Abstract

Today there are several navigation apps, but a dedicated app, Makani, was developed to suit specific needs of Dubai. The aim of this paper is to investigate the navigation app Makani from several perspectives, including its role in a smart city and how it represents a varied example of the traditional concept of Public Private Partnership and where within that context the Makani app can be placed. The paper concludes with a usability study on the app examining four user experience criteria: content, format, accuracy, and ease of use to identify aspects of the app that will contribute to its success.
