Abstract

This system suggests a user-friendly online interface for accessing real-time routes and schedules of the bus. The system provides the most recent information about bus locations, routes, and anticipated arrival times by utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities. The technology continuously collects position data by installing GPS modules on buses and linking them to an IoT network. After that, the data is sent to a central server for processing and display. The web interface serves as the main point of contact for users, it displays the positions of buses in real-time on a map along with integrated route data. By seeing the real-time position and expected arrival time of approaching buses, passengers may easily plan their journeys by accessing the webpage from any device with an internet connection. In addition to reducing wait times, enhancing customer satisfaction levels, and facilitating better travel arrangements, this gives transportation authorities useful information for optimizing bus routes and schedules.
