Concept of the project

This project involves designing an Android app that notifies it's users the location of the bus and estimated arrival time

We make use of Java , Android API 10.0 and xml for programming

Embedded GPS devices that are fitted inside bus communicate to a central server and that server communicates with the smart phones via internet

Communication between client and server is handled using Java for PC and Android for smart phones

Introduction

The purpose of this project is to implement a Bus Arrival Predictor on the platform of Google Android that can provide relevant bus routes information with bus arrival time to users in order to explore the possibility and capability of the Google Android

App also uses Java portability function for PC application access

It is built using Android API 10.0, thus it can be installed on any phone having an android os

The developed App is based on a GPS device and will have a Google

Maps View display

Bus current position is collected and together with the up to date bus

schedules, a bus arrival time is calculated on the server

After the estimation information is sent to the client who has made

the request.

Need Of Bus Location And Arrival Time App In Android

Buses transportation system is one of the busiest systems in Mumbai, which carries lakhs of thousands of passengers per day.

People living in this fast changing world would likely to

spend lesser time to complete more jobs.

Therefore, people in Mumbai will not want to spend extra times on waiting buses and finding buses.

If we have a mobile device that can provide updated bus route information with bus arrival time based on your current location, it will definitely help us to manage our time efficiently and we can better time our plan.

The aim of this project is to develop an application on a mobile device running the Google Android platform and it provides relevant bus route information with bus arrival time prediction.

Software platform

JAVA + Android API 10.0

JAVA is a powerful programming language used for object oriented programming as well as classical programming

The Java is used in our project and the development is done on Android API 10.0. Android API 10.0 is internationally acclaimed for developing Application for any Android phone

Android API 10.0 platform includes an Android library and system image, as well as a set of emulator skins and more.

Android API 10.0 provides improved and extended support for Near Field Communications (NFC), to allow applications to interact with more types of tags in new ways. A new, comprehensive set of APIs give applications read and write access to a wider range of standard tag technologies.

Flowchart

GPS device reads bus location from satellite

Device sends read data to a Central Server

All data is converted to XML format

Central Server sends information to Mobile devices

Mobile data receives data when Requested

Performance parameters

Latency : Bus location Tracking and arrival time Tracking is real – time

Accuracy : Accuracy of recognition depends on the data sent by GPS device on bus and properly established network communication with central server

Security : Data is secured using encryption algorithms. This includes the data sent by GPS device on bus sent to central server

Portability : As the application is developed in JAVA (for pc) and android api (for mobile phones) , it is portable to almost any system supporting JVM and also to android smart phones.

Intuitiveness : The GUI developed for the software is made very intuitive and easy and understand so as to facilitate easy navigation.

Expected results

Bus Tracking must happen in real-time without noticeable lag and accuracy must be well over 96%

Database used for storing messages should be immune to injection attacks by using injection prevention techniques and coding styles

App should be easy to install and easy to operate

The GUI should be informative and must be self explanatory

Device should be connected to a central network to facilitate continued service and easy upgradation.

Conclusion

Thus we have successfully presented the implementation idea of Bus location and arrival time app in Android

Future Scope

Bus location and arrival time app in android can be used for research purposes by organizations or institutions to learn about what a person looks at most in a day.

This can be used to provide information specific to those area to the particular customer on his/her next visit to the software

SMS can also be sent to the user in case of App upgradation or any news regarding bus services

Applications

Natural User Interface Technologies

Assists You In Your Travels Around Mumbai

Gives Detailed bus stop information - routes/map location/direction

Easy enough to launch whilst waiting for your bus.
