Delate Mobile Application

Delate Mobile Application is an innovative mobile software solution designed to transform train commuting delays into tangible benefits for users, representing a significant advancement in public transportation user experience. This groundbreaking application, designed by Roberto M. Paura and Sofie Di Bartolomeo, automatically monitors train journeys and converts delay minutes into redeemable points, which users can exchange for various products and services through an integrated marketplace. The application, launched in November 2019, employs sophisticated geolocation technology and real-time train tracking capabilities through integration with open-source railway databases, making it particularly noteworthy for its user-centric approach to addressing common commuter frustrations. The interface, developed using Html, CSS, and Javascript, with implementations of Polymer, Vue.js, and Redux libraries, features an intuitive and minimalist design that prioritizes ease of use while minimizing battery consumption. This innovative solution addresses a significant problem faced by railway commuters who lose an average of 3,500 minutes annually due to delays, particularly in the Italian railway system. The application's marketplace component offers a diverse range of redemption options, carefully curated to appeal to various user preferences and demographics. The design excellence of Delate Mobile Application has been recognized with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Mobile Technologies, Applications and Software Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to transforming a common inconvenience into a value-added experience. The application's architecture emphasizes cross-platform compatibility, being available for both iOS and Android operating systems, and demonstrates particular attention to battery efficiency and user interface optimization through extensive prototype testing and user research.
