Online Monitoring for Public Transport using Mobile Applications

Abstract

Combined with the increasing density of mobile telephony in Brazil, the monitoring of bus routes and alert of possible dangers becomes a reality. In this context, a monitoring tool can support the safety of users and qualitatively improves the control of the location of collective vehicles. This work describes and exposes the relevance of using the system called Security System for Bus (SSBus). The SSBus consists of two pieces of software that were produced for Android and a web management system. The efficiency of this proposal was evaluated through experiments carried out in three Brazilian cities that use the third and fourth generation mobile communications networks. During the tests data were collected to generate statistics based on the precision of the implemented algorithm.

“…For the development of the research, the empirical propagation model called UFPA [25] was selected, which consists of several measurements carried out in the Amazonian region and is represented by (3).…”

“…Some new scenarios are presented through emerging concepts, such as smart cities and smart campuses, with the IoT being strongly present in both [1]. Practically, the IoT enables the deployment of intelligent sensor networks that allow the automation of mobility systems [2,3], better energy efficiency [4], rapid monitoring of health data [5], intelligent management of solid waste collection [6], etc., which are directly linked to the specificities and daily life of the scenarios in question.…”
