This document describes a proposed mobile application to improve bus transportation services for students at Taibah University in Saudi Arabia. The application would use GPS and Google Maps to track bus locations in real-time and notify students of arrival times and delays. It is designed for students, drivers, and administrators. Students could see bus routes and locations on a map, while drivers could indicate if a bus is available or if an issue occurs. The application was tested successfully and aims to reduce student wait times. Future work could include additional notification features and a 3D map view of the university campus.

Previous applications are not well efficient as they provide voice alerts only for the tagged locations whereas in this application voice alerts are given for any location to the user, in terms of time and distance. It would be useful even when we are out of home language/place. It is an integration of Google Maps and voice Alert. In this application, once the cab is booked it gives voice alert to the user about its current location and time it would reach the user’s location. This application also allows the user to know about the required nearby locations. The user can also pin any new landmark for their personal usage into Google maps.

central server and bus system which is capable of providing real-time data (GPS coordinates) regarding the
current location of buses. Second application is student side application which displays the current location of the
bus on Google map along with the estimated time of arrival to the specified bus stop hence it saves the time of
students. Both the side applications provide dynamically updated timetable. Another important feature of both the
applications is emergency service through which call or alert messages can be simultaneously sent to college,
police and ambulance in case of accidents. Thus this is a cost effective, efficient system and helps students to
catch their buses at the proper time.
The Android application is widely used in all
sectors. In our application it helps to track the
location of the bus. By waiting near the bus stop
for a long time this application helps to reduce the
waiting time of the students using Google map. The
arrival time of a bus is calculated based upon the
pickup point and the starting time of a bus in the
shuttle routes. Providing the accurate bus timing
will be helpful for all the students, staff to catch the
bus at the right time. In a college bus driver is
assigned with a mobile phone where we can use to
track the current location of the bus. Notification
will be sending to the students and parents once
the bus is nearby pick up point and drop point by
using Geo-fencing. Quick Response code is used to
track the attendance of the student whether they
boarded the bus at the pickup point. Common
alert message will be sent to students, staffs and
faculty about the holidays or any crucial
information.

The increasing need for traffic detection system has become a vital area in both developing and developed
countries. However, it is more important to get the accurate and valuable data to give the better result
about traffic condition. For this reason, this paper proposes an approach of tracking traffic data as cheap
as possible in terms of communication, computation and energy efficient ways by using mobile phone
network. This system gives the information of which vehicles are running on which location and how much
speed for the Traffic Detection System. The GPS sensor of mobile device will be mainly utilized to guess a
user’s transportation mode, then it integrates cloud environment to enhance the limitation of mobile device,
such as storage, energy and computing power. This system includes three main components: Client
Interface, Server process and Cloud Storage. Some tasks are carried out on the Client. Therefore, it greatly
reduces the bottleneck situation on Server side in efficient way. Most of tasks are executed on the Server
and history data are stored on the Cloud Storage. Moreover, the paper mainly uses the distance based
clustering algorithm in grouping mobile devices on the same bus to get the accurate data.
FORESEEING BUS ARRIVAL TIME IN VIEW OF TRAFFIC MODELING AND REAL-TIME DELAYijiert bestjournal
To know the entry time of bus to a bus stop is the fundamental data each travel clients need to know. Sitting tight for quite a while at a bus stop debil itates the individuals to depend upon open transpor ts. In this paper,we display a framework which can forese e the landing time of bus to a specific bus stop considering the ongoing parameters that influences the travel time of transport. With transport module,the ongoing parameters that influence travel time a re persistently gathered and used to foresee the bu s arrival time at different transport stops. A portab le application is created to help the questioning c lients in getting the arrival time of bus to a specific st op. As there will be postpone in travel time becaus e of the vehicles on street,street movement is displaye d utilizing M/G/1 lining hypothesis to ascertain th e delay created by other vehicles going in the same s treet. Server predicts the arrival time on the real time basis by bus module and the data shown in the datab ase of server. Server is coded such that it sends t he anticipated arrival time of transport to the questi oned users wireless at each bus stop it goes till i t achieves the stop questioned by client. Arrival tim e got by clients helps the travel clients to arrang e their schedule and reach the bus stop in time. Such an an ticipating framework propels the non clients of ope n transport frameworks to utilize them and avoid the utilization of private vehicles in their normal lif e.
