Tracking System for Urban Buses with People Flow Management

This work provides an onboard electronic solution and commercial application to improve in quality of service of the public transport by creating efficient routes. A prototype based on a microcontroller was created which receives data from a GPS; the microcontroller collects useful data to count the people flow recorded by infrared sensors. After the gathering of the information, the microcontroller sends the information via Bluetooth to a remote personal computer which processes the data again and displays the route of vehicles.
