Easy Navigation for passengers using Bus Alert System

Abstract

For most of the city public transport travelers, bus arrival time is a most important information. In the recent year
popularity of Bus alert system has been increased to avoid passengers excessively long waiting time at bus stops. The bus alert
system may contain ARM controller to process bus route information, RFID reader to read bus route and number arrive at
bus stop, LCD to display bus route, bus number and bus arrival status information. The aim of this paper is to get bus time
information and bus status like cancel or delay information for passengers who are available on the bus stop using wired and
wireless technologies achieved through RS485 and RFID communication. Programming has been developed in Keil
environment for ARM controller operation and MPLAB for PIC controller and VB programming for PC database to log the
status of bus.