ANALYSIS OF LAND SURFACE DEFORMATION GRADIENT BY DINSAR cscpconf
The progressive development of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems diversify the exploitation of the generated images by these systems in different applications of geoscience. Detection and monitoring surface deformations, procreated by various phenomena had benefited from this evolution and had been realized by interferometry (InSAR) and differential interferometry (DInSAR) techniques. Nevertheless, spatial and temporal decorrelations of the interferometric couples used, limit strongly the precision of analysis results by these techniques. In this context, we propose, in this work, a methodological approach of surface deformation detection and analysis by differential interferograms to show the limits of this technique according to noise quality and level. The detectability model is generated from the deformation signatures, by simulating a linear fault merged to the images couples of ERS1 / ERS2 sensors acquired in a region of the Algerian south.

MOVING FROM WATERFALL TO AGILE PROCESS IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CAPSTONE PROJE...cscpconf
Universities offer software engineering capstone course to simulate a real world-working environment in which students can work in a team for a fixed period to deliver a quality product. The objective of the paper is to report on our experience in moving from Waterfall process to Agile process in conducting the software engineering capstone project. We present the capstone course designs for both Waterfall driven and Agile driven methodologies that highlight the structure, deliverables and assessment plans.To evaluate the improvement, we conducted a survey for two different sections taught by two different instructors to evaluate students’ experience in moving from traditional Waterfall model to Agile like process. Twentyeight students filled the survey. The survey consisted of eight multiple-choice questions and an open-ended question to collect feedback from students. The survey results show that students were able to attain hands one experience, which simulate a real world-working environment. The results also show that the Agile approach helped students to have overall better design and avoid mistakes they have made in the initial design completed in of the first phase of the capstone project. In addition, they were able to decide on their team capabilities, training needs and thus learn the required technologies earlier which is reflected on the final product quality
PROMOTING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT USING SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGIEScscpconf
Using social media in education provides learners with an informal way for communication. Informal communication tends to remove barriers and hence promotes student engagement. This paper presents our experience in using three different social media technologies in teaching software project management course. We conducted different surveys at the end of every semester to evaluate students’ satisfaction and engagement. Results show that using social media enhances students’ engagement and satisfaction. However, familiarity with the tool is an important factor for student satisfaction.

DYNAMIC PHONE WARPING – A METHOD TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PRONUNCIATIONS cscpconf
Human beings generate different speech waveforms while speaking the same word at different times. Also, different human beings have different accents and generate significantly varying speech waveforms for the same word. There is a need to measure the distances between various words which facilitate preparation of pronunciation dictionaries. A new algorithm called Dynamic Phone Warping (DPW) is presented in this paper. It uses dynamic programming technique for global alignment and shortest distance measurements. The DPW algorithm can be used to enhance the pronunciation dictionaries of the well-known languages like English or to build pronunciation dictionaries to the less known sparse languages. The precision measurement experiments show 88.9% accuracy.
INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC ASSESSMENT FOR SUBJECTIVE EXAMS cscpconf
In education, the use of electronic (E) examination systems is not a novel idea, as Eexamination systems have been used to conduct objective assessments for the last few years. This research deals with randomly designed E-examinations and proposes an E-assessment system that can be used for subjective questions. This system assesses answers to subjective questions by finding a matching ratio for the keywords in instructor and student answers. The matching ratio is achieved based on semantic and document similarity. The assessment system is composed of four modules: preprocessing, keyword expansion, matching, and grading. A survey and case study were used in the research design to validate the proposed system. The examination assessment system will help instructors to save time, costs, and resources, while increasing efficiency and improving the productivity of exam setting and assessments.
