Abstract

E-Beca is a solar powered electrical trishaw which is introduced to promote tourism in Malaysia due to its significant identity as a conventional transportation system especially in the state of Malacca. E-Beca is also an innovative product built by a research team from Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) for the purpose of introducing education tourism system in UTeM. In order to assure the safety of user and asset which is the e-Beca, a web-based application monitoring system is proposed to track the real-time location of e-Beca. A smart phone with inbuilt sensors is selected as the tracking device for the project and several software like “XAMPP” and “Notepad ++” are used to develop the web-based application. Programming languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP are used to develop the user interface and functionality of the web pages. Besides, an additional development for a mobile application control system is introduced to control the switching of LED and buzzer using Arduino UNO as the microcontroller by assuming LED is the power supply and buzzer is the alarm system of e-Beca. Total of ten experiments are conducted by collecting latitude and longitude coordinates and instantaneous time displayed on both the application and monitoring system in order to determine the performance and reliability of the system in terms of location tracking accuracy and data communication efficiency. Eventually, the e-Beca web-based monitoring system has been developed to provide all the required functionalities to administrator and user of the system. Based on the requirements needed for the monitoring system, administrator is able to track the real-time location of the smart phone which is represented as the target unit while the smart phone user is able to see their real-time location, time left for the ride, e-Beca advertising video as well as making phone call to the host system. Throughout a series of experiments, a mean distance error of 7.12 meter between the actual and displayed coordinate is obtained as a result of location tracking accuracy. Then, a mean time difference of 0.572 seconds is obtained as the time latency of displaying real-time locations for the e-Beca monitoring system. Lastly, the development of mobile application control system is proven to be reliable and stable by switching the LED and buzzer ON and OFF successfully for ten times using an open source mobile application.
