Analysis of Bus Tracking System Using GPS on Smartphones
Public transport networks(PTNs)are difficult to use when the user is
unfamiliar with the area they are traveling to.This is true for both infrequent
users(including visitors)and regular users who need to travel to areas with
which they are not acquainted.In these situations,adequate on-trip navigation
information can substantially ease the use of public transportation and be the
driving factor in motivating travelers to prefer it over other modes of
transportation.However,estimating the localization of a user is not
trivial,although it is critical for providing relevant information.I assess
relevant design issues for a modular cost-efficient user-friendly on-trip
Navigation service that uses position sensors.By helping travelers move from
single-occupancy vehicles to public transportation systems, communities can
reduce traffic congestion as well as its environmental impact.Here,I describe
our efforts to increase the satisfaction of current public transportation users
and help motivate more people to ride.Comment: PP.80-8
