Kang Nam kyu, Department of Railroad, provides real-time bus information around the school.

Kang Nam kyu (Male, Photo, 20 years old), a freshman at Kyungil University (President Jeong Hyun tae), is becoming a hot topic for developing an application that provides real-time location information on route buses at bus stops around the school.

The app developed by Kang Nam kyu is The KIUM Bus, which provides real-time movement of buses around nine bus stops, including the main gate, the last stop, the overpass, and Exit 4 of Ansim Station that are mainly used by Kyungil University students.

As the post announcing the development of the app was posted on Kyungil University's SNS, it immediately became the "HOT post" with the highest number of views, and the average number of bus location information searches per day was 1,300. There is an app that provides real-time information on buses, but students' responses are hot because it informs them of bus departure and arrival times and current location at major bus stops around Kyungil University only for Kyungil University students. On Kyungil University's SNS, 'Wow, thank you,' 'A freshmen did an amazing job,' and 'Thank you so much. There are a series of comments such as "I didn't know the Daegu bus well because I came from Gyeonggi-do."

Kang Nam kyu was able to develop this app by directly going back and forth between bus stops by acquiring server access rights to collect real-time data through an information disclosure request from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Kang started studying coding on his own in the first year of middle school. And he also participated in the development work of startups and other companies when he was in high school. Now he can make his own programs.

As for the reason for the development of the ���The KIUM Bus��� app, he said, ���I developed it with the idea that our students can use their personal time efficiently if they can know the bus arrival time or current location of the bus stops around the school.��� Kang, who is selected as a short-term free dormitory resident provided by Kyungil University and stays in the dormitory, said, ���I feel rewarded for the support of the students posted on SNS, and I feel proud to see the students using the app at the bus stop in front of the school. In the future, I also want to develop an helpful app that is beloved by Kyungil University students.���
