| Summary: | The technological rise in public transportation
is on the horizon, but the bus network structure and
intelligent bus tracking system should first be in place. Bus
transport service is on the edge of digital revolution,
generating real-time tracking information about the bus
service using smartphones. In this paper, a cloud-based bus
tracking system based on IoT is proposed to reduce human
intervention, waiting time and energy. The exact location
and arrival time of the bus can be tracked dynamically by
using a mobile application to provide better and efficient bus
service. Furthermore, passengers can buy tickets without
queueing and book the available seats by making online
payments. The proposed scheme allows more flexibility and
user satisfactory service to the rider in terms of time loss and
encourages more people to ride by providing real-time bus
tracking information to improve passenger satisfaction. The
main objective is to minimize the unnecessary waiting and
queueing time uncertainty of passengers. Riders can utilize
their waiting time more productively by choosing the nearest
route and alternative transportation. The sustainability of
public transport service can be maintained by providing
noteworthy benefits to the passengers using the proposed
IoT-based bus tracking system. |
