Future Transit Now
Agenda
• Introduction• Proof of Concept• Where the idea came from• Major Components• Recommendations• Conclusions• Questions & Answers• References
Introduction• Holistic Vehicle Tracking System– Adam Elliott
• Database Management– Christopher McNeil
• Web Development– Matthew Lillywhite
• Infrastructure– Taylor Kinsella
Proof of Concept• Hardware capable of tracking geographical
position and sending over cellular network• Server capable of accepting data send from
hardware and log into database• Web server used by transit customers to
query database • Plotted on interactive google map• Login registration and favourite route• Password encryption / best practices
Where Did the Idea Originate?• All Calgary Public Transit users can relate• Inconsistent scheduling times• Weather deterred
Major Project Components• Server, services and virtualization• Network, routing and port forwarding• Hardware module (Arduino)• Website development• Database development & selection

Website Development
Transit Buddy with Integrated Google Map
Database Development• Microsoft SQL• My SQL• Microsoft Access• Calgary Transit .CSV imports• Salting and hashing
Database Development
Database Design
Recommendations• Device be duplicated and field tested using a
single route by Calgary Transit.• Arduino Mega to a “Teensy” development board• Circuit boards and programming chips on a
larger scale• Script to update database daily to show which
busses are servicing which routes.• Moving to C++ or C#
Conclusions• Proof of concept• 6 million line database• Arduino module with GPS and GSM• Responsive web design (CSS)• Integrated google map• Use of PHP and python• MySQL over MS SQL
