Internet of Things(IoT)Based Real Time Bus Monitoring and Passenger Information System

Abstract

Term IOT was introduced way back in 1996 and it has become popular at present. IOT refers as system of
omnipresent sensors connecting the physical world to the internet. Core components of IOT are things, Internet, and
connectivity. It is a self-reinforcing system which fills the gap between physical and digital world. The research on IOT
has become immense in field such as Home automation, Healthcare, Insurance. The aim of the project is to implement
IOT in Bus transporting system. Based on IOT System will be implemented in two parts-web and android. There will be
two Android application one for Passenger and other for Conductor/Driver. Web part will be handled by Administrator.
Our research has helped us to implement an app which will provide exact arrival time of bus, count of passengers in the
bus. Passenger will be able to issue the tickets and physically challenged people can make request for the seats. Using
this app Passenger will have the flexibility of planning travel, to decide whether to catch bus or not. This research has
also helped us to gain the knowledge in IOT field and helped us to understand the various features that can be
implemented in existing system. There is a lot of future scope for it to be built upon when limitation will be realized.
