Abstract

The project IOT BASED BUS TRACKING SYSTEM is develop for is a technologysolution that utilizes the Internet of Things (IOT) to monitor and track buses in real-time. Thesystem can be used to improve safety, reduce operating costs, and enhance the efficiency ofcollege bus transportation. Today, most students are traveling to college by college buses orcollege vans. Parents think that their kids are safe when they travel by college bus. But arethey really safe? There are many common problems such as students getting kidnapped outof college, buses getting delayed in traffic, and your kid being the last one to get down by busand being alone in the bus. So we cant exactly say that they are safe with the college bus andanother problem with buses are that the buses are operated based on a specific time schedule.However, students often have to wait a long time for buses because the buses do not usuallyarrive on schedule. In addition, the bus schedule is manually controlled by an officer, whichtakes time, and the data can easily be lost. Hence, the goal of this project is to develop a bustracking and monitoring system for the College students. Arduino node microcontroller unitand global positioning system (GPS) sensors were used to send and receive GPS locationinformation. The data retrieved from these sensors were displayed on an LCD display andsent to web address. For the experimental test, only one bus was used for collecting andanalysing data. Data were immediately presented on the user interface. The results indicatethat the system was able to track and monitor the bus location. In conclusion, by using theproposed bus tracking and monitoring system, users can easily find the exact location ofbuses also it gives notification to the student about arrival of the bus so that student can reachthe location on time and catch the bus so the waiting time of student and bus get reduced
