Introduction
 “Bus Tracking Application” is an application for Smart phones that works on
Android Operating system.
 This application uses the GPS function.
 This application at a specific pickup point will send the current location of the bus
to students when they request.
 This app generate predictions of bus arrivals at stops along the route.
 This application uses a variety of technologies to track the locations of buses in
real time.

Problem Faced
 In the daily operation of bus transport systems, mainly that of buses, the
movement of vehicles is affected by different uncertain conditions as the
day progresses, such as :
• traffic congestion
• unexpected delays
• Irregular vehicle-dispatching times
• other incidents.
 Many students are late for classes because they decide to wait for the bus
instead of just simply using a alternate transportation.

Requirements
Hardware Requirements:
RAM : 512 MB or higher
Processor : 1 GHz or higher
Memory : 200 MB
Other : GPS enabled
Software Requirements:
Operating System : Android 4.1 or higher
Front-end : Android Studio
Back-end : SQLite Database
Plugins : Android SDK, ADT Plugin

Development Environment
 The proposed system requires Android Studio that is an open source software
development environment.
 Eclipse consists of an Extensible plugin system and an IDE.
 The Android project has been developed in the Android Studio 4.0, as it has plugins
that are mainly used for Android.

ANDROID SDK
 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is used in Android development in order
to make it more straight forward and quick.
 It has been recommended for the developers because of its simplicity in working.
 Android is basically a multitasking platform.
 These applications can work simultaneously with other applications because of
multitasking ability of the Android platform.

ADT Plugin
 ADT (Android Development Tools) is a plugin developed by Google.
 Its main purpose is for developing Android mobile applications in Eclipse.
 It makes it easy and convenient for all the Android developers working in Eclipse
environment to quickly create Android projects and debug the programs whenever
needed.

Module 1- Location Info
 This module depicts the process of selection of Bus no and presenting the current
location of the Bus.
 TECHNOLOGY APPLIED:
 GPS – Global Positioning System.
 Client-Server Technology.

GPS- Global Positioning System
 It is a technology where satellites send down radio signals which GPS units
and receivers use to work out their current location (which is shown by
latitude, longitude and elevation).
 GPS works like this:
 There are 24 working satellites circling the globe at any given moment. A GPS
navigator or GPS tracker searches for the transmission signal from at least
three satellites

Module 2- Maps
 In this Module; application is using Google-APIS to show the Maps.

Module 3 - Bus/Route
Information
 The Routes of all Buses are recorded by Bus In-charge of college.
 For this purpose we have used SQLite.
 Bus In-charge will update all info regarding routes.
 Now when client makes request for the Bus Information it will be fetched from the
database and delivered to client through server.

Applications
 Commonly used by fleet operators for fleet management functions such as fleet
tracking, routing, dispatch, on-board information and security.
 Popular in consumer vehicles as a theft prevention and retrieval device.
 Asset tracking: Companies needing to track valuable assets for insurance.
 Field service management: Companies with a field service workforce for services such
as repair or maintenance, must be able to plan field workers’ time, schedule
subsequent customer visits and be able to operate these departments efficiently.
 Field sales: Mobile sales professionals can access real-time locations.
 Trailer tracking: Haulage and Logistics companies often operate Lorries with
detachable load carrying units.

Advantages
 Reduces traffic in clumsy areas.
 Makes people to avoid unexpected delays.
 Improves scheduling of vehicle timings.
 Easy to catch local transports.
Disadvantages
 GPS based location system may not work properly
during inappropriate weather conditions.

Future Scope
 This project will be put up on the cloud platform, so that it will
be accessible by every Android user.
 The application will prove beneficial for every bus traveler, or
even tourists. Not just buses, but this application will be useful
for every person travelling by any means of transport.
 The Location Tracker will give the exact location of the bus
which will make it easy for the passengers to travel.
