Real Time Bus Tracking and Location Updation System

Abstract

Public transportation system plays a major role in every aspect of life. It has a greater impact on economic development of the country. Tracking, monitoring, scheduling, alert services are the major challenges faced by this system. Currently, major services of this system are manually operated which are approximate and ease of access is denied to the people. This project aims in automating the services of the system that can provide the real time tracking experience of the public transport buses. The buses will be having RFID tags within them and RFID readers will be placed in every bus stops. Arduino serves as the central controller for this system. GSM module will be used to send the tracking messages to the authorized persons for continuous monitoring. GPS is used for getting the location of the buses. Users will be getting the bus tracking details as notifications in their mobiles through IoT. The inputs from RFID readers are continuously updated to Arduino for processing the data. The processed data is sent to the cloud which serves as the interface between the user and the system.
