Analysis of Bus Tracking System Using GPS on Smartphones

چکیده
Public transport networks (PTNs) are difficult to use when the user is unfamiliar with the area they are traveling to. This is true for both infrequent users (including visitors) and regular users who need to travel to areas with which they are not acquainted. In these situations, adequate on-trip navigation information can substantially ease the use of public transportation and be the driving factor in motivating travellers to prefer it over other modes of transportation. However, estimating the localization of a user is not trivial, although it is critical for providing relevant information. I assess relevant design issues for a modular cost-efficient userfriendly on-trip Navigation service that uses position sensors. By helping travellers move from singleoccupancy vehicles to public transportation systems, communities can reduce traffic congestion as well as its environmental impact. Here, I describe our efforts to increase the satisfaction of current public transportation users and help motivate more people to ride. I can help existing riders and encourage new riders by enhancing the usability of public transportation through good transit traveler information systems. The motivation for every location based information system is: “To assist with the exact information, at right place in real time with personalized setup and location sensitiveness”. LOCATION-BASED services are increasingly important for modern mobile devices such as the Smartphone.An important feature of a modern mobile device is that it can position itself. Not only for use on the device but also for remote applications that require tracking of the device. Furthermore, tracking has to robustly deliver position updates when faced with changing conditions such as delays due to positioning and communication, and changing positioning accuracy. The realized system tracks pedestrian targets equipped with GPS-enabled devices.

In high dynamic conditions, using vector tracking loops instead of scalar tracking loops in GPS receivers is proved as an efficient method to compensate the performance. The Minimum Mean Squared Error detector as a multiuser detector is applied in the vector tracking loop for more reliability and efficiency. The Kalman filter does the two tasks of tracking and extracting the navigation data aft...
