ABSTRACT
The primary information to most city transport travellers is bus arrival time. It often
discourages the passengers for excessively waiting long time at bus stops and makes them
reluctant to take the public transport, buses. To enable the passenger to track the vehicle or
bus an electronic device is installed in a vehicle is known as Real Time Bus Arrival System.
This proposes a bus arrival time prediction using GPS and GSM technology. It would also
work as anti theft system and cheapest source of vehicle tracking. It is an embedded system
using GPS (Global Positioning System), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication)
and Microcontroller for tracking the bus. The real time co-ordinates obtained from the GPS
will continuously monitor a moving vehicle and report the status of the vehicle on request to
passengers. The GPS/GSM unit is mounted on the bus sends the data to the central monitoring
system microcontroller using the GSM module and displays bus location name on the LCD.
The position i.e Latitude and Longitude of a vehicle from remote place is sent by the GSM
module to the Server and then the server calculates the arrival time of the bus and sends to the
requested user using GSM module.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1- Motivation
Possessing own transportation has become more common nowadays. The number of
vehicles on the road keep on increasing and most of us are eager to own personal vehicle as
we can go anywhere without limitation. In case we are unable to afford personal vehicle,
public transportation such as bus, train and cab is the most convenience options for us to get
ourselves to another destination from time to time. At this project, we will concentrate the
discussion on bus only.
Undoubtedly, the existence of bus has reduced road traffic and taking bus is a good starting
to inculcate the car-pooling value. Besides, it provides a low-cost transportation which means
to the low-income family for traveling to another destination.
However, things always don‟t come perfect. The main drawback of travelling with bus is the
inconsistent arrival time which may due to unforeseen circumstances. Even when we know
the bus schedule well, there are number of reasons that bus as may not arrive as expected.
Traffic congestions, heavy downpour, bus breakdowns, accident and day-today problems
faced by the bus company can delay or completely interrupt bus service. It is particularly
annoying when a person has urgent appointment, but we are late due to the time-consuming
of bus trip.
The shortcoming of unexpected bus arrival time has given us the intuition for developing a
forecasting system that will inform the passengers earlier about the arrival time of particular
bus. By using the forecasting system to determine when the next bus is going to arrive, the
passengers don‟t need to wait an undetermined amount of time at a possibly unpleasant or
unsafe bus stop.
Passengers can easily obtain real time arrival information remotely by just sending a SMS
(Short Messaging Service) to the forecasting system. Then, the system will send back the
estimation of bus arrival time to passenger in SMS as well.
Eventually, passengers can determine exactly when to leave home or the office in order to
meet the bus. It is virtually eliminating their waiting time. If the bus will not be arriving for
an extended period, the passengers can go into a store, read the newspaper, or even take
another mode of transportation.

1.2- Goals-
The main goal of this project is to reduce the required transport time by passenger and he
can keep up with his schedule. By using the practical application of the project the passenger
need not wait for the Bus.
1.3- Objective-
 To offer a convenience mobile information service which ensures passengers are
able to organize multiple personal daily planning efficiently.
 To offer a mobile information service which can assist passengers to eliminate the
waiting time for the arrival of bus at a possibly unpleasant or unsafe bus stop.
 To make more accessible and constantly updated dynamic bus information to bus
passengers.
 To offer cost effective mobile information service to bus passengers via SMS
(Short Message Service).

