The project designed is very useful for the people who rely upon the public transport for transportation especially on public bus. In this, the bus is equipped with GSM based processor and each bus stop is equipped with data transmitter, so that the passenger can identify at what time the bus has reached a particular stop. Based on this information, the passenger can estimate the position of bus. This information can be known by sending SMS to the GSM which is installed in the bus. This project consists of two bus stops which are equipped with a data transmitting unit each. This unit contains a modulator which is interfaced with microcontroller and the bus stop code gets transmitted. This data is transmitted continuously through IR sensor transmitter. The bus is equipped with a TSOP, RTC, GSM, LCD and Microcontrollers. The real time is read from the RTC by the controller and is displayed continuously on the LCD. Whenever the bus reaches any stop, the code of the particular stop will be acquired through TSOP (IR sensor package) and it will be stored into the ROM of main processing unit along with the time. The GSM module will send the information about the time along with the name of the bus stop to the requested user in the form of SMS. If any passenger wants to know the position of a bus, a SMS should be sent to the concern GSM processor installed in the bus, so the time information will be sent to requested user automatically. Here the system is developed for only two stops, but for implementing practically every bus stop must be equipped with the data transmitter units and every bus with the time processing unit. In this way all buses information can be acquired by sending SMS through mobile.
