Bus tracking and Bus arrival time, location prediction system Prof A N Kaulage1, Anil Pingale2, Pooja Bhoite3 , Vijaylaxami Mankar4 , Pradip Yadav5 Department of Computer Engineering, Keystone School of Engineering Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, India. ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract - As we know that there are number of factors affecting bus travel time, such as departure time, work day, current bus location, number of links, number of intersections, passenger demand at each stop and traffic status of the urban network, etc. This paper presents a statistical approach to predict the public bus arrival time based on GPS information Management system. The most of the time wasted by the people is on waiting for buses on the bus stops which is really horrible. Thus it becomes essential to track the buses real location using GPS and provide passengers predicted time of bus arriving at the bus stop and also people must get the bus information like where the bus is, is it in traffic. On route being anywhere like in house or on road, this can be happening only by using mobile computing. And for getting information about bus on mobility device (Mobile phone) first it must be there at some central monitoring and control side that must be updated from time to time. But to being with, the survey has to be done to design the proposed system. Many researchers have paid a great contribution for the same since last decade but still the scopes for improvement continue. Thus this paper contains the survey of various real-time issues faced by people and some survey about the latest researches in the same field.
transportation service or enhance the service level. The problem is also faced by public transportation planners and operators. For example, the accurate prediction of bus arrival times and the timely dissemination of the information to transit users may reduce their wait time, and thus increase the service quality. As per the survey made by our team regarding the PMT bus public transport, we met many passengers on the bus stop and enquired for the troubles that they are facing currently. The troubles that the passengers are facing are as mentioned below: The first comes troublesome issue is about the passengers don’t have any idea exactly when the bus is going to reach their bus stop. So they don’t know till when they have to wait on bus stop for the bus.

INTRODUCTION In the current era we know that traffic plays an important role in modern urban society. Based on report from United Nations Population Division, there are almost 64 billion people will live in urban in 2050, and the annual growth rate is around 1.5% [1]. It will cause an obviously increase of trip demand. Because of the limitation of the traffic resources, those increments will lead to urban traffic congestion. Traffic congestion, already costing United Sates of American 87.2 billion USD in 2007, is only getting worse, according to a new report from the Texas Transportation Institute [2].In order to relieve the congestion, and provide buses on time for the passengers while waiting long time and passengers want be able to bus arrival time of their bus. Because of too much traffic in the road bus arrival time might be late and have to wait long time still bus arrived. Public transport is a shared passenger transportation service which is available for use by the general public.
Figure1. Bus breakdown Issue The second major issue is that the passengers are not aware about the bus for which passengers are waiting on the bus stop, is coming or not. Many passengers said that we waited for bus on the stop for around 1 hour and then came too know that the bus has broken down mid-way and there was no way to know about the running status of the bus. The third major issue passengers faced due to current PMT transport is that even if the bus destination station is the one which they are waiting for, still the bus routes are different for e.g. a bus from Hadapsar to Swargate has two routes to follow, and the passengers don’t really know which route the bus will be following. The passenger’s has to rely on the announcers of the bus stops for getting the information about the buses and the bus routes which is not always audible to traffic noise. So to resolve the issues faced be existing system problems and to overcome the disadvantages of the previous researches, the proposed system will be implemented.
The governments or public transport authorities are developing public transportation system. A key problem in the development process is to provide adequate public
