Unlike conventional apps that rely on static timetables, their system retrieves new data every five seconds and updates vehicle position information accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app uses the user&#8217;s GPS location to immediately display the nearest stops, the direction of vehicle movement, and an estimated arrival time in real time. The system is divided into three layers: data collection, data processing, and user display; with the middle layer continuously processing and storing data while learning from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea originated as a student thesis project and has since grown into a serious platform whose goal extends beyond tracking trams in Zagreb. Ante and Dominik aim to provide smaller transport operators, who lack the resources for expensive infrastructure, with access to a modern public transport management system. In the future, the platform could analyse passenger numbers, optimise routes and vehicle capacities, thereby contributing to reduced costs and greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is currently in its testing phase, and the project has been nominated for the DIGI Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jutarnji.hr\/novac\/aktualno\/mladi-inovatori-platforma-stvarno-vrijeme-pracenje-javnog-prijevoza-zagreb-15710224\">Jutarnji list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fpz.unizg.hr\/zits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/o_38894863_1280-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-id=\"3484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fpz.unizg.hr\/zits\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/o_38894863_1280-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3484\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ante \u0160ari\u0107 and Dominik Knez, students at the Department of Intelligent Transportation Systems at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, have developed a system that tracks bus and tram positions in real time and shows users when a vehicle will arrive at a stop.
