Track My Bus - A Real-time College Bus Tracking & Management System

Abstract

Efficient transportation plays a crucial role in maintaining punctuality and safety within academic institutions. However, students and faculty often experience uncertainty regarding bus arrival times, resulting in delays and lost productivity. Track My Bus – A Real-Time College Bus Tracking and Management System addresses this challenge by offering an integrated digital platform for live bus monitoring. The proposed solution employs GPS for continuous vehicle location updates, Firebase for cloud-based data storage and synchronisation, and Flutter for developing a cross-platform mobile application. Drivers can securely share their live location and route status, while students and faculty receive instant updates and accurate Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) predictions at each stop. Role-based authentication through verified college email ensures data privacy and system integrity. By improving transparency, reducing waiting time, and enhancing communication between users and drivers, the system contributes to a more reliable and stress-free transportation experience on campus.
