Increasing Efficient Usage of Real-Time Public Transportation Using IOT, Cloud and Customized Mobile App

Abstract

Nowadays, reliability in public transportation is very important. People who use public buses wastes quality amount of time in waiting for buses in bus stops by without knowing the current status of bus. In day-to-day life, movement of bus is affected by many of the factors such as traffic or irregular dispatching time of buses. If users get the bus information such as bus location and time of the bus arrival based on normal traffic conditions, the passengers count would increase the trustworthiness for people in the public transport system. Our paper proposes an android application for tracking public bus using global positioning system, informs the passenger count in bus using IR (Infrared) sensors and also the estimated time arrival to the user. The location of bus can be tracked by users using Android application. Our app includes the details of bus like bus number, bus routes, bus stops, bus arrival timings, dispatching timings, etc.