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1-Research methods-
One of the most important components of Research is collection of data required to solve
a defined research problem. The general tendency of the researcher is to organize a survey
and collect the primary data from the field. However, it is also important to be
considered to identify relevant secondary sources and gather data already available.
2.2-Practical use of the Project-
The bus companies generally provide bus timetables on the web. Such bus timetables only
provide limited information (e.g., operating hours, time intervals,) which are not timely
updated according to instant traffic conditions. Although many commercial information
providers offer the real time bus arrival prediction information, the service usually comes
with prestigious cost. With a fleet of thousands of buses, the installment of in- vehicle GPS
systems requires tens millions of dollars. The network infrastructure to deliver these services
raises the deployment cost even higher, which would eventually translate to increase
expenditure of passengers. Participatory Sensing, user activity recognition and passenger
Sensing provides rich contextual information for applications of mobile such as location
based services and social networking services. Mobile devices consumes large amount of
energy by continuously capturing this context information. A new design framework for Gps
Based bus arrival time predicting system is proposed . We present a new bus arrival time
prediction system based on Gps based sensing. We interviewed bus passengers on acquiring
the bus arrival time. Many passengers indicate that they want to instantly track the arrival
time of the Buses and they are willing to contribute their location information on buses to
help to establish a system to estimate the arrival time at various bus stops for the community.
This motivates us to design a Gps based service to bridge those who want to know bus arrival
time (querying users) by tracking the bus and able to share the instant bus route information .
This type of vehicle tracking, which simply tracking the ports the locations of all active
vehicles, is widely available today. While this is a useful service, its utility for transit
applications is somewhat diminished by a lack of sufficient navigation metadata: what route

is each bus driving, and at what time will it arrive at my stop? State of the art systems provide
this metadata by means of an in vehicle device which accepts driver input, such as the current
route, as well as by estimating arrival times based on current vehicle location, past travel
times, and the official route schedule.
SEQUENCE OF ACTION OF TYPICAL BUS PASSENGERS
In this section, we will illustrate the series of action taken by typical bus passengers
before they start their journey. It is a simple and self-explanatory process.
Plan a journey Confirm the departure time
Bus Station Wait at bus stop

STEP 1:
The first step before a passenger board a bus is to plan a journey. Among the concerns that is
taken into account during the planning phase are consisting where he/she want to go, what
time he/she plan to depart, when the bus will arrive and so on.
STEP 2:
After gone through the initial planning stage, the passenger should have decided the departure
time based on the reference on bus schedule.
STEP 3:
Upon deciding the departure time, the passenger is ready to leave for his/her destination.
She/he will wait at the bus stop without any prior notice of bus arrival time. The bus may
arrive on schedule or it may arrive later than the expected time due to some external and
stochastic factor such as traffic condition and accident.
STEP 4:
The last stage obviously is the arrival of the bus regardless the bus arrive on time or arrive
late to that particular bus stop, The question marks besides the bus picture has implied that
the arrival time of a bus is never predictable and the time is subject to changes.

CHAPTER 3
DESIGNING
3.1- Working principle-
The working of the system is based on the GSM and GPS Module. When a passenger needs
to know about how much time will the nearest bus require to reach the bus stop or how much
time he has to wait he can use the Real time bus arrival system the working is user friendly
and of minimal cost. It requires a simple text to a number e.g.: 987-xxx-xxx-x. The user will
get bus coordinates via text by GSM module which will be set in bus. By the estimation he
can wait for the bus ad would be assured of the present arrival time of the bus. A flowchart of
how the Real time bus arrival works would make a better understanding.
User sending text waiting at Bus
stop 987-xxx-xxx-x.
The message is received by GSM
module and the process is
undertaken by the Microcontroller.
Microcontroller now requires a
GPS module to carry on the further
process.
GPS module connected to a GPS
antenna gather present locations
latitude and longitude and forwards it
to the Microcontroller.
Microcontroller displays the latitude
and longitude on lcd and provides
the information to GSM module.
User gets the Latitude and Longitude
by a SMS send by the GSM module.