TWO DISCRETE BINARY VERSIONS OF AFRICAN BUFFALO OPTIMIZATION METAHEURISTICcscpconf
African Buffalo Optimization (ABO) is one of the most recent swarms intelligence based metaheuristics. ABO algorithm is inspired by the buffalo’s behavior and lifestyle. Unfortunately, the standard ABO algorithm is proposed only for continuous optimization problems. In this paper, the authors propose two discrete binary ABO algorithms to deal with binary optimization problems. In the first version (called SBABO) they use the sigmoid function and probability model to generate binary solutions. In the second version (called LBABO) they use some logical operator to operate the binary solutions. Computational results on two knapsack problems (KP and MKP) instances show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and their ability to achieve good and promising solutions.
DETECTION OF ALGORITHMICALLY GENERATED MALICIOUS DOMAINcscpconf
In recent years, many malware writers have relied on Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) to maintain their Command and Control (C&C) network infrastructure to ensure a persistence presence on a compromised host. Amongst the various DDNS techniques, Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) is often perceived as the most difficult to detect using traditional methods. This paper presents an approach for detecting DGA using frequency analysis of the character distribution and the weighted scores of the domain names. The approach’s feasibility is demonstrated using a range of legitimate domains and a number of malicious algorithmicallygenerated domain names. Findings from this study show that domain names made up of English characters “a-z” achieving a weighted score of < 45 are often associated with DGA. When a weighted score of < 45 is applied to the Alexa one million list of domain names, only 15% of the domain names were treated as non-human generated.
GLOBAL MUSIC ASSET ASSURANCE DIGITAL CURRENCY: A DRM SOLUTION FOR STREAMING C...cscpconf
The amount of piracy in the streaming digital content in general and the music industry in specific is posing a real challenge to digital content owners. This paper presents a DRM solution to monetizing, tracking and controlling online streaming content cross platforms for IP enabled devices. The paper benefits from the current advances in Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Specifically, the paper presents a Global Music Asset Assurance (GoMAA) digital currency and presents the iMediaStreams Blockchain to enable the secure dissemination and tracking of the streamed content. The proposed solution provides the data owner the ability to control the flow of information even after it has been released by creating a secure, selfinstalled, cross platform reader located on the digital content file header. The proposed system provides the content owners’ options to manage their digital information (audio, video, speech, etc.), including the tracking of the most consumed segments, once it is release. The system benefits from token distribution between the content owner (Music Bands), the content distributer (Online Radio Stations) and the content consumer(Fans) on the system blockchain.
IMPORTANCE OF VERB SUFFIX MAPPING IN DISCOURSE TRANSLATION SYSTEMcscpconf
This paper discusses the importance of verb suffix mapping in Discourse translation system. In
discourse translation, the crucial step is Anaphora resolution and generation. In Anaphora
resolution, cohesion links like pronouns are identified between portions of text. These binders
make the text cohesive by referring to nouns appearing in the previous sentences or nouns
appearing in sentences after them. In Machine Translation systems, to convert the source
language sentences into meaningful target language sentences the verb suffixes should be
changed as per the cohesion links identified. This step of translation process is emphasized in
the present paper. Specifically, the discussion is on how the verbs change according to the
subjects and anaphors. To explain the concept, English is used as the source language (SL) and
an Indian language Telugu is used as Target language (TL)

In this paper, based on the definition of conformable fractional derivative, the functional
variable method (FVM) is proposed to seek the exact traveling wave solutions of two higherdimensional
space-time fractional KdV-type equations in mathematical physics, namely the
(3+1)-dimensional space–time fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation and the (2+1)-
dimensional space–time fractional Generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony

paper reviews some of the automated penetration testing techniques and presents its
enhancement over the traditional manual approaches. To the best of our knowledge, it is the
first research that takes into consideration the concept of penetration testing and the standards
in the area.This research tackles the comparison between the manual and automated
penetration testing, the main tools used in penetration testing. Additionally, compares between
some methodologies used to build an automated penetration testing platform.
CLASSIFICATION OF ALZHEIMER USING fMRI DATA AND BRAIN NETWORKcscpconf
Since the mid of 1990s, functional connectivity study using fMRI (fcMRI) has drawn increasing
attention of neuroscientists and computer scientists, since it opens a new window to explore
functional network of human brain with relatively high resolution. BOLD technique provides
almost accurate state of brain. Past researches prove that neuro diseases damage the brain
network interaction, protein- protein interaction and gene-gene interaction. A number of
neurological research paper also analyse the relationship among damaged part. By
computational method especially machine learning technique we can show such classifications.
