The objective of this thesis was to develop an online service for travelers who’d like to meet other travelers while on the go. The development process covered the software analysis, design and implementation of the system.
TravelersAround is an online service provided to travelers around the world, who would like to spontaneously meet fellow travelers or even the locals, without any need to plan anything in advance. Many times, travelers decide to go on a trip alone, because none of their friends were available at that time or they couldn’t find common interest for the same destination. That’s where TravelersAround comes in. As a solo traveler, you would benefit the most out of it.
Travelers log onto the system and receive a report of fellow travelers around their current location. The report is shown in real-time and provides up-to-date information. The system was developed in a short time and therefore includes the core features and functions, such as: searching for fellow online travelers in the area, sending and receiving messages, profile status updates and managing friends list. These features will provide the building block of the system’s further development. Future development will feature mobile phone application for the popular smart phones in the market.
The system was developed in C# programming language, .NET Framework 4.0 and SQL Server 2008 and released under the MIT OSI license. In addition, several third party open source libraries were used (refer to the Appendix 2 : Software Design documentation for the full list).
