Research Article on School Bus Tracking System

Abstract

Bus is a common transport used by public people for daily commutation. The word “tracking” refers identifying the location of a person or an object which remains affecting after unique position toward added. Tracking systems are useful when there is a suspicious movement done by a person. This type of system is useful to track the movement of kidnappers when a kid or an eminent person is kidnapped or sometimes to track the movement of wild animals also these systems are used. If a device is attached with global positioning system (GPS), then it is easy to locate the device. Similarly, this can be attached to any of the physically existing object or on a human being if at all required to track down the location.

This paper does an in depth survey on the current technologies used in the bus tracking system and proposes a new methodology using IOT devices to track the path of the bus used. Many research works are carried on this topic and some of bus tracking systems are developed using GPS, smart phones. To track the path of the buses Google Map can be used so that path used by the bus is the correct track towards spread the end point point after the foundation. The real time application of such systems can be employed for school buses or general transport buses so that if the bus is hijacked, met with some accidents can be identified, bus is arriving late or early.
