Abstract
The article presents a model for supervising the travelling of buses through GPS and GPRS technology. The software is programmed by Module GPS, microprocessor, SQL Server and Google map. It is fact that many applications are included such as positioning, data acquisition, distance measurement, voice and visual message signs, Graphical User Interface (GUI) with more exact measurement. Real time bus arrival time prediction could assist transit operators in understanding and improving the quality of bus system. The experiment results indicate that the proposed model is providing real-time information on bus arrival and departure times to passengers to attract more public transport users. In addition, voice and visual message signs are installed on buses helping the passengers, especially disabled people can get the bus stop information more easily.