In this paper we used OASIS fMRI dataset affected with Alzheimer’s disease and normal
patient’s dataset. After proper processing the fMRI data we use the processed data to form
classifier models using SVM (Support Vector Machine), KNN (K- nearest neighbour) & Naïve
Bayes. We also compare the accuracy of our proposed method with existing methods. In future,
we will other combinations of methods for better accuracy.
VALIDATION METHOD OF FUZZY ASSOCIATION RULES BASED ON FUZZY FORMAL CONCEPT AN...cscpconf
In order to treat and analyze real datasets, fuzzy association rules have been proposed. Several
algorithms have been introduced to extract these rules. However, these algorithms suffer from
the problems of utility, redundancy and large number of extracted fuzzy association rules. The
expert will then be confronted with this huge amount of fuzzy association rules. The task of
validation becomes fastidious. In order to solve these problems, we propose a new validation
method. Our method is based on three steps. (i) We extract a generic base of non redundant
fuzzy association rules by applying EFAR-PN algorithm based on fuzzy formal concept analysis.
(ii) we categorize extracted rules into groups and (iii) we evaluate the relevance of these rules
using structural equation model.
PROBABILITY BASED CLUSTER EXPANSION OVERSAMPLING TECHNIQUE FOR IMBALANCED DATAcscpconf
In many applications of data mining, class imbalance is noticed when examples in one class are
overrepresented. Traditional classifiers result in poor accuracy of the minority class due to the
class imbalance. Further, the presence of within class imbalance where classes are composed of
multiple sub-concepts with different number of examples also affect the performance of
classifier. In this paper, we propose an oversampling technique that handles between class and
within class imbalance simultaneously and also takes into consideration the generalization
ability in data space. The proposed method is based on two steps- performing Model Based
Clustering with respect to classes to identify the sub-concepts; and then computing the
separating hyperplane based on equal posterior probability between the classes. The proposed
method is tested on 10 publicly available data sets and the result shows that the proposed
method is statistically superior to other existing oversampling methods.
CHARACTER AND IMAGE RECOGNITION FOR DATA CATALOGING IN ECOLOGICAL RESEARCHcscpconf
Data collection is an essential, but manpower intensive procedure in ecological research. An
algorithm was developed by the author which incorporated two important computer vision
techniques to automate data cataloging for butterfly measurements. Optical Character
Recognition is used for character recognition and Contour Detection is used for imageprocessing.
Proper pre-processing is first done on the images to improve accuracy. Although
there are limitations to Tesseract’s detection of certain fonts, overall, it can successfully identify
words of basic fonts. Contour detection is an advanced technique that can be utilized to
measure an image. Shapes and mathematical calculations are crucial in determining the precise
location of the points on which to draw the body and forewing lines of the butterfly. Overall,
92% accuracy were achieved by the program for the set of butterflies measured.
