PRACTICALLY GENIUS

PUBLIC TRANSPORT BUS TRACKING & TRACING SYSTEM NAME: VAISHNAVI GADEKAR

PROBLEM STATEMENTDue to ever-increasing population, even though the number of people travelling by bus is increasing , the number of people opting for their own vehicles is also increasing rapidly because of reasons such as inflexibility, time-constraint, uncertainty, waiting time, over-crowding in bus, incidents, etc.Therefore, there are major traffic congestions at rush hours on daily basis in the city.Pollution levels are increasing.

SOLUTION•Develop a mobile phone and/or web based app for bus tracking systems.•Install GPS systems in all the buses.•These applications will require the user to first configure their routes (eg: home to office/school/college and vice versa, etc.) so that the app can display all the buses on that route.•It will allow the users to navigate a certain bus using GPS and also calculate the ETA of a certain bus on a specified bus stop.•Displays can be installed on the Bus stops so that the people waiting there can know when the bus will arrive.

TECHNOLOGY•Application: End user application. Android/iOS and/or web application.• GPS system installed in buses which will give the exact co-ordinates of the bus at a given time and the direction in which the bus is heading. After computing this, the information will be transmitted to the server for further computations.•Server:1. It is used to maintain the data of all routes, the buses

which travel on the route and the bus stops where and when a certain bus stops.

2. Used to calculate ETA of the all the buses at the next bus stop.

3. To receive information about the speed of the bus and its location.

The server will maintain the information about the routes

and buses and bus stops using tables i.e RDBMS.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT•Convenience of commuting in the city without waiting and losing time.•Bus seats availability status at a given time.•Traffic management.•Rush hour bus deployments.•Navigation amenities and ETA of the bus at a stop.•Certainty of the arrival of bus.•Utility for time management and planning schedules, appointments, etc.•Pocket Friendly!

MARKET SIZE •Tier 1 cities in India along with almost 100 plus Tier 2 cities and all the other remaining cities which fall under the tier 3 cities are the addressable market for this product.•I have been talking just about Pune city but then we can expand our scope for all the cities in Maharashtra then India and then the developing South Asian countries. •Private bus operators.
