Abstract
Resource and time management is very crucial in everyday living. To avoid economic loss, non-renewable resources, such as fuel, must be managed effectively. This problem must be addressed with a proper solution. A bus is a common method of transportation in everyday life that provides a low-cost way to go from point A to point B. But there are also some problems related to this, like often valuable time of passengers getting wasted waiting for their bus without knowing the bus's predicted arrival time and position, as well as also if we look at the management side, managing the fleet is itself a tedious task. Every bus fleet organization must assure the safety of its passengers, and a reliable and secure transportation service is required. The proposed system provides real-time data of a variety of vehicle features, including location, route, speed, passenger list, and driver compliance, schedule and more. In this system, we use the Raspberry Pi 3b+ to connect GPS, RFID, and PIR technologies to a Firebase server Cloud over WiFi. The vehicle's current geographic coordinates are determined using a Neo 6M GPS module. PIR sensor module is used to get a count of passengers in the vehicle. An RFID card Module is used to track passengers for fare calculation and with perspective of the safety and security of passengers. All the data from the used module is sent over the real-time database which we have used at firebase and the data can be accessed by the passengers, fleet manager, and the driver by using a website. A website is used to show all the data to the passengers and also to the fleet manager who is managing the bus and the drivers.
