Public Transportation Monitoring and Management System
Existing Social Issue
The Bus Transportation Organization has announced that it has consistently faced significant challenges in passenger transportation, as well as in managing and monitoring its bus fleet.
Some of these issues include
- Lack of information about the arrival times of buses at each station, leading to passenger confusion.
- Inability to cover high-traffic routes during specific times.
- Lack of control and oversight of bus speeds.
- Insufficient monitoring of bus movements along designated routes.
Proposed Solution
To address these issues, the company proposed that the Bus Transportation Organization install GPS systems on all public transportation vehicles. By accurately tracking the geographical locations of buses and using a web-based software application, the organization can monitor real-time information about the buses and the drivers’ behavior. This software aids in route optimization, more precise scheduling, and enhanced oversight of vehicle performance. Passengers will benefit from access to accurate and up-to-date schedules and the exact location of buses, making their travel experience more convenient and predictable. Ultimately, implementing this system in the public transportation fleet will improve overall transportation efficiency, reduce delays, and increase user satisfaction.
Monitoring System
- Real-time tracking of bus movements on the map
- Identification of buses deviating from their designated routes
- Detection of buses that did not stop at intermediate stations
- Identification of buses that did not adhere to their schedules
- Detection of traffic hotspots and high-passenger-density areas
- Real-time monitoring of driver behavior, including speeding, illegal stops, erratic movements, and excessive acceleration
- Viewing emergency and critical alerts issued by any bus on the map
- Monitoring bus breakdowns and making decisions about replacements
- Tracking bus routes and managing fuel consumption
- Passenger Application:
- Ability to view bus arrival times for various routes at selected stations
- Ability to view the routes of different bus lines
