WanderMate: GPS based bus tracking interface system

Abstract

Inaccuracy of data given on certain websites, absence of information on intermediate bus stops, constant delay of buses are few of the inconveniences one faces while travelling. A person travelling at odd times might not be able to ask details to people regarding buses and their timings and the constant worry that, “Will I miss my stop?” makes anyone's journey a big headache. Even though there are a bunch of apps today in the market to solve these problems individually, we have developed an application, WanderMate that helps keep track of pretty much all information one would require to use public bus transport in the most efficient way as possible and that too all under one roof. WanderMate is designed to help the public overcome most of the difficulties that one would face during the use and reliance on public bus transportation for commute and other travel purposes. The application uses AI techniques to provide facilities such as navigation to those bus stops/stations if the user doesn't know the way. Another useful feature is the implementation of real-time bus services from each stop so that the user doesn't have to rely on strangers to know when the next bus is. Also our smart location alarm feature which as the name suggests alerts you by ringing an alarm when you are within close range of your destination. This app is our way of conveying to the people “It's time to enjoy your journey not worry about it.”
