PUBLIC TRANSPORT TRACKING SYSTEM

Abstract

In populated countries like India, public transport is essential as many people use it to travel with city bus or public transport vehicle. But problem for this system is people have to wait for hours and hours because they don’t know timings and the current status of the bus. Sometimes bus failure causes inconvenience to passengers.

In this study, a bus system is proposed in order to overcome all the current problems like waiting for bus, don’t know the route of the bus, what is next stop of the bus etc. In the proposed system, embedded microcontroller, GPS module, trans-receiver and display monitor are used to show information to passengers both in bus and bus stops. The system is divided in three sub parts, first one is for people travelling in bus will get the current position on map, next bus stops, route of the bus. Second one is for people waiting for bus at bus stops get the buses coming to bus stop, people present in that bus, their route and next bus stop. Third one for control room who will get status of all buses and bus stops. We are going to design a real time system which will increase the quality of people’s life who travel in public transport.
