Impact of transport apps on smartphone autonomy France

From a list of the most popular and performing urban transport apps in France in 2018, the source has measured which of these websites had the best perfomance in terms of energy consumption, measured in milliampere hour (mAh). A typical customer journey was measured, taking into account the different stages of activity: Tisséo (Toulouse) had the lowest levels with 0.34 mAh during the launch of the app and during map consultation (2.04 mAh). RTM (Marseille) had the lowest levels for the timetable consultation (1.61 mAh) and the Info-traffic consultation (1.38).
The active and inactive forefront and background represent the background or front activity that run parallel with the app. Here, RTM (Marseille) had the lowest levels of mAh (0.25) in the inactive forefront and Tan (Nantes) had the lowest mAh levels for the inactive background (0.22).

The source also analyzed the total mAh consumption of the whole urban transport app customer journey, where RTM (Marseille) had the lowest levels of mAh.

Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information : "The measurements were carried out on the basis of a standardized protocol: Measurements were performed on a Nexus 6 thanks with the Greenspector Free Runner Test, an application directly installed on the smartphone, allowing consumption tests to be carried out".

The source has selected the top 10 applications among the 10 largest cities in France: RATP (Paris, Île-de-France), Tan (Nantes), TBM (Bordeaux), RTM (Marseille), Tisséo (Toulouse), TCL (Lyon), Transpole (Lille, Lignes d’Azur (Nice), TaM (Montpellier), STAR (Rennes)

*Smartphone autonomy represents the overall capacity of the mobile phone battery.
