Problem Statement

College students often face several problems with daily bus transportation:

  • Missing the Assigned Bus
  • College buses are assigned to specific routes every day.
  • Sometimes students miss their assigned bus from their designated stop.
  • In such situations, students may need to travel to another stop or route to catch the same bus.
  • Without knowing the bus's current location, students cannot determine whether they can reach the bus before it leaves the next stop.

  • FleetTrack allows students to view the real-time bus location and make an informed decision about whether they can catch the bus at the next stop or route.

  • Uncertainty About Bus Arrival

  • Students often have to reach the bus stop early because they do not know the exact location of the bus.
  • This can result in unnecessary waiting at the bus stop.

  • Real-time location tracking can help students determine when they should leave for the bus stop.

  • Daily Bus Chart and Seat Reservation

  • Near the start of the college session, students often need to visit the college bus stand to check the daily bus/seat allocation chart.
  • The chart is displayed on a physical notice board and may need to be checked manually every day.
  • This can lead to large crowds around the notice board.
  • Some students may even leave their classes to check the chart early and reserve seats before others.
  • FleetTrack can provide the daily bus and seat allocation information digitally, reducing the need to physically visit the bus stand.

Goal

FleetTrack aims to make college transportation more convenient by providing:

  • Real-time bus location tracking.
  • Better visibility of bus routes and stops.
  • Digital access to daily bus allocation information.
  • Reduced crowding around physical bus charts.
  • Less unnecessary waiting at bus stops.
  • Better decision-making when students miss their assigned bus.
