| Abstract |
Smart cities mission of India gaining popularity day by day. With the introduction of Internet of Things into smart cities the goal of smart cities mission is easy to achieve. One of the key feature of smart cities is Public transport. A smart city should possess an Intelligent public transport system. Today with the lack of appropriate information system in the public transport system, passengers are facing huge problems in the crowded cities. Passengers are forced to wait for long time since they don't know the information of an upcoming Bus or Train reaching to a terminus. With the introduction of technology into the public transport system a passenger can travel with an ease in the city. Here we propose a system where the current position of the buses and the arrival and departure times of the buses can be informed to the passengers via the display boards in the bus terminus or via the app installed in smart phone by incorporating latest technology into existing bus systems. The proposed technology has GPS system that tracks the location of the bus, a sensor incorporated in the bus to know passenger count. The GPS and sensor data is processed by a Raspberry Pi3 computer and then sent to a server. At the Bus terminus this information can be accessed through WiFi/Internet by the passengers. |
