The public transports, especially waiting for BUSES. And due to all these reasons BUSES are developing around the world. Such public commuters opt for different alternatives to ally their transports reduce the usage of private vehicles thus problems. There are systems that are made to fulfill reducing fuel consumption and mollifying traffic the user’s needs; It will give the information on some congestion. The problem with BUSES isthat the of those systems, also their advantages and commuters DO NOT know the exact timing of arrival disadvantages of BUSES at their stops. This leads to waiting for BUSES for 30-35 minutes as the commuters are not 2 Related Work aware at what time exactly the BUS is to arrive. The Snehal Demapure[1] Intelligent bus approximate arrival time of BUSES is known but tracking system using android is an application that there may be delay in arrival due to traffic. Seeing tracks a bus and collects the distance to each station. that people started avoiding public transports and Tracking system involves the installation of an started using private vehicles, many applications electronic device in a bus, with an installed Android were developed; but these applications were unable App on any smart phone to enable a user to track the to mitigate the problems. Some applications provided bus location. There are two applications one for only the arrival time and departure time of BUSES at server and other for the client. The user can get their source and destination. Some of them, provided flexibility of planning travel using the app, to decide time on which bus to take or when to catch the bus. The Tables, but even they were not accurate as they did waiting time of the user can be reduced. By using this not consider the delay due to unpredictable factors application user get the information about buses, bus like traffic, harsh weather situation, etc. the time Vol. Iss.

By the presently existing Manini Kumbhar[4] Due to rapid increase in system we are dealing with three terminals, a device population, there is need for efficient public on bus, a device at bus stop and a device on the transportation system. There is increased burden on master bus stand so as to keep the track on the all- public transportation like bus just because of city busses. By employing this tracking system the population. Therefore remote user needs a smart arrival of the bus is detected near the bus stop and system which provides real time information of bus. also can be seen on the PC at the master bus stop. So we proposed a new system which solves the GSM modem can also transmit the bus information to drawback of current public transportation system. So the registered mobile numbers. Hence, we can our systems handle all the data like current location control the bus traffic and can detect the arrival of of bus, management of buses and its schedule. The particular bus at the bus stop. real time tracking of bus can be done by our Kranti Dive[2] Due to the high cost of time, proposed system and this information is then given several methods are proposed to reduce the wastage to remote user who wants to know the real time bus of time on the bus station. So, we proposed GPS information. Some technologies like GPS (Global based Bus Tracking and Monitoring system in which Positioning System), Google maps and GPRS (General the tracking is done using Adroid technology and we Packet Radio Service) are used for development will create Android Application which gives User purpose. Our system provides web based application, interface to Passengers where they can access/view which gives real time location of bus on Google Maps the Daily timetable of Bus, Bus route, Location of Bus, to remote user. and Bus Arrival and Delay Timing information.

    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 8 August 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Comprehensive Unified Framework for Vehicle’s Security Systems 1Hussam Elbehiery, 2Khaled Elbehiery 1Computer Science Department, October 6 University (O6U), Egypt 2Computer Information Systems Department, Park University, USA Abstract: In this modern age there is a rapid increase in the number of vehicles and so is the number of car theft attempts as well. With the growing and strong stealing techniques, owners are in fear of having their vehicles being stolen from common parking lot or from outside their home, thus the protection of vehicles from theft becomes important and crucial due to insecure environment. Real time vehicle security system based on computer vision provides a solution to this problem, many of recent vehicle security systems performs image processing based and real time user authentication using face detection and facial recognition techniques and run on microprocessor control system fixed on board with the vehicle or online application on the cloud. The system also adds an extra layer of security thru a custom authenticating driver list of the vehicle before it could even power up which offers a safe environment [1]. This paper is covering the design of an integrated anti-theft control system for an automobile that primarily based on an advanced communication technology identified as LTE. Integrating with GPS and GSM, the vehicle location will be located and tracked as well. In the event of theft attempt or unauthorized person’s trial to drive the vehicle, a text in format of Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)/ Short Message Services (SMS) will be sent to the owner along with the location followed by a choice of actions such as tracking the vehicle, shutting it completely down, or locking all doors and calling the authorities [2].
