For my imagined computing project, I wanted to do something that could benefit people in their everyday lives. The project that I invented is called the train tracker. The purpose of the train tracker is to give the user the ability to see where the trains are above ground before they go below. Using the iphone as a platform, it allows it to be mobile and very useful. Combining the iphone with underground RFID tags on the trains and in the subway tunnels, you can broadcast a signal of where particular trains are and will be at a specific time. This is useful, because it helps the user allocate their time efficiently. You will know when you need to rush and when you can take your time. You will never be late or miss a train again!
