Abstract:
Public transportation is the main core in any
country which help to increase government income, at the
same time save travelers' cost. Meanwhile, reducing the use of
private or individual transport help to save the environment
from pollution, which can achieve by providing better public
transportation. But, due to time inefficiency in the public
busses reduces traveler's interest towards the use of public
busses. This study provides a solution to the passengers to find
the public busses in real-time which then helps them to reduce
the waiting time in the bus stands and bus holds that are facing
by the passengers in a long time. The developed system
confirmed that the system provides accurate bus locations in
real-time; meanwhile, owners confirm they can track their
busses, which helps them to monitor their drivers virtually.
Furthermore, this system confirms the cost-effectiveness
compared to the previously developed systems. Furthermore,
this study can be extended to develop the same system to
monitor the crowds inside the bus by using the smartphone
camera, which can help in any pandemic situations to keep the
social distancing measures.
