Real Time Bus Tracking System

Abstract

In today's world where everything happens fast, public transportation systems are still slow and it's the need of the hour to make them efficient. A large number of people use public transportation like buses as it's inexpensive. But, buses arrive at their respective stations at random timings. Random timings sometimes cause commuters to wait longer than they expect. Waiting results in bad customer experience, which causes customers to drift away from the public transport to online cab-services. Therefore, to make the bus transport efficient there is a need for a smart system which can provide real time location information about the bus. Thus we are proposing a new system to solve the problem of random arrival timings of the bus. The system will manage all the data required to provide the real time location of the bus. We will be using technologies like GPS (Global Positioning System), Mapbox Map API, Android mobile application, Flutter framework and Internet are used for developing the solutions. Our system provides a mobile based application, which shows real time location of buses to remote users. This will improve the customer experience and encourage more people to use public transportation.
