Analysis of Bus Tracking System Using GPS on Smartphones

摘要

Public transport networks(PTNs)are difficult to use when the user isunfamiliar with the area they are traveling to.This is true for both infrequentusers(including visitors)and regular users who need to travel to areas withwhich they are not acquainted.In these situations,adequate on-trip navigationinformation can substantially ease the use of public transportation and be thedriving factor in motivating travelers to prefer it over other modes oftransportation.However,estimating the localization of a user is nottrivial,although it is critical for providing relevant information.I assessrelevant design issues for a modular cost-efficient user-friendly on-tripNavigation service that uses position sensors.By helping travelers move fromsingle-occupancy vehicles to public transportation systems, communities canreduce traffic congestion as well as its environmental impact.Here,I describeour efforts to increase the satisfaction of current public transportation usersand help motivate more people to ride.
