IMPLEMENTATION OF UNCONSCIOUS BUS LOCATION SENSING SYSTEM WITH SMARTPHONE DEVICES AND BLUETOOTH MODULE

G. Merline

Abstract :

The unconscious bus location sensing system is implemented using bluetooth technology. It demonstrates a new unconscious sensing system for bus location. This system is a new type of application based on participatory sensing systems. However, it can perform sensing operation with user’s operation. Therefore, it can employ the mechanism to realize practical application such as bus location systems. This sensing system consists of a bluetooth device and a smartphone application. The bluetooth device is installed on a bus to activate the smartphone application. The smartphone application can upload a bus location when it detects the bluetooth device. The demonstration shows a prototype system for a bus location system based on the new participatory sensing mechanism. Many developments have recently made noticeable changes in several domains. This system will allow half blinded people to safely catch buses with the help of smartphone device and a tactile interface through a wireless communication system between the transmitter and the receiver. They will know the opportunity to get information about bus arrival and departure time as well as assist the bus operator to know the presence of half blinded people on the road. The motivation behind is that buses are vital in enabling half blind people to participate fully in society, access to facilities and services.
