Design and development of Android app that can predict estimated time of arrival using GPS
This is not exactly a programming question but I have been stuck for days now so I thought I might get some help here. Basically my project is to design a android app that will be fitted in school buses so that I can send automated SMS to parents when bus is late. For this I need to calculate expected arrival time for the next stop and also create a mySql database schema to store the points. What can be the algorithm to calculate ETA and what should be my database schema? I stumbled upon this research paper here (http://ntl.bts.gov/lib/17000/17500/17573/PB2001102278.pdf) but it only talks about algorithm. Also the research paper is very old so it is using technologies that is non-existent now. How should I proceed for this? Server side is not a problem as it is already been done using openGTS. Any help is appreciated.
