With the
rapid increase in the urban population, the demand for the secure, reliable and
intelligent public transportation system has also increased. The conventional
public transportation systems lack real-time monitoring, auto safety, and
proper communication with transport authorities. To address these issues, this
paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Public Transportation
System. The proposed system utilizes an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller along
with a set of sensors to monitor environmental conditions, passenger safety
parameters and vehicle conditions. Temperature and humidity inside the vehicle
are monitored using DHT11 sensor, obstacle detection using ultrasonic sensor
and alcohol detection MQ-3 sensor to prevent alcohol-impaired driving.
Additional modules such as GPS unit enable real-time positioning, and
cloud-based data transmission and emergency messaging using GSM and IoT
modules. Output devices like LCD display, buzzer and relay-operated motor
provide local alerts and automated control actions. The proposed system is a
scalable and cost-effective solution for the modern smart transportation system
as it improves operational efficiency, passenger safety and facilitates remote
monitoring by the transport authority.
