Intelligent Transportation System using Smartphone

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.