3.3- Components-
3.3.1 Microcontroller 8051-
A microcontroller is an economical computer-on-a-chip built for dealing with specific tasks,
such as displaying or receiving information through LEDs or remote controlled devices. The
most commonly used set of microcontrollers belong to 8051 Family.
8051Microcontrollers continue to remain a preferred choice for a vast community of
hobbyists and professionals. Through 8051, the world became witness to the most
revolutionary set of microcontrollers.
Intel fabricated the original 8051 which is known as MCS-51. The other two members of the
8051 family are:
i. 8052 – This microcontroller has 256 bytes of RAM and 3 timers. In addition to the
standard features of 8051, this microcontroller has an added 128 bytes of RAM and timer. It
has 8K bytes of on chip program ROM. The programs written for projects using 8051
microcontroller can be used to run on the projects using 8052 microcontroller as 8051 is a
subset of 8052.
ii. 8031 – This microcontroller has all the features of 8051 except for it to be ROM-less.
An external ROM that can be as large as 64 K bytes should be programmed and added to this
chip for execution. The disadvantage of adding external ROM is that 2 ports (out of the 4
ports) are used. Hence, only 2 ports are left for I/O operations which can also be added
externally if required for execution.
Figure 1: Micorcontroller

Comparison of 8051 family members:

I/O pins 32 32 32

Table – 1.1 Comparison of 8051 family members.
Various 8051 microcontrollers
8051 microcontrollers use two different kinds of memory such as UV- EPROM, Flash and
NV-RAM. Hence 8051 will not be seen in the part number even though it is the most popular
member of the 8051 family.
i. 8751 – This microcontroller is the UV-EPROM version of 8051. This chip has only 4K
bytes of UV-EPROM. It is required to have access to the PROM burner and the UV-EPROM
eraser to erase the contents inside the chip before it is programmed again. The disadvantage
of using this memory is the waiting time of around 20 minutes to erase the contents in order
to program it again. Due to this limitation, manufacturers fabricated flash and NV-RAM
versions of 8051.
ii. AT89C51 from Atmel Corporation – Atmel fabricated the flash ROM version of 8051
which is popularly known as AT89C51 („C‟ in the part number indicates CMOS). The flash
memory can erase the contents within seconds which is best for fast growth. Therefore, 8751
is replaced by AT89C51 to eradicate the waiting time required to erase the contents and
hence expedite the development time. To build up a microcontroller based system using
AT89C51, it is essential to have ROM burner that supports flash memory. Note that in Flash
memory, entire contents must be erased to program it again. The contents are erased by the
ROM burner. Atmel is working on a newer version of AT89C51 that can be programmed
using the serial COM port of IBM PC in order to get rid of the ROM burner

Table 1.2 – Versions of 8951 from Atmel (All ROM Flash)
Features of 8051
The main features of 8051 microcontroller are:
 RAM – 128 Bytes (Data memory)
 ROM – 4Kbytes (ROM signify the on – chip program space)
 Serial Port – Using UART makes it simpler to interface for serial communication.
 Two 16 bit Timer/ Counter
 Input/output Pins – 4 Ports of 8 bits each on a single chip.
 6 Interrupt Sources
 8 – bit ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)
 Harvard Memory Architecture – It has 16 bit Address bus (each of RAM and
ROM) and 8 bit Data Bus.
 8051 can execute 1 million one-cycle instructions per second with a clock
frequency of 12MHz.
This microcontroller is also called as “System on a chip” because it has all the features on a
single chip.

Figure 2. Block Diagram of 8051 Microcontroller
Memory Architecture
The 4 discrete types of memory in 8051 are:
i. Internal RAM –This memory is located from address 0 to 0xff. The memory locations
from 0x00 to 0x7F are accessed directly. The bytes from 0x20 to 0x2F are bit-addressable.
Loading R0 and R1 the memory location from 0x80 to 0xFF can easily accessed.
ii. Special Function Registers (SFR) – Located from address 0x80 to 0xFF of the memory
location. The same instructions used for lower half of Internal RAM can be used to access
SFR‟s. The SFR‟s are bit addressable too.
iii. Program Memory – This is read only memory which is located at address 0. With the
help of 16 bit Special Function Register DPTR, this memory can also save the tables of
constants.
iv. External Data Memory – Located at address 0. The Instruction MOVX (Move External)
should be used to access the external data memory.

