BUSNAV: A Real Time Bus Tracking Application

Abstract

This research focuses on developing an advanced Bus Tracking System, with the primary goal of creating a GPS tracking application that surpasses existing systems in terms of accuracy and efficiency, specifically in tracking buses. The motivation for this study stemmed from the noticeable time wastage individuals experience while waiting for buses on their designated routes, coupled with the absence of real-time information for those who have missed their bus. This research endeavor aims not only to enhance the precision and efficiency of bus tracking but also to address the common issue of people wasting valuable time while awaiting buses and those who miss their rides due to the lack of real-time information. By tackling these challenges, the developed Bus Tracking System strives to optimize the overall public transportation experience, offering users timely and reliable information to streamline their commutes and minimize inconvenience. Through innovative technological solutions and a user- centric approach, this research endeavors to significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of bus tracking systems, ultimately benefiting commuters and transit authorities alike.
