Real-time transit tracking system to evolve and facilitate the transportation process at the Applied Science University

Travel and transportation are important for most people and play a major role in the human life; therefore this paper describes a prototype system called eBus which is a tracking system for campus buses at the Applied Science University. This system consists of two parts an Android application that is used by both the driver and the student which provides the ability for the students to track the buses’ movements on a specific route and show their information on the map and it also enables the bus driver to see the students’ locations on the map. The second part of the system is a windows application that is used by the transportation manager, the application allows the transportation manager to control & monitor the transportation system, enables him to monitor the buses’ movements, modify users, and notify him about the bus status. So, the main objective of our developed system is to facilitate the way of interactivity among the three actors (transportation manager, student, and bus driver) which make the transportation system convenient to use, more effective and efficient.
