*Corresponding Author ABSTRACT: It is an android application used to find out the bus number from [email protected] one place to another place. It is a time saving application to user. User can easily get the (V.Keerthika) information of the bus number of a particular route. In this way a user will be free of Tel.: +91 9486063635 confusion about the . They can view the bus details, bus route details and also

Received : search for checking particular bus availability .User need to give the details of source or Reviewed : destination or bus route number or bus no that is the number in number plate. Revised : Accordingly it will display the details of the bus and bus number which is going in that Accepted : route. DOI: Keywords: Bus number; Bus route.

1 Introduction Transportation becomes very difficult in tables were not timely updated thus leading to cities like Mumbai. 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 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

numbers, bus route, bus arrival and bus delay timing supports many features and can be among the best information etc. It provides information about which travel friendly app. bus coming to the stop. 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 and a device on the transportation system. There is increased burden on master 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 . 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. The L. Kishore[5] To Track the position of the Base Station also gives response to passenger's vehicle by means of GPS device and automatically request when they ask for some information about sending the data to the remote server webpage and Bus, , Route of bus, and Timing of bus. display the current position of the device in the K. Sujatha[3] Travel has always been a man’s Google map to the authorities. In institution or in best pass time, a method to renew from the daily ATM cash filling vehicle, most of the time we need to stress, a break from the monotonous life and to monitor position or path vehicle whether it’s moving experience the thrill of adventure. Until the last in correct direction or not. This system used the decade, camera was a traveler’s best friend but little ARM7 controller. The real time vehicle tracking and did we know things are going to change a lot better. monitoring system tracks the vehicle and displays In today’s world, life is always on the move. With the the current location of the vehicle in the remote advancement of technology, smart phones today server using Google maps. It has the ability to have immense capabilities to provide rich user communicate over the remote areas where user experience with interactive facilities. Smart Tracking needs the current location of vehicle. It can provide System is an Android based application for travelers Tele-monitoring system for inter-cities to obtain the geo-location and tag it with multimedia transportation vehicles such as taxis and buses. This features. This application allows users to create, system is integrated with GPS and GSM to provide store and view their Vehicles, Vehicle related features like Location information and Real time information and all the memories that bring with it. tracking using SMS. Vehicle Tracker Combines places visited, notes taken Suresh Sankarananrayanan [6] Public and the images captured, and display all this transportation in many countries is being used as a information on a map at the exact location where it means of transport for travelling and accordingly all took place. This application is developed to people would prefer this public transportation to be provide the users a rich user experience by having all scheduled properly, on time and the frequency be the information in one place, easy-to -access and increased for commuters to make good use of it. It interactive. With the help of Google Maps, each has been found that quite an amount of research Vehicle can be drawn out on the map with all the work has been carried out, in this sector, by way of locations visited and the route taken. The user will using RFID technology in the public transportation also be able to view the description, the location systems towards the tracking of passengers when address and the image captured any.
