UiTM campus bus tracking system using Arduino based and smartphone application

Abstract

A prototype campus bus tacking system is designed and implemented for helping Student to pinpoint the location and estimate arrival time of their respective desired bus via their smartphone application. This project comprises integration between hardware and software. An Arduino UNO is used to control the GPS module to get the geographic coordinates. An android smartphone application using App Inventor is also developed for the user not only to determine the time for the campus bus to arrive and also will be able to get the bus information. This friendly user system is named as UiTM Bus Checker application. The user also will be able to view position of the bus on a digital mapping from Google Maps using their smartphone application and webpage. In order to show the effectiveness of this campus bus tracking system, the practical implementations have been presented and recorded.
