DrivingApp functionalities

Identification of the user's location

DrivingApp identifies the user's location when it is within the area of a delimited area. This zone must be registered by the administrator or security guard of the system, through the ViVA interface. When the user logs into DrivingApp, the application's Home view shows the user's area, name and address. In addition, the zone map view shows the delimitation of the zone, its parking lots and the current location of the device within the zone. The following images show an example of these views.

DrivingApp allows users to generate manual traffic alerts, security and car accidents. These alerts can be of 3 types: traffic jam, car accident and unknown emergency. Each of these alerts can be sent with a level of severity according to the severity of the event observed by the user. The severity levels of each alert can be: informational, low, medium, high or critical.
