This paper proposes and implements a solution for enhancing public transportation management services based on GPS and GSM. Travel time information is a vital component of many intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications. In recent years, the number of vehicles in India has increased tremendously, leading to severe traffic congestion and pollution in urban areas, particularly during peak periods. A desirable strategy to deal with such issues is to shift more people from personal vehicles to public transport by providing better service (comfort, convenience and so on). In this proposed system we introduced advanced public transportation systems (APTS) for public service. Advanced public transportation systems (APTS) are one of the most important ITS applications, which can significantly improve the traffic situation in India. One such application will be to provide accurate information about bus arrivals to passengers, leading to reduced waiting times at bus stops. This needs a real-time data collection technique, a quick and reliable prediction technique to calculate the expected travel time based on real-time data and informing the passengers regarding the same. The scope of this proposed system is to use global positioning system data collected from public transportation buses on urban roadways in the city of Chennai, India, to predict travel times. The performance of the proposed system is found to be promising and expected to be valuable in the development of advanced public transportation systems (APTS) in India. The work presented here is one of the first attempts at real-time short-term prediction of travel time for ITS applications in Indian traffic conditions.

WRTS: Wireless Sensor Based Real Time Traffic Information SystemEditor IJCATR
Due to increasing traffic density, driving takes longer time within cities than in highways. The situation is worse in
peak hours, when people travel from home to offices and vice versa. Emergency services, like ambulance services, fire brigade,
police service etc., are directly affected due to increased traffic density. The existing traffic monitoring techniques will fail to
provide real time traffic information to the user. India is known for billion populations and like in majority of developing
countries like Indian roads are non-lane based and it has chaotic traffic. The existing traffic monitoring techniques are mainly
infrastructure based system. Which is expensive and it requires constant maintenance. This paper focuses on fetching real time
traffic information which is infrastructure less based system which is inexpensive in nature and it is also reachable to a normal
person, like fetching real time traffic information from user who carry smart phones which play a role of sensor during their
travel. This leads to building of wireless sensor network of mobiles.

Intelligent Bus Tracking System Using AndroidAM Publications
Intelligent bus tracking system using android is an application that tracks a bus and collects the distance to each station. Tracking system involves the installation of an electronic device in a bus, with an installed Android App on any smart phone to enable a user to track the bus location. There are two applications one for server and other for the client. The user can get flexibility of planning travel using the app, to decide on which bus to take or when to catch the bus. The waiting time of the user can be reduced. By using this application user get the information about buses, bus numbers, bus route, bus arrival and bus delay timing information etc [1]. It provides information about which bus coming to the stop. By the presently existing system we are dealing with three terminals, a device on bus, a device at bus stop and a device on the master bus stand so as to keep the track on the all city busses. By employing this tracking system the arrival of the bus is detected near the bus stop and also can be seen on the PC at the master bus stop. GSM modem can also transmit the bus information to the registered mobile numbers. Hence, we can control the bus traffic and can detect the arrival of particular bus at the bus stop.

