ABSTRACT
It is very important to reduce the passenger waiting time at city bus stops, when bus time tables are unknown to passengers. In order to reduce the waiting time, passengers would have to obtain live time tables for any City bus stop. To achieve this complicated task, we propose a new City Bus location and route navigation system using smart phones by using ICT (Information and Communication Technology). The system is able to easily retrieve information about bus locations by GPS. In addition the system also provides shortest walking route to the nearby bus stop. The system relays data about the current location of a City Bus to the Smartphone user (passenger). As such, even without knowing the entire time table, the system enables the users to get on a City Bus easily by showing the current location information of a Bus in real time. By using this system, we can expect an improvement of user convenience especially for Bus lines that have long operational intervals.