History of 8051 and Key Developments:
Intel Corporation fabricated the 8 – bit microcontroller which was referred as MCS-51 in
1981. This microcontroller was also referred as “system on a chip” because it has 128 bytes
of RAM, 4Kbytes of ROM, 2 Timers, 1 Serial port, and four ports on a single chip. The CPU
can work for only 8bits of data at a time because 8051 is an 8-bit processor. In case the data
is larger than 8 bits then it has to be broken into parts so that the CPU can process
conveniently. Most manufacturers have put 4Kbytes of ROM even though the quantity of
ROM can be exceeded up to 64 K bytes.
Intel permitted other manufacturers to fabricate different versions of 8051 but with the
limitation that code compatibility should be maintained. This has added advantage that if the
program is written then it can be used for any version of 8051 despite of manufacturer.
As years passed by, the quality of technology surpassed the expectation of the greatest
minds, with gadgets becoming smaller, sleeker and more efficient. Microcontrollers were
seen as the answer to the requirements raised in advanced electronics.
This is the reason why manufacturers have now focused their production around the
following main developmental aspects:
i. Ease-of-use
ii. Market availability
iii. Less power usage
iv. Smaller processing power
v. More integrated features like RF and USB
vi. Smaller form factors

3.3.2 GSM Module-
GSM/GPRS module is used to establish communication between a computer and a GSM-
GPRS system. Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) is an architecture used for
mobile communication in most of the countries. Global Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is an
extension of GSM that enables higher data transmission rate. GSM/GPRS module consists of
a GSM/GPRS modem assembled together with power supply circuit and communication
interfaces (like RS-232, USB, etc) for computer. We are using GSM module :
Figure 4: GSM module Block Diagram
GSM/GPRS MODEM:
GSM/GPRS MODEM is a class of wireless MODEM devices that are designed for
communication of a computer with the GSM and GPRS network. It requires a SIM
(Subscriber Identity Module) card just like mobile phones to activate communication with the
network. Also they have IMEI(International Mobile Equipment Identity) number similar to
mobile phones for their identification. A GSM/GPRS MODEM can perform the following
operations:
1. Receive, send or delete SMS messages in a SIM.
2. Read, add, search phonebook entries of the SIM.
3. Make, Receive, or reject a voice call.
The MODEM needs AT commands, for interacting with processor or controller, which are
communicated through serial communication. These commands are sent by the

controller/processor. The MODEM sends back a result after it receives a command. Different
AT commands supported by the MODEM can be sent by the processor/controller/computer
to interact with the GSM and GPRS cellular network.
GSM/GPRS Module:
A GSM/GPRS module assembles a GSM/GPRS modem with standard communication
interfaces like RS-232 (Serial Port), USB etc., so that it can be easily interfaced with a
computer or a microprocessor / microcontroller based system. The power supply circuit is
also built in the module that can be activated by using a suitable adaptor.
Figure 5: GSM module
Mobile Station (Cell phones and SIM)
A mobile phone and Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) together form a mobile station. It is
the user equipment that communicates with the mobile network. A mobile phone comprises
of Mobile Termination, Terminal Equipment and Terminal Adapter.

Figure 6: Working of GSM.
Mobile Termination is interfaced with the GSM mobile network and is controlled by a
baseband processor. It handles access to SIM, speech encoding and decoding, signalling and
other network related tasks. The Terminal Equipment is an application processor that deals
with handling operations related to keypad, screen, phone memory and other hardware and
software services embedded into the handset. The Terminal Adapter establishes
communication between the Terminal Equipment and the Mobile Termination using AT
commands. The communication with the network in a GSM/GPRS mobile is carried out by
the baseband processor.
Difference between GSM mobile and GSM/GPRS module:
A GSM mobile is a complete system in itself with embedded processors that are dedicated
to provide an interface between the user and the mobile network. The AT commands are
served between the processors of the mobile termination and the terminal equipment. The
mobile handset can also be equipped with a USB interface to connect with a computer, but it
may or may not support AT commands from the computer or an external
processor/controller.
The GSM/GPRS module, on the other hand, always needs a computer or external
processor/controller to receive AT commands from. GSM/GPRS module itself does not
provide any interface between the user and the network, but the computer to which module is
connected is the interface between user and network.
An advantage that GSM/GPRS modules offer is that they support concatenated SMS which
may not be supported in some GSM mobile handsets. Also some mobile handsets can‟t
receive MMS when connected to a computer.

