Abstract

Abstract This study proposes the design and development of an Android application tailored specifically for the deaf users of the Trans Jogja public transportation system. With the aim of enhancing accessibility and usability for this marginalized user group, the application integrates features that cater to their unique communication needs and challenges.

Purpose: Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Yogyakarta has a Disability Services Unit or ULD called GESI. This unit accommodates the accessibility needs of deaf students. Deaf students usually use Trans Jogja as a means of transportation to campus. An obstacle that students often face is missing the location of their destination bus stop. This happens because students are too busy playing with their cell phones, causing a loss of focus. Therefore, tools are needed as a reminder of the location of the destination bus stop. This research aims to design a tool application for deaf students using Android-based Trans Jogja public transportation.

Methods/Study design/approach: This research methods uses a prototype which includes communication, quick plan and design modeling, construction of prototype, and development delivery feedback.

Result/Findings: The results of this research are in the form of a prototype that has several features, namely searching for starting and destination stops, text to voice, word dictionary, volume settings, and distance settings.

Novelty/Originality/Value: The design of an application to assist deaf people in using Trans Jogja based on Android is used for students with hearing impairments, especially for Trans Jogja public transportation.
