Abstract
Public transportation is one of the main means of transport utilized by the population, however, it is still inefficient. One of the problems seen by the population is the delay of the bus. This can happen for several reasons such as traffic or accidents on the road. Tracking a bus through GPS and GSM/GPRS can help solve some of the problems related to lack of predictability of arrival, through the planning and management of the bus system. This project proposes the development of a public transportation tracking system, which will estimate the arrival of a bus at a desired bus stop by the passenger as well as allowing the passenger to see the bus in real time. Thus, the passengers will have better control over their time. For this to become a reality, the tracking system will be integrated and programmed into a hardware module to determine the location of the vehicle and a mobile application to visualize the bus on a map. It is expected to make public transport an efficient means of transport, where the user can better plan, due to the more accurate itinerary, and the bus company can make more concise decisions in regards to route timing.
Highlights
Over the last few years, the number of vehicles on the streets of Brazilian cities have increased considerably
The increase occurred until 2005, reaching 1.6 million motorcycles in 2007 (Lerner, 2009, p.42) and around 3.8 million in 2015 according to DENATRAN (2015). This increase resulted in losses in urban mobility and in the increase of the emission of gases harmful to the environment
It is possible to determine the time of arrival of a bus to the stop, the time of the route, in which stops the bus did not stop, average speed, etc. The objective of this project is to develop a system that allows the users of public transportation to track the bus via smartphone, as well to be able to have an estimate of the time of arrival at each stop
Summary
Over the last few years, the number of vehicles on the streets of Brazilian cities have increased considerably This increase was a consequence of tax incentives granted to the population (Lerner, 2009, p.42). The increase occurred until 2005, reaching 1.6 million motorcycles in 2007 (Lerner, 2009, p.42) and around 3.8 million in 2015 according to DENATRAN (2015). This increase resulted in losses in urban mobility and in the increase of the emission of gases harmful to the environment. A motorcycle pollutes 32.3 times more than the bus
