This is the official documentation page of Find Your Seat project.
We are Andrea Napoletani, Alessandro Giannetti and Stefano Milani three students at "La Sapienza" University of Rome.
This project aims to build a system that allows you to know the situation of the seats on the regional train in real-time. It also allows to choose a seat according to the temperature of the wagons.
We use Force sensor to recognize if a seat is available or not, it sends messages to the network through LoRa technology and visualize the result in the Android/Ios application.
For more detailed information see our Hackster blog post
The project is divides in two main parts:
- the first part includes all the technical details used to implement the system. Starting from the hardware used on the train (to recognize if a seat is free or not) to the software services used to manage messages from the sensors;
- the second part includes the details for the implementation of the application, both for Android and IOS, developed to allow the user to use the system.
To use this code you need to make some preliminaries steps.
First follow the steps to configure The Things Network application and device on our Hackster blog post (Section 2.1).
Then in each folder, mobile_app and mbed_sketch, we explain separately the steps that you need to make.