Applications of GSM/GPRS module:
The GSM/GPRS module demonstrates the use of AT commands. They can feature all the
functionalities of a mobile phone through computer like making and receiving calls, SMS,
MMS etc. These are mainly employed for computer based SMS and MMS services.
AT commands are used to control MODEMs. AT is the abbreviation for Attention. These
commands come from Hayes commands that were used by the Hayes smart modems. The
Hayes commands started with AT to indicate the attention from the MODEM. The dial up
and wireless MODEMs (devices that involve machine to machine communication) need AT
commands to interact with a computer. These include the Hayes command set as a subset,
along with other extended AT commands.
AT commands with a GSM/GPRS MODEM or mobile phone can be used to access
following information and services:
1. Information and configuration pertaining to mobile device or MODEM and SIM card.
2. SMS services.
3. MMS services.
4. Fax services.
5. Data and Voice link over mobile network.
The Hayes subset commands are called the basic commands and the commands specific to a
GSM network are called extended AT commands.
Command, Information response and Result Codes:
The AT commands are sent by the computer to the MODEM/ mobile phone. The MODEM
sends back an Information Response i.e. the information requested by or pertaining to the
action initiated by the AT command. This is followed by a Result Code. The result code tells
about the successful execution of that command.

Interfacing MODEM/Mobile phone with Windows platform:
The Windows (XP and lower versions) comes with an application called HyperTerminal for
data communication through serial port of the computer. The interfacing of the GSM/GPRS
module with the serial port of the computer involves following steps:
1) Connect RS-232 port of GSM module with the serial port of the computer. Insert a SIM card
in the module.
2) Open HyperTerminal from Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -
> HyperTerminal.
3) Enter a name for the connection and press OK.
4) Now select the communication port (COM) at which GSM module is connected.
5) Create a new connection set on HyperTerminal. Set parameters, like baud rate as 9600,
handshaking mode as none, parity bit as none, stop bit as 1 and data bit as 8.

3.3.3 GPS Module-
A GPS module is a device that uses global positioning system to determine the location of a
vehicle or person. GPS receivers are used to provide reliable navigation positioning and
timing services to the user at anytime and anywhere on the earth.This Global Positioning
System uses 24 to 32 satellites to provide the data to the receivers.When people talk about "a
GPS," they usually mean a GPS receiver. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is actually a
constellation of 27 Earth-orbiting satellites (24 in operation and three extras in case one fails).
The U.S. military developed and implemented this satellite network as a military navigation
system, but soon opened it up to everybody else.
Each of these 3,000- to 4,000-pound solar-powered satellites circles the globe at about
12,000 miles (19,300 km), making two complete rotations every day. The orbits are arranged
so that at anytime, anywhere on Earth, there are at least four satellites "visible" in the sky. A
GPS receiver's job is to locate four or more of these satellites, figure out the distance to each,
and use this information to deduce its own location. This operation is based on a simple
mathematical principle called trilateration. GPS receiver calculates its position on earth based
on the information it receives from four located satellites. This system works pretty well, but
inaccuracies do pop up. For one thing, this method assumes the radio signals will make their
way through the atmosphere at a consistent speed (the speed of light). In fact, the Earth's
atmosphere slows the electromagnetic energy down somewhat, particularly as it goes through
the ionosphere and troposphere.
Differential GPS (DGPS) helps correct these errors. The basic idea is to gauge GPS
inaccuracy at a stationary receiver station with a known location. Since the DGPS hardware
at the station already knows its own position, it can easily calculate its receiver's inaccuracy.
The station then broadcasts a radio signal to all DGPS-equipped receivers in the area,
providing signal correction information for that area. In general, access to this correction
information makes DGPS receivers much more accurate than ordinary receivers.
GPS module calculates the position by reading the signal that is transmitted by the satellites.
Each satellite transmits the messages continuously which contain time at which it was sent.
GPS receiver measures the distance to each satellite, based on the arrival time of each
message this information is used to calculate the Position of the GPS receiver.
The received raw late is converted for the user as LATITUDE, LONGITUDE etc.
There are several GPS module available in the market. we are going to use GPS module
SIM28ML.

