Experimental Estimates of Low-Cost Bus Tracking System Using Area-Trace Algorithm

Abstract

This paper proposes a conceptual framework and experimental analysis of low-cost bus tracking system. This system eases every user with a simple basic functionality mobile phone to get the information of the bus. The main advantage of the system is that it neither requires a GPS nor an internet connection. The user has to simply send a sms from his mobile phone in a specified format to a standard toll-free number and the system would be in return sending the user with current location of the bus, vacant seats in the bus, its expected arrival time , etc This paper is an extended work of my previous work "Low-Cost Bus Tracking System Using Area-Trace Algorithm" [1]. This paper shows the experimental results of the previous work and thus confirms onto the low-cost solution proposed.
