Survey on Bus Monitoring and Tracking System  
  Authors : Gauri Somavanshi; Aparna Surve; Rutuja Nahar; Kranti Dive

 

Due to the high cost of time, several methods are proposed to reduce the wastage of time on the bus station. So, we proposed GPS based Bus Tracking and Monitoring system in which the tracking is done using GPS & GSM/GPRS technology and we will create Android Application which gives User interface to Passengers where they can access/view the Daily timetable of Bus, Bus route, Location of Bus, and Bus Arrival and Delay Timing information. The Base Station also gives response to passenger's request when they ask for some information about Bus, Bus Driver, Route of bus, Timing of bus.

Thus, in this paper we have made a comparison study between the existing system and the proposed system. We have tried to eliminate all the drawbacks of the existing system. The proposed system has a bright future in transportation field as it finds out the shortest path, takes the user to the destination in minimum time thus reducing his waiting time.
