“BUS TRACKING SYSTEM”

Requirements Gathering

? What is GPS ?

? How it help passenger?

? Will it help company?

? Consumer/Passenger friendly?

Requirements Gathering Cont.

• GPS –Global Positioning System

• It keep track of vehicle location by VTS(vehicle tracking system) assembled on vehicle.

• It could be accessed over the Internet or a Server

What is GPS?

Customer Satisfaction

City bus traveller want buses they can count on to get them

where they need to go on Time. On Time Arrival

Consider the possibility of implementing GPS tracking

systems which allow customers to get bus location and other

information on mobile. Passenger Information System

Increases driver and passenger Safety.

With the use of GPS tracking systems, you can increase your

ability to operate a city-wide bus system that is stress free and

reliable for customers.

Company Satisfaction

Monitoring- If there's a specific bus route or driver causing delays

within the system, the problem can be easily identified and corrected,

saving time, financial resources, and maintaining customer

satisfaction.

Fuller Buses-It allow routine passengers to use Bus more often. For e.g.

if a passenger can verify his or her bus is running on time via their cell

phone they are more likely to ride bus.

Saving Fuel- By correcting the most inefficient routes in your system

Follow Traffic-By monitoring all instances of over-speeding & accidents.

Efficient route planning.

Stop unauthorized vehicle use.

Expedite stolen vehicle recovery.

Improve response time for any emergency situation.

INPUT

LOCATE POS 34 05.8779 N 118 20.6368 W ALT 377 FT SPEED 0.0 MPH COURSE 11.05 AT 08/04/05 22:31:51 UTC SATS 04This is a location report from the tracker. The fields are:

• LOCATE - the report is the result of a manual locate request.• POS 34 05.8779 N 118 20.6368 W - latitude and longitude in degrees and

decimal minutes.• ALT 377 FT - measured GPS altitude, only accurate for 4 or more satellites• SPEED 0.0 MPH - speed of the GPS unit when the fix was taken.• COURSE 11.05 - course in degrees if the unit was moving• AT 08/04/05 22:31:51 UTC- Year, month, day, hour, minute, second

Universal Coordinated Time• SATS 04 - number of satellites providing the fix. Four or more indicates a

3D fix (altitude valid) while three satellites indicates a less-accurate 2D fix.
