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.
