About this app
With increasing traffic, reaching the destination on time is being more difficult day by day. However, despite the traffic, use of technology can help individuals to travel easily (Patterson, 2014). The navigation and community based apps are quite common today among the individuals who need to travel every day. The navigation based apps help the users to execute a number of tasks from getting real-time data on the traffic status to exploring new routes using the GPS based maps. As a result, users of such apps can plan their daily commute more effectively and hence can save valuable time and money on fuels.
SDSC is a community and navigation based app which provide the users with the latest traffic status and information on the new routes. SDSC has some unique attributes which help the commuters to plan their trip. In addition, the app can work in both android and iOS platform so that it can cater to all types of users. Below are the benefits of using SDSC for travelling:
Know the best routes: Knowing then best routes is effective for avoiding the traffic and planning the best routes (Lind, 2015). In addition, travelling through the best routes is also effective to travel in less time. However, knowing the latest status of traffic is not possible before every travel. The SDSC helps the users to know the condition of traffic at every route. As the commuter becomes able to know the traffic status at every route, comparing between the routes become easier. It, in turn, helps the commuter to choose the shortest route and avoid wasting time due to traffic.
Reducing traffic every day: Everyday millions of drivers hit the road. So, it is quite obvious that presence of so many vehicles on the road results in traffic congestion. However, the traffic can be controlled to avoid collaboration among the drivers. The navigation based apps help the drivers collaborate among each other and avoiding congestion.
Knowing the road hazards: The road is not all about traffic but the commuters also need to face road accidents, police and other hazards (Yamsaengsung & Papasratorn, 2018). Getting trapped into such incidents is not at all desired for an individual. Encountering such incidents during a trip wastes previous time and money. So, staying aware of the traffic hazards and avoiding them is the urgent need of individuals. The navigation based apps help the drivers to stay aware of the road hazards and plan the trip effectively. It again indicates that use of navigation based apps enable the commuters to travel in a smarter way.
Explore the best routes: Exploring new routes is the key to travel smarter. However, in a city, it is not possible for the individuals to know all possible routes and travel effectively. The SDSC app, uses GPS which facilitate the users to know the new routes, the current status of the traffic and other hazards. Therefore, even an individual is visiting a city for the first time, the chances of getting lost reduces. Knowledge on the latest routes also helps the first time visitors to take the shortest path while travelling to their destination. In other words, exploring the neighborhood becomes easier with the SDSC app.
Make the pick-ups easier: When an individual is planning to pick-up others, knowing the location and estimated arrival time is effective to make the rip more time-efficient. The SDSC app allows the individuals to know where others other located and how much time is required to reach the destination. The app can be connected with popular social media such as Facebook. So, the users don’t need to make phone calls or contacting in any other way to know the locations of other members of the group. It can be done simply by logging into the respective social media accounts.
