In order to facilitate the introduction of transmit tracking and arrival time prediction in smaller tranasit agencies, we search an Andriod-based system which we call Tracker. To use tracker, a transit agency should obtain smartphones, install an application, and place a phone or GPS in each transit vehicle. Our goal is to require no other input. This level of automation is possible due to a set of algorithms that use GPS traces collected from instrumented transit vehicles to decide routes served, find stops, and deduce schedules. The primary information to most city transport buses is arrival time. It often dishearten the passengers for excessively waiting long time at bus stops and makes them averse to take the public transport, travellers. To enable the passenger to track the vehicle or bus an electronic device is established in a vehicle is known as Vehicle tracking System. This paper suggest a bus arrival time prediction using GPS,GSM technology. It would work as theft protection system and inexpensive source of vehicle tracking. It is an system using GPS (Global Positioning System), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) and Microcontroller for tracking the travellers. The real time coordinates obtained from the GPS device will continually monitor a moving vehicle and report the position of the vehicle on request to passengers. The GPS/GSM unit is fix on the bus sends the data to the central monitoring system using the GSM module and show bus location name on the LCD. The status i.e Latitude and Longitude of a vehicle from distant place is sent by the GSM module to the Server and then the server calculates the ingress time of the bus and sends to the requested user through GSM module. A real-time vehicle tracking system uses a global positioning system (GPS) technology module to receive the location of the vehicle, to forward into microcontroller and to connect network by a general packet radio service (GPRS) technology for displaying a real time on the website or android map developed by Google Map which allows inspection of vehicles at all times. There are the GPS and GPRS modules, the GPS module will excavate the vehicles via the satellite, and will bring together all data and redirect it to the webapplication on student's device by a contoller. Here the system is handle by a bus in charge. It can notify students for several bus routes, timetables, bus location, etc. It also send notification to the students when data is updated. System also prevent to enter an unauthorized students in bus.

This paper proposes a Real-Time College Bus Tracking Application which runs on Android smart phones. This enables students to find out the location of the bus so that they won't get late or won't arrive at the stop too early. The main purpose of this application is to provide exact location of the student's respective buses in Google Maps besides providing information like bus details, driver details, stops, contact number, routes, etc. This application may be widely used by the college students since Android smart phones have become common and affordable for all. It is a real time system as the current location of the bus is updated every moment in the form of latitude and longitude which is received by the students through their application on Google maps. The application also estimates the time required to reach a particular stop on its route. The application uses client-server technology

Many technologies have been developed around the world to make people's daily lives easier and better. All users can access Android, which is the newest and fastest-growing technology available today. Enduser adoption has increased significantly during the past few years. Based on the most recent GPS technology, the effort gives the bus management team and improved means of tracking bus location in real time, managing the schedule, and monitoring bus functioning. The suggested solution makes use of a database and is an entirely integrated online bus tracking system. It offers the ability to track the whereabouts of that specific bus on Google Maps. They get at the bus on time and are able to view details about the bus, including the schedule. This bus position monitoring system can also be used as an accident detection alarm system, a soldier tracking system, and many more applications with a few small hardware and software modification. Tracking a car entails using latitude and longitude, or GPS coordinates , to determine its whereabouts. The GPS coordinates of a place are what make it valuable. This approach performs admirably in outdoor settings. Projects involving this kind of vehicle monitoring system are widely utilized to track school buses, taxis and other automobiles.

Public transportation in many countries is being used as a means of transport for travelling and accordingly people would prefer these public transportation to be scheduled properly, on time and the frequency be increased for commuters to make good use of it. It has been found that quite an amount of research work has been carried out, in this sector, by way of using RFID technology in the public transportation systems towards the tracking of passengers when they board and exit buses. In addition research has also been carried out in using GPS towards the tracking of buses along with RFID technology at traffic lights, bus stops, intersections etc and displaying expected arrival times on LCD screen at bus stops along with their current positions. Taking these aspects into consideration, an intelligent mobile bus tracking system for the Jamaican Urban Transport Corporation as case study has been proposed which enables commuters towards tracking the bus of their choice and also knowing their expected arrival times. In addition to tracking, the proposed system also notifies the passengers on their mobile towards topping up of credit in their RFID enabled smart tickets for traveling, well ahead in time. The above System proposed has been validated using Android in this research which allows commuters towards tracking of buses and knowing the expected arrival time. In addition commuter been reminded on their Android mobile handset towards topping their credit on their ticket towards travelling. The above two solutions would alleviate the challenges faced by commuters in respect of referring to the static bus timetable or looking into LCD display screen which would inform the expected arrival time of the next bus. The implementation of the system has been carried out using Android emulator.