Working of GPS module:
Figure 7. GPS module functions.
The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) has developed standards that describe
the interface between various marine electronic equipments. The standards allow marine
electronics to send information to computers and to other marine equipments.
GPS receivers also work on these NMEA Standards. Most of the computer programs and
devices which provide position and other related information expect the data to be in NMEA
format.

3.3.4 LCD
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module and find a wide range
of applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic module and is very commonly used in
various devices and circuits. These modules are preferred over seven segments and other
multi segment LEDs. The reasons being: LCDs are economical; easily programmable; have
no limitation of displaying special & even custom characters (unlike in seven
segments), animations and so on.
A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In this
LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. This LCD has two registers, namely,
Command and Data.
The command register stores the command instructions given to the LCD. A command is an
instruction given to LCD to do a predefined task like initializing it, clearing its screen, setting
the cursor position, controlling display etc. The data register stores the data to be displayed
on the LCD. The data is the ASCII value of the character to be displayed on the LCD. Click

3.3.5-PCB -
Figure 10. PCB layout.
A printed circuit board has pre-designed copper tracks on a conducting sheet. The pre-
defined tracks reduce the wiring thereby reducing the faults arising due to lose connections.
One needs to simply place the components on the PCB and solder them.
Materials required in PCB Designing:
 Over Head Projector sheet (known as OHP sheets) or a wax paper.
 Laser Printer.
 Electric Iron.
 Steel wool.
 Two plastic trays.

 Copper board/ PCB (eg: paper phenolic, glass epoxy, FR4, FR10, etc.)
 Black permanent marker.
 Etching solution (Ferric chloride).
 Drill machine
Step 1 : Prepare a layout of the circuit on any commonly used PCB designing software. A
layout is a design which interconnects the components according to the schematic diagram
(circuit diagram). Take a mirror image print of the layout on the OHP sheet using a laser
printer. Make sure that the design is correct with proper placement of the components. The
above PCB Layout is used for this project.
Step 2 : Cut the copper board according to the size of layout. A copper board is the base of
a PCB, it can be single layer, double layer or multi layer board.
Single layer copper board has copper on one side of the PCB, they are used to make single
layer PCBs, it is widely used by hobbyist or in the small circuits. A double layer copper
board consists of copper on both the sides of the PCB. These boards are generally used by the
industries. A multilayer board has multiple layers of copper; they are quite costly and mainly
used for complex circuitries like mother board of PC.
Step 3 : Rub the copper side of PCB using steel wool. This removes the top oxide layer of
copper as well as the photo resists layer if any.
Step 4 : Place the OHP sheet (wax paper) which has the printed layout on the PCB sheet.
Make sure that the printed/mirror side should be placed on the copper side of PCB.
Step 5 : Put a white paper on the OHP sheet and start ironing. The heat applied by the electric
iron causes the ink of the traces on the OHP sheet to stick on the copper plate exactly in the
same way it is printed on the OHP sheet. This means that the copper sheet will now have the
layout of the PCB printed on it. Allow the PCB plate to cool down and slowly remove the
OHP sheet. Since it is manual process it may happen that the layout doesn‟t comes properly
on PCB or some of the tracks are broken in between. Use the permanent marker and complete
the tracks properly.

