GPS and GSM modem Integration for Public Transport Management Services

This paper proposes the solution for improving the services provided by the transport management by using GPS and GSM modem integration. The system mainly consists of three modules. (1) Bus station module (2) Bus module (3) Base station module. The modules are connected to PC and GSM modem. The initial information containing the bus number and license plate from bus station module is sent to bus module and base station module using SMS. The location of the bus and number of passengers in the bus is transmitted to the base station with the help of the microcontroller based bus module, consisting mainly of GPS receiver and GSM modem. The base station module consists of a microcontroller unit and GSM modems interfaced to PC’s so that to track the records of every bus, processes user request about a particular bus location out of bus station and updates buses location. Hence the transport service department needs to check the performance and services provided by them to common people. This developed system will help common people to use more services of transport management.