SOCIAL MEDIA ANALYTICS FOR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND EVENT DETECTION IN SMART CI...cscpconf
Smart cities utilize Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors to enhance the quality of the city
services including energy, transportation, health, and much more. They generate massive
volumes of structured and unstructured data on a daily basis. Also, social networks, such as
Twitter, Facebook, and Google+, are becoming a new source of real-time information in smart
cities. Social network users are acting as social sensors. These datasets so large and complex
are difficult to manage with conventional data management tools and methods. To become
valuable, this massive amount of data, known as 'big data,' needs to be processed and
comprehended to hold the promise of supporting a broad range of urban and smart cities
functions, including among others transportation, water, and energy consumption, pollution
surveillance, and smart city governance. In this work, we investigate how social media analytics
help to analyze smart city data collected from various social media sources, such as Twitter and
Facebook, to detect various events taking place in a smart city and identify the importance of
events and concerns of citizens regarding some events. A case scenario analyses the opinions of
users concerning the traffic in three largest cities in the UAE
SOCIAL NETWORK HATE SPEECH DETECTION FOR AMHARIC LANGUAGEcscpconf
The anonymity of social networks makes it attractive for hate speech to mask their criminal
activities online posing a challenge to the world and in particular Ethiopia. With this everincreasing
volume of social media data, hate speech identification becomes a challenge in
aggravating conflict between citizens of nations. The high rate of production, has become
difficult to collect, store and analyze such big data using traditional detection methods. This
paper proposed the application of apache spark in hate speech detection to reduce the
challenges. Authors developed an apache spark based model to classify Amharic Facebook
posts and comments into hate and not hate. Authors employed Random forest and Naïve Bayes
for learning and Word2Vec and TF-IDF for feature selection. Tested by 10-fold crossvalidation,
the model based on word2vec embedding performed best with 79.83%accuracy. The
proposed method achieve a promising result with unique feature of spark for big data.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. 2 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
GIS can relate disconnected data by utilizing area as the key record variable. Areas may be
recorded as x, y, and z directions. All Earth-based spatial–temporal area and degree references
ought to, preferably, be relatable to each other and at last to a "true" physical area or degree. This
feature of GIS has started to open new streets of exploratory. It gives a pursuing time technique of
buses, assisting the management of traffic sufficiently and solving emergency situations. It is
available a as web application for passengers to be familiar with routes' conditions and buses'
routes [2].
Location Based Services (LBS) denotes applications integrating geographic location to provide a
certain service. Examples of such applications include emergency services, car navigation
systems or tourist tour planning information delivery[4]. Location services are mainly used in
three areas: military and government industries, emergency services and the commercial
sector[4]. Analysts and researchers classified the LBS services as the following [4]:
• Person oriented: Position the location of the user or use the position of the user to
enhance a service for example, friend finder application. The located person can control
the device.
• Device oriented: Used to locate objects for example a group of people or a car. The
located person or object cannot control the service.
Also the location based services could be divided into [4]:
• Push services: The user receives information according to his/her location without
requesting the information, for example receiving a welcoming message when entering a
new town.
• Pull services: In the contrast, the user pull information from the network, for example
finding the nearest ATM machine.
This paper presents an application for intelligent mobile devices, mainly GPS. Several methods
are proposed to reduce the wastage of time of students waiting for a bus to arrive; we proposed
GPS based Bus Tracking and Monitoring system in which the tracking is done by implementing
maps with GPS facility. The Android Application is designed for students where they can
access/view the daily timetable of bus, bus route, location of bus, and bus arrival and delay timing
information. Our main focus is to provide the student with such a system which will for sure
reduce the waiting time and will provide the student with all necessary details regarding the
arrival time of the bus, its exact location and expected waiting time.
In the next section, a review of the relevant work is presented. The main characteristics of the
application are presented in section 3. The results are in section 4. The conclusion and the future
work is in section 5.
2. REVIEW OF RELEVANT WORK
In table 1, a comparison between related works and our proposed mobile application is presented.
We compared all works against most popular features as GIS, GPS, Maps and whether or not the
applications calculate the arrival time.
3. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 3
The proposed mobile application is used for solving many problems starting from the students
waiting for the bus. The mobile application will be useful to know next stops and students can
monitor the location of the bus on the map. The application is very helpful to find that either
student missed the bus or it is late due to traffic. The chance of missing the bus by students will
be reduced. This application will save the time and iterations of bus wait will definitely lessen by
this app. GIS and GPS technologies introduced this application Taibah University is going to use
this application for their students and providing them best transport services. This system stores
all operations done in a day and helps the student and management of transport services.
University using this app for better management and quick transport services for students.
Table 1. Comparison between related work and our work
3. SYSTEM MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
The system architecture is presented in figure 1, where the main characteristics of the presented
application are:
3.1 Dynamic Map
By dynamic map, we mean that the map will be updated automatically for students and drivers
which will facilitate to find out the students' exact positions and also determine each bus stop.
3.2 Geodatabase
Geodatabase has many features specific to databases and the most important of the total
dispensed from the other database programs and set up tables inside, tables can be presented on
the map and also the student's name .
