Smart public transport system with route optimization

Smart public transport system with route optimization / Tan Jing Hung
Pada masa kini, pengangkutan adalah keperluan untuk warga bandar. Cara perjalanan yang paling biasa bagi mereka adalah pengangkutan awam seperti bas. Dalam sistem pengangkutan bas awam, terdapat kekurangan maklumat masa sebenar kepada para penumpang. Bas sering ditangguhkan di kawasan bandar disebabkan oleh keadaan lalu lintas pada waktu puncak. Masa tangguh dan menunggu lama tidak cekap dan membuang masa untuk pelancong. Pengalaman para pelancong dapat ditingkatkan jika maklumat masa nyata sistem bas seperti lokasi saat ini, perkiraan waktu ketibaan ke stesen yang ditetapkan dan kondisi lalu lintas disediakan dengan akses yang lebih mudah bagi para penumpang. Dengan maklumat yang disediakan, pengguna akan dapat mencari pilihan alternatif untuk bas bergantung kepada keadaan. Sistem pengangkutan pintar telah dicadangkan di mana pelancong dapat memperoleh maklumat masa sebenar bas dengan aplikasi telefon bimbit. Dalam senario ini, sistem berasaskan Sistem Penentududukan Global (GPS) direka untuk mengenal pasti lokasi bas dan menghantarnya ke kedai pangkalan data di Firebase Realtime Database melalui rangkaian tanpa wayar. API Peta Google digunakan untuk mendapatkan laluan yang dioptimumkan dan paparan di peta dalam aplikasi telefon pintar. Oleh itu, pengguna akan dapat memantau secara berterusan kenderaan yang bergerak mengikut permintaan menggunakan aplikasi Smartphone dan menentukan jarak dan masa yang dianggarkan untuk kenderaan itu tiba di destinasi tertentu. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nowadays, transportation is a necessity for urban area citizen. The most common travelling means for them are public transports such as bus. In public bus transportation system, there is a flaw of lack of real time information to the passengers. Buses are often delayed in urban area due to the traffic condition during peak hour. The delay and long waiting period are inefficient and time wasting for the travelers. The experience of the travelers can be improved if real time information of the bus system such as current location, estimate time arrival to the designated station and traffic condition are provided with easier access for the passengers. With the provided information, travelers will be able to find alternate choices for buses depending of the circumstances. A smart transportation system has been proposed where travelers able to obtain real time information of the buses with mobile phone application. In this present scenario, a Global Positioning System (GPS) based system is designed to identify the location of the bus and send it to a database store at Firebase Realtime Database via wireless network. The Google Maps API is used to get the optimized route and display on the map in the Smartphone application. Thus, users will be able to continuously monitor a moving vehicle on demand using the Smartphone application and determine the estimated distance and time for the vehicle to arrive at a given destination.
