City Bus Tracking System

The ability to track vehicle is useful in many applications including public transportation systems, fleet management and others. Furthermore, the number of vehicles on the road globally is also expected to increase rapidly. Here, the development of City Bus tracking system using the Global Positioning System (GPS) is undertaken with the aim of enabling users to locate their City Bus with ease and in a convenient manner. The system will provide users with the capability to track City Bus remotely. This project presents the development of the City Bus tracking system's hardware prototype. Specifically, the system will utilize GPS to obtain a City Bus's coordinate and transmit it using GSM modem to the different bus stations. The main hardware components of the system are PIC microcontroller, power supply, LCD, GPS and GSM. The developed City Bus tracking system demonstrates the feasibility of near real-time tracking of City Bus and improved customizability, global operability and cost when compared to existing solutions.
