Smart Bus Station-Passenger Information System

Smart Bus Station-Passenger Information System The people who use inner city public transportation vehicles want to get information about the current status of the public transportation vehicles and they want to know the travel time of the vehicles both while travelling and waiting at the bus stops. In this study, a smart bus stop-passenger information system was developed in order to enable administers effectively monitor the public transportation system and also enable the people who utilize this system simultaneously observe the information about the location and status of those vehicles. In the designed system, the embedded mini-computer based systems and digital monitors were used in order to instantly present the information related to the travel and transportation in the public transportation vehicles. The instant movement information of the vehicle was transferred to the central server through a GPS module which functions integrated to the embedded computer systems and web services. Moreover, the embedded mini-computer based systems and digital monitors were installed to the bus stops in order to present the information related to the movements of the public transportation vehicle and their approach to the related bus-stop. The mini-computers embedded on the bus stops provide communication with the central server through web services and the bus stops, public transportation vehicles and central server formed information network of the transportation. The software developed to manage the system provided the authorities the advantages of instant status observation, remote-informing and updating related to the management of the status and travel of the public transportation vehicles. Through this developed system, moreover, it was ensured that the position and travel information of the vehicles through the monitors both inside the public transportation vehicles and at the bus stops, increase the life qualities of the people who use the public transport vehicles and facilitate their urban life cycles.
