Public Transportation System

Time is precious in todays fast moving life. The wastage of time by waiting long time for getting bus can be avoided by Smart Public Transportation System. Here a methodology based on combination of GPS d GSM/GPRS modem is discussed to help the people who utilize the public transportation for traveling. GPS is one of the technologies that are used in a huge number of applications today. One of the applications is tracking the vehicles like public transportation vehicles or owned vehicles and keeps regular monitoring on them. This tracking system can inform you the location and route travelled by vehicle, number of passengers present in the vehicle along with time stamp and that information can be observed from any other remote location. It also includes the web application that provides you exact location of target. There is a mobile application through we can access the web page directly. This system enables us to track target in any weather conditions. This system uses GPS and GSM technologies. The paper includes the hardware part which comprises of GPS, GSM, Atmega microcontroller MAX 232, 16x2 LCD,IR sensors and software part is used for interfacing all the required modules and a web application is also developed at the client side. Main objective is to design a system that can be easily installed and to provide user friendly platform for vehicle tracking and further enhancement.
