Abstract
The Campus E-Vehicle Tracking & Management System (CampusCruise) is a holistic Android-based ecosystem developed in Java and powered by Firebase, designed to revolutionize the management, security, and accessibility of electric vehicle fleets within large institutional campuses through three distinct, interconnected applications. The system is anchored by an Admin Portal, which serves as the command center where authorized personnel use secure email authentication to manage the entire fleet by adding new vehicles with unique identifiers and registering drivers with their personal details, crucially assigning them to specific vehicles within Firestore to establish a clear operational chain of command. The Driver Application acts as the on-ground executor, where registered drivers authenticate seamlessly via phone number and OTP to access their assigned vehicle; upon starting a trip, the app's background service actively fetches and streams precise, timestamped latitude and longitude coordinates from the Android Location Services API to the Firebase real-time database, and continues this transmission until the driver formally stops the vehicle, ensuring location data is only shared during active, in-service periods. On the user-facing side, the User Application provides complete transparency by listening to the live data stream from Firebase and plotting the real-time, dynamic positions of all active fleet vehicles on an intuitive Google Maps interface, allowing users to visually track shuttles without any authentication. To bridge the critical communication gap, the app integrates a one-touch dial feature that retrieves the selected driver's registered phone number from the database and invokes the native dialer, enabling instant voice contact for precise pickups or emergency coordination. By synergizing real-time GPS tracking, cloud-based data synchronization, and role-specific access control, CampusCruise delivers a secure, transparent, and highly efficient solution that optimizes fleet utilization and significantly enhances the daily commute experience for the entire campus community.
