BZU Bus Tracking System
Project Area of Specialization Computer ScienceProject SummaryThe main purpose of this project is to develop a real time bus tracking system to enhance current bus service system and reduce the workload of bus management team. Global Positioning System (GPS) is the main technology implemented behind the system. A GPS receiver is used to track on real time bus coordination by continuously receiving the position data which are latitude and longitude values from GPS satellite, then send the position data back to main server and server process the raw position data into real time information for users.
This system is implemented on an Android App so that students/staff are able to view the information through smartphone devices.
Project Objectives-
Reduce the workload of bus management team
-
Enhance the current BUS SERVICE system
-
Real time location of bus can be retreived at any time
-
Save the waiting time of students and provide them the details of the bus
-
Any technical issue in bus or alteration in schedule could easily be updated at user end
-
This is a smart application with all functionalties needed to manage the bus system
Methodology applied in this project is incremental development model.The system developed in this project is not modules independently, all modules have to integrate become a working system. Therefore, incremental is developed and use for system evaluations, testing and enhancements.After all modules integration, the system is able to provide a more accurate bus arrival time and to reduce workload performed by bus management team.
Benefits of the ProjectPeople have to wait for their bus at the bus stops for a long time without even knowing when the bus will arrive. Thus, the arrival time of the bus cannot be guaranteed. The main focus of the project is to save the waiting time of students and provide them the details of the bus. It would inform the students about the exact time of arrival and departure of buses on route. Any change in the scheduled movement of the buses would be updated in the software. The exact locations of the buses will be displayed using Google maps. It would be helpful project for students as well as for staff.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableAndroid application that will be able to navigate or track the bus using GPRS tracker in real time.
