Android/iPhone Mobile Application for Quick Response Pilgrims Campaign Locator

Development and implementation of pilgrims (Hajj) Guide application to be used at Hajj season would facilitate follow-up of campaign supervisors on their campaign’s safety and location. The systems would also allow Hajj and Umrah administration to manage the crowd of the campaigns in an easy manner. In this paper, we propose Android/iPhone application that allows Hajj administration to monitor pilgrims using Quick Response Codes. Using quick response code application allows campaign supervisors and Hajj and Umrah employees to monitor pilgrims and guide them in case of getting lost. The application offers an easier and faster service than traditional approach used at Hajj season by human guidance. It is a very convenient service that would relief stresses of pilgrim’s relatives who worry about their relatives performing Hajj. The results show that the average score of our approach (QR) is 4.72 out of 5 comparing with traditional mobile applications indicating that the users are feeling enjoyable while using the new application features and the system is easy to use. Finally, the systems would assist in achieving the highest degree of pilgrims safety at Hajj season.

around the blessed house (Ka'bah) and leaving Makkah. During this blessed voyage, numerous customs must be performed in better places at a particular time. Figure 1 demonstrates a guide of spots where the Hajj customs ought to be performed.
Such big gathering (around 2,500,000 people at same time) makes a big problem for the ministry of Hajj. Therefore, helping pilgrims to perform hajj in an easy way avoids people loss, because this is one of the main problems that occur during the Hajj season. Also, communication and information become instant and efficient [1]. Furthermore, locating people or objects is becoming a very important thing for business owners, for example, a hospital owner may want to locate patients, doctors and even equipment's for further uses.
Many technologies are used for tracking and locating, such as RFID [2], Barcode [2], GPS [3], Quick Response (QR) Morad [4]. All these technologies can be used in tracking and locating objects. However, all these traditional technologies do not use the Android/iPhone application.
The motivation behind this application Pilgrims will not worry about getting lost with the help of this application. No unidentified pilgrim will be announced if they stick to the rules and always carry their QR cards around their necks in the Hajj season.
The main idea in this study is development of an iPhone/Android Application (Hajj Guider) that uses QR technology, to be used by pilgrims, police officers and campaign administrators, as well as the general administrators of the Hajj and Umrah Ministry to facilitate on pilgrims locating their pilgrimage campaigns and the Campaign Supervisor while performing Hajj. Pilgrims first come to Makkah, then Arafat, followed by Mena and Muzdalifa; therefore, campaign location is not static; it's a dynamic location whether it is the hotel or a tent is set up for campaign in each of the Hajj rituals.    year.
