Abstract
Information technology (IT) has transformed many industries, from education to health care to government, and is now in the early stages of transforming transportation systems. Transportation faces many issues like high accidents rate in general, and much more rate in developing countries due to the lack of proper infrastructure for roads, is one of the reasons for these crashes. In this project we focus on public transportation vehicles - such as buses, and mini-buses -, where the goal of the project is to design and deploy a smart/intelligent unit attached to public vehicles by using embedded microcontroller and sensors and empowering them to communicate with each other through wireless technologies. The proposed Offline Intelligent Public Transportation Management System will play a major role in reducing risks and high accidents rate, whereas it can increase the traveler satisfactions and convenience. Here, we propose a method, software as well as a framework as enabling technologies to for evaluation, planning and future improvement the public transportation system. Our system even though can be as whole or parts can be applied all over the world we mostly target developing countries. This limitation mostly appear by consider off-shelf technologies such as WiFi, GPS and Open Street Maps (OSM).
Highlights
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have received much attention in recent years in academia, industry and standardization entities due to their wide impact on people’s life as their scope to provide vital applications and services to improve transportation safety and mobility and to optimize the usage of available transportation resources and time
GPS tracking devices collect information regarding the vehicle such as the vehicles geographical location, speed and the driving direction at regular intervals of time [1]. The design of this phase relies on integrating multi-sensor capabilities together, in order to increase of the range of possible application that may serve the public transportation system such as collecting the pollution level along the road segments
GPS tracker data used in this work is supplied from Smart on-Board Unit (SBU) fitted to public transportation vehicles
Summary
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have received much attention in recent years in academia, industry and standardization entities due to their wide impact on people’s life as their scope to provide vital applications and services to improve transportation safety and mobility and to optimize the usage of available transportation resources and time. GPS tracking devices collect information regarding the vehicle such as the vehicles geographical location (i.e. longitude and latitude), speed and the driving direction at regular intervals of time [1]. The design of this phase relies on integrating multi-sensor capabilities together, in order to increase of the range of possible application that may serve the public transportation system such as collecting the pollution level along the road segments. We are using a WiFi-based throwbox to the access point located in the main bus station which act as a gateway connected through the internet to the back-end server The these data is in central database server based on a trip ID that is unique which is consist of triplet the vehicle ID, trip start time and end time. Updates, and corrections are made available by its participants
