ABSTRACT:
Travel time information is a vital component of many intelligent transportation systems applications. In recent years, the population growth in India has increased tremendously, due to non-availability of prior information about the buses arrival schedule, people have to wait longer on bus stops especially in morning when they have to reach the offices in time. The buses are overloaded for most of the times which often results in some kind of fault occurrence in buses and people get late further.
Owing to poor infrastructure of roads in country, the annual growth rate of vehicles has created problems in controlling the traffic flow resulting in traffic congestion on roads. Also with the increased number of vehicles, leading to severe pollution in urban areas, particularly during peak periods.,the content of carbon mono-oxide and particulates matter concentration is found to be 10 times higher than World Health Organization (WHO) in central parts of Delhi city thereby deteriorating the environment and causing lung diseases. To reduce the number of private vehicles and improve the public modes of transportation, the idea of introducing Light Rail Transit (LRT) is proposed.
This paper existing and implements a solution for enhancing public transportation management services based on GPS and GSM .The system consists of three modules:
1. In-BUS Module,
2. BASE Station Module and
3. BUS Stop Module.
The microcontroller based In-BUS Module consisting mainly of a GPS receiver and GSM modem then starts transmitting its location and number of passengers to BASE Station Module. BASE Station Module equipped with a microcontroller unit and GSM modems interfaced to PCs is designed to keep track record of every bus, processes user request about a particular bus location out of BUS Station and updates buses location on bus stops.
BUS Stop Module is installed at every bus stop and consists of a GSM modem, memory unit and dot matrix display all interfaced to a microcontroller. This module receives buses location information coming towards that stop from BASE Station module and displays the information on a dot matrix display.
BUS Stop Module:
In this proposed system we introduced advanced public transportation systems for public service, which can significantly improve the traffic situation in India. One such application will be to provide accurate information about bus arrivals to passengers, leading to reduced waiting times at bus stops. This needs a real-time data collection technique, a quick and reliable prediction technique to calculate the expected travel time based on real-time data and informing the passengers regarding the same. The scope of this proposed system is to use global positioning system data collected from public transportation buses plying on urban roadways in the city of Hyderabad , India, to predict travel times. The work presented here is one of the first attempts at real-time short-term prediction of travel time in Indian traffic conditions and Fare collecting system can also be automated by providing another mobile service to which all the passengers
using public transport are subscribed.
Transportation Department to have a check on the performance and services offered by transporters to common people. The results have shown that the developed system is useful for facilitating people using public transportation services.
