EASYBUS-Bus Monitoring and Searching System

Abstract:

With the development of the Internet, people come to use it frequently to search bus lines, such as Google maps, Baidu maps, etc. But these online maps have the information only about bus lines, stops, but the information how long bus will arrive. The paper designs a bus monitoring and searching system to forecast bus waiting time. The system sets up Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) equipment at every bus stop to identify the dynamic information and exchange data with buses on the road; Rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, we obtain the real-time location of the target vehicle information, and through the geographic information system (GIS), the system show the condition of the vehicle and the road network in the electronic map which helps bus companies to monitor easily. Using the Android software, designed for users, users can check waiting time any time any where. The waiting time error in the system is less than two minutes.
