on battery consumption while using and not using the app also taken into consideration. The actual alarm triggered slightly differs from the expected 300m from point of destinations but still acceptable near to the geo-fence. The alarm continuously notify passenger even after exiting the geo-fence until it be denied by the user. The alarm drain energy.
