Abstract

The bus arrival time at bus stops in urban traffic environment is highly unpredictable. This is due to random fluctuations in travel demands and interruptions caused by traffic system, incidents, and weather conditions. Providing real-time bus arrival information would enhance the credibility of the public transit system and thus render it more competitive among various other transportation modes. With the emergence of Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies, traffic data collection can be performed more efficiently.In this paper we are implementing The “ADVANCED DISPLAY SYSTEM” to enhance the public transportation system by giving the prior information of the buses arriving towards the bus stop to the people waiting for the bus. It consists of two modules. The first one is In-bus module and second one is Bus stop module. The In-bus module integrates the GPS receiver, GSM Modem, Microcontroller and control switches. This module is mounted to the bus. The Bus stop module is integrated with GSM modem, Microcontroller and LED matrix display. This Bus-Stop module is mounted at the Bus stops. the microcontroller processes the SMS received by the GSM modem and displays it in the LED matrix display. In the LED matrix display the bus number, source, destination station names of the bus, current location name of the bus, the time at which the bus is at the current location, actual time will be displayed.