Step 6 : Now the layout is printed on PCB. The area covered by ink is known as the masked
area and the unwanted copper, not covered by the ink is known as unmasked area. Now make
a solution of ferric chloride. Take a plastic box and fill it up with some water. Dissolve 2-3
tea spoon of ferric chloride power in the water. Dip the PCB into the Etching solution (Ferric
chloride solution, Fecl3) for approximately 30 mins. The Fecl3 reacts with the unmasked
copper and removes the unwanted copper from the PCB. This process is called as Etching.
Use pliers to take out the PCB and check if the entire unmasked area has been etched or not.
In case it is not etched leave it for some more time in the solution.
Step 7 : Take out the PCB wash it in cold water and remove the ink by rubbing it with steel
wool. The remaining area which has not been etched is the conductive copper tracks which
connect the components as per the circuit diagram.
Step 8 : Now carefully drill the PCB using a drilling machine on the pads.
Step 9 : Put the components in the correct holes and solder them

3.4 Program on keil :
Introduction to Micro vision Keil (IDE)
Concept of compiler: -
Compilers are programs used to convert a High Level Language to object code. Desktop
compilers produce an output object code for the underlying microprocessor, but not for other
microprocessors. I.E the programs written in one of the HLL like „C‟ will compile the code to
run on the system for a particular processor like x86 (underlying microprocessor in the
computer). For example compilers for Dos platform is different from the Compilers for Unix
platform.
So if one wants to define a compiler then compiler is a program that translates source
code into object code. The compiler derives its name from the way it works, looking at the
entire piece of source code and collecting and reorganizing the instruction. See there is a bit
little difference between compiler and an interpreter. Interpreter just interprets whole program
at a time while compiler analyzes and execute each line of source code in succession, without
looking at the entire program.
The advantage of interpreters is that they can execute a program immediately. Secondly
programs produced by compilers run much faster than the same programs executed by an
interpreter. However compilers require some time before an executable program emerges.
Now as compilers translate source code into object code, which is unique for each type of
computer, many compilers are available for the same language.

Results and Discussion
1. The circuit is working and showing LCD display as topic name ” Bus arrival system”.
2. It shows the current Latitude and Longitude of current location.

3. Its sends the location displayed on LCD to the number requesting for the location.
Above are working project results which can be improved by pointing different and fixed
coordinates as places and would provide the passenger with a place name e.g. for
latitude:N1901‟9225” Longitude:E07301‟0141 the place would be located as MGMCET bus
stand and the passenger would estimate the place where he is the time of Bus arrival.

Conclusions
 This paper proposes the bus tracking and predicts the bus arrival time with a
proposed system in it. This system is turn on and uses i.e. self calibrating and works
anywhere on earth and does not require a laboratory or artificial environment.
Having a GPS is truly an advantage you can determine your location, whether you
are travelling locally or in a foreign land and if you think you are lost, you can use
your GPS receiver to know your exact location.
 Monitoring driving behaviour, such as an employer of an employee, or a parent
with a teen driver are the other applications. It can also be used as an anti theft
system, asset tracking, in stolen vehicle recovery and wildlife tracking. GPS signal
works efficiently when it is in line of sight and it is unable to pass through solid
structures such as work indoors, underground, under the water, or under a dense
canopy of trees and it is difficult to determine the GPS signal when it‟s raining.
Other related devices in a vehicle such as sensors can be integrated in a vehicle.
 An intelligent tracking system can be formed by sensors installed in our vehicle
can report the vehicle information to our server.
ADVANTAGE: A Distributed Security Scheme for Ad Hoc Networks can be used and to
prevent this kind of attack by DOS. Such methodology will be studied to make this Real
Time Passenger Information System more robust. A novel data hiding technique, based on
Steganographic mechanism can also be used for security purposes. Here, the advantage lies in
the fact that computationally costly encryption-decryption mechanism is avoided, thus
making it suitable for a heterogeneous combination of processing elements, which are being
used in present system. Here, many processing elements e.g. Mobile phone etc. lacks the
processing power and battery power, which is required for traditional encryption-decryption
system.
DISADVANTAGE: As this system uses a combination of processing elements: PCs, Mobile
Phones etc., there is a possibility of the overall system malfunction due to a particular type of
attack, it is termed as Denial of Service (DoS) attack by malicious agents who might try to
disrupt the function of the system.
