A company of former students of the UPCT create a system to locate buses in large stations (29/02/2016)

Ingeniatic company created by alumni of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) has devised a system to locate buses in major public transport stations.

One of its founders, Diego Garcia, noted that the project, called MILO (Embedded System for Indoor Location), has been able to develop thanks to funding obtained from the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism through the Plan Avanza I + D.

This system aims to locate the real-time bus interchanges or large bus stations.

Currently, the project is in its final stage and is expected it started in March 2016 in cities like Madrid.

Garcia says that the project is focused both buses managers and citizens.

"I would to see what platform where the bus if you have already arrived or how close you are to leave," he says.

Reports that this system has been created for large cities where there is high volume of buses.

"For example, in Madrid exchangers also the platforms of buses intersect with the subway ... so there would be very useful to use," specified.

Ingeniatic is also the creator of the project Smile You, a kind of photo booth that emerged for use in celebrations like weddings or communions and then has become a marketing tool.

"The machine can send directly to social networks the photos taken, so that makes brands get an effect that otherwise would not have had in the events they attend," he says.

Ingeniatic was born in 2011. Since then the company has evolved adapting to the market.

Garcia notes that the company was created with two other former students of the UPCT, Andrés Cabrera Lozoya, Doctor of Telecommunications, and Sergio Lujan Fernandez, a doctoral student in Telcomunicaciones.

It also has two other partners who are professors at the Polytechnic, José Fernando Cerdan Juan Cartagena and Suardíaz Wall.

"I encourage students to work first as an employee before setting up a company to learn from the other side what the company" says Diego Garcia.
