Date: Dec 05, 2017 ABSTRACT The main purpose of this project is to develop a real time bus tracking system to enhance current bus service system and reduce the workload of bus management team. The poor services provided by bus service providers are because majority of them are still implementing manual work. Moreover, passengers are impatient while they are waiting in bus stop because they are not able to know

exactly how long to wait and where the next coming bus is. Global Positioning System (GPS) is the main technology implemented behind the system. A GPS receiver is used to track on real time bus coordination by continuously receiving the position data which are latitude and longitude values from GPS satellite, then send the position data back to main server and server process the raw position data into real time information for users. This system is implemented on Internet so that passengers are able to view the information through Internet access devices.

Project Overview

1.1 Overview Among all public transportation services, bus service is the major transportation used by public. Especially in a busy town or city, bus is the most easy, convenient and cheaper transportation. Various reasons that people take bus instead of driving own vehicle such as traffic jam, heavy parking fee and lack of parking slot in destination .However, bus transportation service has very poor transportation information system nowadays. Bus user do not know the exactly arrival time for a bus, but only know the scheduledarrival time. Compare to train or flight transportation system, bus transportation service does not have a proper system to track all buses position and theactual arrival time in every bus stops. These problems occur because current bus service system did not apply real time tracking technology to track on each buses on the road and also lack of a platform to update latest bus traffic information to bus users.In order to solve these problems and enhance current bus service system, real time bus tracking system has

to develop and implement. With real time bus tracking system, bus position data is connected real time and transmitted to a central server for processing and extracting transit information. The main technology used to develop this system is Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS technology able to receives the position of an object from space-based satellite navigation system through a GPS receiver. Some programming languages such as PHP, JavaScript, AJAX, and Android will be used to develop the proposed system. The developed bus tracking system will able to provide bus users a real time platform to check on updated bus traffic information, for examples bus arrival or departure time. Besides, this system also able to reduce workload for bus management team and provide an immediate platform to update latest and accurate bus traffic information to bus users.

1.2 Problem Statement Most of the people are afraid to travel from bus because they do not want to wait for the bus on stop and therefor they prefer their own vehicle.For example Student needs to wait for a bus without knowing what time the bus will arrive actually. Sometime, student might feel anxious and impatient when they waiting for a bus if they do not know what time the bus will arrive especially when student rushing of time for certain reason. Additionally, this situation wasted a lot of time when waiting in bus stop because the time wasted can actually spend on other matter.Examples to describe this issue, a student have to take the 7.40am bus to attend an 8am morning class and the class is important and cannot be late. The scheduled time for the bus is 7.40am, but the exactly arrival time for the bus will be different due to traffic status. If the bus arrives at exactly 7.40am, the student will not late for the class. But if the bus delay 5 to 10 minutes, the student will late for the class. Thus, the student unable to make decision whether to wait for the 7.40am bus or walks in to campus before 7.40am because the student do not know the exactly arrival of the bus and it would be risky to wait for the 7.40am bus.Lack of real time platform is the serious communication problem between bus user and bus management team. Without a real time platform, bus management side unable to update latest bus traffic information for students. Students also cannot check on the updated bus schedule if there is a bus delay happens. For example, student can choose walk to the building he or she want to go instead of waiting for a delay bus if there is a real time platform for student to know about the bus is delay.

In this project no rules are violated which are imposed by Government.

Project Planning 3.1 Project Scope The proposed system is aim to enable real time bus position tracking and build a real time platform to enhance communication between bus user and bus management team. There are several modules in this proposed system and the details are as follow. 3.1.1 Bus Positioning Module (Global Positioning System - GPS) This module is built for bus positioning purpose. An Android Smartphone will put in a bus which already installed with this module. This module will continuously send the bus position to central server with interval 3 sec. 3.1.2 Central Server Processing Module Central server will receive position data from bus position module with interval 1 second. When central server received bus position data, this module will automatically store the data into related table in server database. Based on the latest position data

received, this module will process the data and update latest bus arrival time in the main bus timetable. With this automatically updating module, bus user able to retrieve updated bus traffic information from server when request to view bus timetable. 3.1.3 Arrival Time Of Bus This module will build in Android phone for bus user to check on bus arrival time through Internet. This module will continuously retrieve the latest data from central server and display the latest bus arrival time for every bus stop in the web page. Typically with interval time 3 sec 3.1.4 Bus Position Mapping Module Bus mapping module is develop to show user about the bus position in a map. First, this module will load the map. After that, this module will based on the latest bus position data in the server database received from the “Bus Positioning Module” to coordinate the current bus position into the map loaded in user display. Additionally, this module continuously updates the buses position in the map with interval 3 seconds 3.1.5 Bus Status Update Module This module is used to update bus status into database when bus is operating. It is a situation where user can see that the bus is not available or bus has already passed so there is no need to wait for the bus.
