Construcción de un prototipo de sistema de visualización del tiempo aproximado de llegada de los autobuses a las paradas

Abstract

The main objective of the project “Construction of a Prototype System Display Approximate Arrival Time of Bus at Stops” is the introduction of a possible solution to the lack of information that bus stops show at this moment. Because lack of information represents some issues to passengers’ like concern, doubts, stress and disorientation. This system uses some electronic devices like GPS modules, microcontrollers, LED screens, GSM modules, etc. Specifically, this idea proposes the installation of information LED screens in every bus stop in order to the passengers be able to watch the approximate arrival time of bus at stops. Also, a GPS module is installed in every bus for the purpose of obtain speed and distance information of the vehicle. This information is going to be transmitted from the vehicle to stops by using text messages through the GSM red.
