Campus Connect - A College Bus Tracking System

Abstract

Abstract: A variety of technologies is recommending the sophisticated environment more and more often. Modern business practises are frequently improved by the corresponding advancements in technology. The most recent and quickly evolving technology available to all consumers or users in today's industry is called Android. Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in end-user assent. The proposal is based on the most recent GPS technology using the Internet of Things, allowing college students to monitor the movement of the college buses, keep a timetable, and provide real-time bus positions for users. The seamless running of the bus system and the switching of vehicles are impacted by the exceptional road conditions. Additionally, daily challenges like traffic, unexpected delays, and dispatching events involving damaged vehicles occur. As a result, the student’s schedules are impacted, and they are forced to wait for their specific bus to arrive as well as make an effort to miss it. This application's main goal is to display the precise position of each user's individual buses on Google Maps. It also has the unique feature of alerting the driver if the user is close to the bus stop. It is a real-time system since the latitude and longitude coordinates of the bus's current location are updated every single second and sent to the user's application via the Google Map API. The user can view the estimated arrival time of the bus at their designated stop. This could be particularly useful for students who need to plan their schedules in advance. If the bus is running behind schedule, users could view the delay time to see how long they will need to wait for the bus to arrive. Users could have the option to pay their bus fees directly through the college bus tracking system. This could be done using a variety of payment methods, such as credit card or through Net banking.
