Public transportation systems often face challenges in real-time tracking of buses, monitoring seat availability, and managing ticketing efficiently. This project introduces a GPS-based bus tracking system that integrates touch sensors for seat availability detection and an RFID-based ticketing system, ensuring a smarter and more convenient travel experience for passengers. The system consists of touch sensors installed on each seat to detect occupancy, an RFID module to register passengers' entry and exit, and a GPS module to track the bus location. An ESP32 microcontroller collects data from these components and updates the real time information to Google Sheets via the Google Sheets API. This allows transport authorities and passengers to monitor bus locations and seat availability through a web-based dashboard or a mobile application. The RFID based ticketing system eliminates the need for traditional paper tickets, ensuring a cashless and efficient travel experience. When a passenger scans their RFID card, their journey details, including bus entry, exit, and fare deduction, are automatically logged in the database. Meanwhile, the touch sensors continuously monitor seat occupancy, updating the system whenever a passenger sits or leaves. This smart transportation system enhances operational efficiency, reduces manual errors, and provides a data-driven approach for transport management. Future improvements can include AI-based predictive analytics for passenger flow optimization, mobile app integration, and automated route scheduling to enhance urban mobility further.
