Application Safety Support for Train Drivers

This app supports train drivers during driving sessions by providing real-time safety notifications when approaching traffic lights and other key infrastructure points.

To deliver these notifications at the correct moment, the app starts a foreground service of type location as soon as a driving session begins. This service continuously uses the device's GPS to monitor the train's position, even if the app is in the background or the screen is off.

Importance of the Foreground Service

The foreground service is essential for ensuring reliable, uninterrupted location tracking. If it is stopped or delayed, important safety notifications may not be delivered on time, which could negatively affect operational safety.
