Introduction
In today’s world, time is money. Because of the unpredictable traffic conditions these days, the people using chartered bus services waste precious time waiting for the bus at their respective stops. So there is a need for an early warning system, for the approaching transportation vehicle.
This early warning system would provide automatic alerts to passengers corresponding to their respective bus stops. These alerts would be in the form of SMS to the passengers on their registered mobile numbers. So the passengers can reach their stop just in time and board the bus without any waiting.
The alert system would be fully automatic without any need for interaction with the bus driver or passengers. The passengers would only need to register on a central website their mobile number, the bus for which they would like to get the alert, their stop and the time when they would like to get the alert.
Specification
User
User is the passenger who would like to receive the service. The user would be required to register on a website hosted on the central server. He would have to provide his mobile number, bus number, bus stop and time in case of multiple routes of the same bus through the same stop.
Server Operator
He will manage the bus routes on the central server. New Chartered buses will be introduced into the central server by the server operator. So in nutshell, he will do the upkeep and maintenance of the central server.
Bus Module It consists of a GPS system to get the current location of the bus and a GPRS system to send the location data along with the bus number to the central server. Also we require an interface between the two so that they can interact. So we can use a GPS/GPRS enabled phone to send the location data to the central server. So we will need to develop an application for this interface.
GPS Receiver
GPRS Sender (to Central Server)
Interface (Mobile Phone)
Central Server
This is the main operating unit. It will store all the user accounts and bus routes. It will receive GPRS signals from the Bus Modules every 5 seconds and depending on the bus number and the location of the bus it would send the required SMS alerts to the Users registered for that stop. So this unit will have a module for GPRS receiving and also a module for sending SMSs.
