Abstract: Smart Bus Tracking System uses an application that tracks a bus and gathers the distance to each station along its route. Tracking System involves the installation of an electronic device in a bus, with an installed Android App on smart phone to enable the Administrator/student to track the bus location. Based on IoT this project is implemented as an android application. GPS devices are located in the bus to track their positions. IR sensors are used to count the number of filled seats in the bus so that the student gets to know the seat availability. All these information is made to display on LCD in the bus and at the bus stop. The tracked positions will be periodically updated to the server. The android application displays location showing the position of bus. It shows where buses are located currently on the location and provide the updated information at different time interval. The server will monitor location and will store its data in the database. It is a real-time system as this method automatically sends the information on the GPS system to a system & smart phone. he entire software and hardware is controlled by the Arduino mega and uno. The data is received to the android app via cloud and also received through the Zigbee module and made to display on LCD at the bus stop. Simple mode of communication is the key feature of the Bus Tracking system. This application can be easily extended for central tracking system to track all the buses.
