Development of Smart Bus Management System Using NB-IoT

Abstract

Thailand has frequent road accidents caused by public buses mostly are caused by drivers driving faster than the legal limit and careless. In addition, there are other public transportations problems e.g., wasting of time waiting for the bus due to the unknown its location and uncertain of arrival time. Based on this issue, the researchers proposing solutions to the problems by developing an intelligent bus management system based on NB-IoT. The objectives of this research aim to study, research, design, and develop a smart bus management system using NB-IoT, and to examine its efficiency by researching related works and comparisons, analyze the development of smart bus management system. Researchers have discovered a synthetic smart bus management system and have developed the system based on NB-IoT which consist of 8 subsystems: 1) Smart Tracking System 2) Smart Gate Attendance 3) Smart Camera System 4) Smart Alert System 5) Smart Time Estimation 6) Smart Suggestions 7) Smart Accident Center and 8) Smart Report. These systems will run through an application on the user's mobile phone. This smart bus management system performance was assessed using NB-IoT. The evaluation found that the overall system performance was at a high level of efficiency. Therefore, it can be concluded that the developed prototype system can be applied in actual use.
