LIVE MONITORING SYSTEM OF BUS

Nowadays many cities face severe problems of road congestion and associated issues of commuters, which include delays in the arrival of buses at bus stops, lack of information about different bus routes and stops and time. College students/staffs will miss their bus by a fraction of second. This will lead to many problems like being late for the classes and sometimes late for the exams also. To overcome this, we have implemented a Smart Bus Tracking System. The proposed system uses a Smartphone application. Buses carry Global Positioning System (GPS) devices to track their positions and Google Maps API is used to display the vehicle on the map in the Smartphone application. It shows where exactly the bus is there on the map and provides updated information to the user at different time intervals. This also displays the estimated arrival time, which helps the user to know when exactly the bus is going to reach his/her stop. The user can get flexibility of planning travel using the app, to decide when to catch the bus. The proposed system is user friendly and ensures safety and surveillance at low maintenance cost.
