Based upon the WAP introduction and its major findings, an analysis and design has been made for a concrete WAP application. This application serves as an information system for transportation systems and allows users to be kept up-to-date on actual maintenance, breakdowns and malfunctions in a transportation network. Functional and non-functional requirements, use-cases, activities, the database scheme, deployment and realization requirements of the proposed project will be discussed. Finally, the report will conclude with an evaluation of the project and a discussion about possible extensions and further work.
