Project Title

SMI Smart Transportation

Project Area of Specialization Information & Communication TechnologyProject Summary

Real-Time Campus University Bus Tracking Mobile Application is a mobile application to help campus members detect the current location of the bus in real-time. Real-Time Campus University Bus Tracking Mobile Application is a hybrid mobile application. However, for this development, it is developed for Android user only. It can show updated estimation time arrival and the number of persons inside the bus. Real-Time Campus University Bus Tracking Mobile Application is developed as a platform for user to receive the data transmitted from database. Other than that, Student will know the time arrival of the bus and the current quantity of people inside the bus to lead them avoid wasted time knowing that they wait for the bus that pack of passenger. The student also able to make complaint and feedback via the platform. This project is using Google Maps API for GPS Tracker device. Overall, this project using the reusability techniques and Agile method to complete all the system which it is involved four interactions to make it full system work as expected.

Project Objectives

The existing Transformation Management System of the University is completely manual. The system is based on paper works and communications between the users of the system. After a person made a request, the clerk of the particular faculty does the driver assigning and the vehicle assigning for a particular request after the head of the department has given the approval for the request. After assigning a vehicle and a driver, the clerk has to communicate with the driver after getting the approval for the request. The persons that gives the approvals for the requests are, Vice chancellor, Dean, Assistant Registrar and the Department Head. The approvals are given according to the destination of the request. The person who approve depends on the destination. The clerk has to do the communication with the driver and the persons which gives the approvals. The clerk also has to inform the user that the request is accepted.
The security personals also play a role in the existing system. They do the recording of meter readings of the vehicles and times every time a vehicle goes out and comes in the University. They take the responsibility of verifying whether the request is approved by the suitable person.
There are many identified problems to be discussed in the existing system of the University for managing the transformation. By identifying those weaknesses, a mobile based Transformation Management System is proposed to the Management  of SMIU  by us. It does the management of the vehicles in the University in an efficiently way, consuming less time. Its purpose is to provide a system for doing this vehicle management more efficiently and accurately.

The system is mobile based and it also consists of an Android application for the driver and the person who want to request a vehicle, let’s say the requester. The requester has the ability to request a vehicle using his/her android application and see time to time whether the request is approved or not. 

Project Implementation Method

4. Methodology

Our first priority is to make a application mobile friendly.

UI and Applications:

As our priority is mobile friendly application so we will be using React native for this purpose.

Mapping and Tracking:

For mapping and tracking we will be using the best map service available online which is Google Maps API.

This is the most secure maps API available online.