3.3 Dijkstra's algorithm
It is a solution to the single-source shortest path problem in graph theory. However, it is about as
computationally expensive to calculate the shortest path from vertex u to every vertex using
Dijkstra’s as it is to calculate the shortest path to some particular vertex v. Therefore, anytime we
4. 4 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
want to know the optimal path to some other vertex from a determined origin, we will use
Dijkstra’s algorithm feature that is in google maps platform.
3.4 Notification System
In the application, a notification system is applied which is more convenient between the server
and driver and passengers. As the application is a mobile application then sending notifications is
a very practical way.
The system architecture which describes the structure and overall design of a system is presented
in figure 1.
Figure.1 System Architecture
5. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 5
Figure 2 System Class diagram
A class diagram of the system is presented in figure 2. The admin has a login username and
password to log to the web portal to carry out his tasks. The admin can control all the tasks from
his screen. The driver can set the availability of the bus weather the bus is available or not, if the
bus is not available a notification will be sent to the concerned students. The timetable of each
student will be entered, a notification will be sent and route will be updated accordingly if there
are any changes in the presented schedule.
4. RESULTS
The application has 3 main users Admin, Student and Driver we will present main screen shots
for each user as described below.
4.1 Admin
In Figure 3, The admin logs into the system with user name and password, the admin mages
routes, students and drivers he can add students and delete them, add drivers, delete them, also the
first thing the admin does is add routes that are stored in the database, also the users data is stored
into the database in the users table, while adding students the admin assigns routes to student.
6. 6 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
Admin can add routes to the system by clicking manage routes where routes screen will appear
and add information about route by stating its name and bus number, adding the departure and
arrival times; departure is the time the student going route to the university and arrival is the
retuning route from the University.
Finally through the route tab the admin states the start and end point of the route by taping on the
map to select location A then tapping to select location B. Admin also can delete a student name.
Student's information can be viewed by clicking a long click on the student name where a menu
appears to view credentials. Admin also can add and delete drivers' names.
Figure 3 Admin screen shots' example
7. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 7
4.2 Students
As shown in figure 4, the student can login to the system with username and password provided
by the administrator, students can view the route in real time and can locate the drivers location
on the map when the driver clicks start route, the student will be able to locate the driver on the
route and the speed will be displayed too.
Figure 4 Students screen shots' example
4.3 Drivers
The driver logs into the system by providing the username and password, driver can start the
route by clicking start route on his home page, as soon as the driver clicks start route button the
route starts and real time tracking starts on the driver and student mobiles, the driver can view the
route where the students' locations are shown. The driver can choose to report a situation if an
accident occurs or the bus is out of service and this will appear on the admin’s home page
immediately to take the ultimate solution to solve the problem as shown in figure 5.
Figure 5 Students screen shots' example
8. 8 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
This application was tested among students, drivers and admin in Taibah University, Almadinah
,Saudi Arabia. They assured that the application is a very useful and will help them. They assured
that the user interfaces was easy and the navigation through the application was not hard. Also the
application gives real time service as it was developed to be, efficiency of the application was
very good.
5. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
This proposed project intends to resolve the problem with long waiting times students of the
Taibah University are facing for buses. It’s primarily important to upgrade the existing manual
Bus Tracking and Monitoring system to improve transportation services.
For the proposed application, GPS based system is used to suffice the intended purpose. In this
proposal, extensive study has been done to elaborate on the bus management and a mobile
application based on the same. It also studies previous research works conducted in this field to
gauge the potential challenges in future. So, users would need a mandatory GPS, reliable internet
connection, and GPS enabled android phone to utilize the app.
The design entails three sections: Geo tracking, scheduling & fair query and security module. The
central server would play pivotal role in storing all the information which connects the driver and
the students. Considering the potential of GPS enabled systems, this app surely holds the
potential to improve the existing bus transportation system for students.
We are considering adding more features and improvements such as a notification messages,
calculating the remaining time, and a notification when all are on-board.
There is a possibility to modify our system by adding a 3D map at least for the famous places in
the rout for example at Taibah university when the rout is Taibah university location , for
example, it can appear in 3D as shown in figure 6.
