Abstract
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to develop an application for iPhone smartphone that has the functions of a vehicle mileage log. The idea of a vehicle mileage log is to track all travels made by employer’s vehicle and save the odometer’s current indication and generate reports therefrom. It also distinguishes business and personal travels. It is mandatory to keep a vehicle mileage log for a person who is using an employer’s vehicle for making private and business travels in Estonia.
This application is currently unique in Estonia. There are similar applications available at the App Store but none of them can be directly used as a vehicle mileage log. An alternative is to use a special GPS device that saves information about made travels but it is more expensive. It has additional costs like monthly maintenance and buying or renting the device. This application has no extra costs and it meets the requirements of the form of vehicle mileage log used in Estonia.
The application is developed on iOS platform. Xcode program and Cocoa Touch framework are used for developing. There are also several external classes used in the project that made developing easier.
The application is designed following Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines. This means that an iPhone user expects some type of behavior from interface objects that are built in. This makes learning the application easier for the users.
