Abstract

In modern urban environments, efficient public transportation systems are crucial for ensuring smooth and reliable mobility. This paper presents TransitIQ Intelligent Bus Tracking & Management System, a web-based platform designed to enhance public transport services through real-time tracking, smart ticketing, and integrated management features.

The system enables users to book tickets online, make secure digital payments, and access QR code-based tickets for seamless verification. It incorporates GPS-based real-time bus tracking, allowing passengers to monitor bus locations and availability. A smart filtering mechanism provides accurate bus options based on route, stops, and time, improving travel planning and reducing waiting time.

Additionally, the system includes a conductor module for trip management, manual ticket booking, QR verification, and real-time passenger count updates. Features such as crowd monitoring, complaint management, and lost-and-found services further enhance user experience and service efficiency.

The platform also offers analytics and reporting tools for tracking bookings, revenue, and system performance. Built using modern web technologies and REST APIs, TransitIQ provides a scalable and intelligent solution for improving public transportation systems.
