Integrated Bus System Using QR Code

Abstract

As the ratio of private vehicles increases the traffic Congestion in the city increases with the same proportion. People don't prefer to used public transport. Private vehicle are chosen by people instead of public transport. Improved public transport is the need of India. So to improve public transport is the agenda of Indian government. To integrate and automated these services computing technology plays a important role. People prefer buses because buses are the reliable mode of transport. The paper aim to present such a solution which helps to citizens and promote public transport usage for commuters, as well as reducing operational costs for public transit companies. To integrate the system we are using two main components 1) E-ticketing 2) Tracking. To avoid traffic problems and to promote for usage of public transport we are proposing such a system. In this system commuters will be able to track the bus with the help of smart phone by scanning the QR (Quick Response) code placed at the bus stop to view estimated arrival time of bus, current location of bus, and bus routes on a map is proposed in this paper. Smart phone is used to check the availability of bus. For display and navigation GPS (Global Positioning System) and Google maps technology is used.
