Project Report on Bus Tracker Via Gps Using Android Application

Abstract

Android is becoming very popular in embedded market for two main reasons. First, it is open source software; moreover, there are no royalty fees for java VM (virtual machine). Second deriving from the first, android is highly suitable for expansion as the developer sees fit. Being Computer Science Engineering Users ourselves, we have been motivated to develop this project for the benefit of the people masses, by the idea of providing an easier means of accessing various web resources related to the bus, thus providing them with a better, richer experience of travelling. Further, the recent advent and popularity of android technology motivates us to create an android application for the same. Our project is an application for smart phones that supports android operating system. It uses the GPS function, available in most of smart phones today, to pin point current location fairly accurate. The whole project is revolving around the tracking of public transport (i.e. ST Buses). In this project we having three modules i.e. Bus driver, customer & firebase database. As the name suggested Driver module is for the drivers. The driver will login through this module and after login it will insert the details of route. The whole details with the driver’s location are stored in the firebase database. The location co ordinates will continuously storing in data base. The next module is customer module, in this module the customer have to sign up and then login themselves. After login the user have to fill detail which is required for search the bus location, like sources address destination address. These details will used to search a current appropriate bus location. Here the role of third module plays important role. The whole database is manages here and serve for the use. The co ordinates of bus current location is continuously storing in database and serve it were its required.
