Abstract : This project is a GPS (Global Positioning System) based system which helps passengers to know the expected time of arrival of the bus to their prospective halt or a particular location using present GPS data of the passenger and the bus. Within the ‘Bus Tracking and Arrival Prediction System’, each bus has a GPS tracker to track the bus. GPS tracker on the bus is used to locate the bus its coordinates and the speed of the bus are pushed on to the server to calculate an accurate arrival time to a user desired destination. Moreover, the server uses the received information on buses location and speed to identify the moving patterns. So, the owners of the private buses or the relevant authorities can monitor the moving pattern of their fleet and will be able to give feedback to the users. All system information is maintained in a database. Stored information will help to develop better algorithms in the future on predicting more accurate arrival time of their next bus service to the passengers.
