A Real-Time Monitoring System for Enhanced Campus Transportation

Abstract

The university's transportation system digitalization will be a significant step forward in campus infrastructure management. Through that, we will improve the university bus transportation system in size, efficiency, and management level. This is our hardware and software solutions. Real-time Bus Visibility for Students and Faculty: By using GPS and RFID technology on each bus, students and faculty members can receive real-time location information for buses and see route assignment. At the boarding and disembarking stage, users will scan their RFID cards and provide administrators with data on student traffic and bus utilization. Students will benefit from details on bus schedules and routes ahead of time, alleviating long waits and uncertainty on bus assignments with the system. Also, administrators will have statistics about how many students are using each route so that they can allocate the buses and schedules according to the demand. RFID scanners will also discourage unauthorized use of transportation by identifying only registered students with a vehicle and ID to use the service. This project will ultimately help the university to provide better user experience for riders and streamline the transportation system for the administrators. The university community can therefore look forward to a much smoother and more reliable transportation experience of the transportation worker, as it continues to evolve along with the changing realities of everyday campus life, with a much higher level of convenience, safety, and data-driven decision-making.
