11 But how do we get all the data?

12 T HE FINAL AIM IS TO HAVE AN APPLICATION FOR OFFLINE USE W HY : CERN HAS SEVERAL VISITORS DAILY AND MOST OF THEM DON ' T HAVE WIFI / INTERNET ACCESS H OW : N EED TO DUMP THE DATA AND LET THE APPLICATION DOWNLOAD THE UPDATES ON A REGULAR BASIS W HAT : - CERN BUILDING COORDINATES - T PG TRAM AND BUS SCHEDULE - CERN SHUTTLE SERVICE

13 CERN Buildings -Get a list of all the buildings and get the coordinates for each of them - Users are able to select a building and locate it on the map Unfortunately there is no API to get the coordinates of the building...

14 TPG tram and bus schedule TPG offers public API to get tram and bus schedule through their OpenData website www. tpg.ch/web/open-data/ But it has serious limitations: - Schedule only for the remaining part of the day - Full day schedule only at 4 in the morning (thanks cronjob) Necessity to dump the data in an external server

16 TPG tram and bus schedule Currently developing a python module to interact with their API: https://github.com/AndreaGiardini/python-tpg Code and examples are available on GitHub The module is just a draft, it needs further development. Feel free to contribute creating issues and pull requests

17 CERN shuttle service We received several comments on the Google store asking to integrate the CERN shuttle inside our application We are currently in contact with the GS department to find a way to get the shuttle schedule and integrate it in our application

18 Future development - Phonebook? Several people asked to integrate the phonebook on our app, but... - Phone numbers and users data are sensible informations - We should handle this data in a proper way Maybe the only part of the app that needs to be "online"

19 Conclusions We started this project almost 2 years ago as an hobby and now people are getting interested in it Thanks to feedbacks and comments we improved our application following the suggestions of users Now the code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/AdrianAlan/cern-maps Now we want your ideas! :)
