We chose the Android Studio and Visual Studio Code as the development environments because they are specialized in their respective areas, we also utilized MySQL and SQLite as database manager for the web and mobile part, Firebase as a service for data analysis and sending notifications to users. We selected the design pattern model view controller (MVC) to carry out the structuring of the system, the use of Apis is present within the project both, the one provided by Google-maps to use the geopositioning services in real time, plus an Api-rest for data consumption of the mobile application. In the evaluation of the user experience, we obtained a usability score of 94%, which means that the use of the application is satisfactory within the range of usability provided by the ISO/IEC 14598 standard and the usability bands defined by means of a normal distribution.
