Abstract
Description
Vehicle tracking systems are a versatile technology which enables commuters to
determine the location of the buses in real-time. Bus operators can also deploy it for
fleet management purposes. In this work, an integrated, embedded GPS-GSM vehicle
tracking system is designed and implemented. The application enables passengers to
view the location of bus shuttles in real-time. It also allows bus managers to ascertain
the driver behaviour and observe the past and present locations of the bus shuttle. The
system has been designed to provide more functionalities with some modifications and
additional hardware, such as Accident detection, Fire detection systems and Fuel
monitoring. The location of buses can be accessed by the users either using the SMS
request option or logging into the mobile application developed for this purpose. Upon
receipt of a location request, the tracking system sends feedback which includes both
the latitude and longitude coordinates of the vehicle and also a link that enables the display of the bus location of a google map. The location is also logged onto a server
managed by the bus operators to monitor the bus activities.
