Prediction Of Bus Arrival Time Using Global Positioning System(GPS)

Buses are the most economical form of public transport available. Bus services are ubiquitous in cities and have proved themselves to be an excellent means of transport; however, the only problem associated with buses is that no one knows the exact arrival time of the bus at a particular stop. Instead of waiting for buses, passengers would prefer knowing the arrival time of bus at their desired bus stop so that they can plan their journey accordingly. Thus, for the convenience of commuters, this application is proposed, which continuously tracks the locations of the bus using GPS, and then calculates the approximate time required by the bus to reach the stop including the traffic analysis and various other parameters.
