Campus Bus Tracking System using LoRa Technology: IoT System Testing

The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) enables Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) to create a smart campus by creating and implementing a number of intelligent applications, programmes, and services to address challenges and issues experienced by students. UUM was compelled to find a solution because of the inadequacy of the bus services offered to meet the student needs. In order to enable students to observe the available bases, routes, and locations of buses, this study developed a campus bus tracking system employing IoT technology using LoRa technology. In this study, LoRa technology was highlighted to manage patchy internet connection within campus. This paper focuses on the hardware testing and user viewpoint testing of the proposed system. Based on the survey, respondents were happy with the system's performance, usability, and effectiveness. The use of the suggested approach can resolve the mentioned issue of inadequate bus services offered to meet the needs of students.