Intelligent Collision avoidance and monitoring system for railway using wirel...Editor IJMTER
In the current railway systems, it is becoming ever more necessary to have safety
elements in order to avoid accidents. One of the important causes that can provoke serious accidents
is the existence of obstacles on the tracks, either fixed or mobile. This project deals about one of the
efficient methods to avoid train collision and obstacle detection. A GPS system is being used to
pinpoint the location of faults on tracks. The project presents a solution, to provide an intelligent
train tracking and management system to improve the existing railway transport service. The solution
is based on powerful combination of mobile computing, Global System for Mobile Communication
(GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies and software. The inbuilt GPS module
identifies the train location with a highest accuracy and transfers the information to the central
system. The availability of the information allows the train Controller to take accurate decisions as
for the train location. Positioning data along with train speed helps the central system to identify the
possible safety issues and react to them effectively using the communication methods provided by
the system.
Improving traffic and emergency vehicle clearance at congested intersections ...IJECEIAES
Traffic signals play an important role in controlling and coordinating the traffic movement in cities especially in urban areas. As the traffic is exponentially increasing in cities and the pre-timed traffic light control is insufficient in effective timing of the traffic lights, it leads to poor traffic clearance and ultimately to heavy traffic congestion at intersections. Even the Emergency vehicles like Ambulance and Fire brigade are struck at such intersections and experience a prolonged waiting time. An adaptive and intelligent approach in design of traffic light signals is desirable and this paper contributes in applying fuzzy logic to control traffic signal of single four-way intersection giving priority to the Emergency vehicle clearance. The proposed control system is composed of two parallel controllers to select the appropriate lane for green signal and also to decide the appropriate green light time as per the real time traffic condition. Performance of the proposed system is evaluated by using simulations and comparing with pre-timed control system in changing traffic flow condition. Simulation results show significant improvement over the pre-timed control in terms of traffic clearance and lowering of Emergency vehicle wait time at the intersection especially when traffic intensity is high.
Speed and Position Control of Train Sytem Using GPS IOSR Journals
The passengers face some problems regarding the arrival time of the train and they go on asking the
ticket checkers about the arrival. This creates trouble to the ticket checker to keep answering thousands of
passengers who are boarding the train. The GPS (Global Positioning System) gives the position of any object on
which it as placed with respect to the latitude and longitude of the earth. This technique would be helpful in tracking
the exact location of the train and as well the speed of the moving object. Some of the human activities causing
accidents include railway level crossing during the approach of train, misplaced fish plates and high speed at places
where speed should actually be less. So the system designed here which is called as ATCS (Advanced train control system) helps in reducing the accidents to an extent.
Design of an adaptive sign based routing protocol in vanet for sophisticated ...IJARIIT
With the advancement in the communication technology and an increase in the number of vehicles, the Vehicle Ad
hoc Network (VANET) has become an emerging field of study. The major applications of VANETs are in highways, but in
sophisticated environments such as forest area, hill stations, private museum or large park etc., where visitors across the
country pass through several locations, and there doesn’t exist a proper communication among the vehicles. So in this type of
locations, we need an intelligent routing strategy for the On Board Unit (OBU) to adapt and communicate with the
neighbouring vehicles. In this paper, a strategy is proposed where in, the vehicles communicate with each other or with the
road side units (RSU) by passing some sign bits with positive or negative polarity. A simple simulation is performed on 100 to
200 vehicles demonstrating passing of data from source to destination.

Real Time Vehicle Monitoring Using Raspberry Pi Albin George
An advanced vehicle monitoring and tracking system based on Embedded Linux Board and android application is designed and implemented for monitoring the school vehicle from any location A to location B at real time. The proposed system would make good use of new technology that based on Embedded Linux board namely Raspberry Pi and Smartphone android application. The proposed system works on GPS/GPRS/GSM SIM900A Module which includes all the three things namely GPS GPRS GSM. The GPS current location of the vehicle; GPRS sends the tracking information to the server and the GSM is used for sending alert message to vehicle’s owner mobile. The proposed system would place inside the vehicle whose position is to be determined on the web page and monitored at real time. In the proposed system, there is comparison between the current vehicle path and already specified path into the file system of raspberry pi. Here in the proposed system the already specified path inside the raspberry pi’s file system taken from vehicle owner’s android smartphone using android application. Means the selection of path from location A to B takes place from vehicle owner’s android application which gives more safety and secures traveling to the traveler. Hence the driver drives the vehicle only on the vehicle owner’s specified path. If the driver drives the vehicle on the wrong path then the alert message will be sent from the proposed system to the vehicle’s owner mobile and also speakers alert driven using Raspberry pi’s audio jack. If the vehicle’s speed goes beyond the specified value of the speed, then also the warning message will be sent from system to the owner mobile. The proposed system also took care of the traveler’s safety by using LPG Gas leakage sensor MQ6 and temperature sensor DS18B20.

Challenges and Proposed Solutions for Cloud ForensicIJERA Editor
Cloud computing is a heavily evolving topic in information technology (IT). Rather than creating, deploying and managing a physical IT infrastructure to host their software applications, organizations are increasingly deploying their infrastructure into remote, virtualized environments, often hosted and managed by third parties. Due to this large scale, in case an attack over the network of cloud, it’s a great challenge to investigate to cloud. There is a very low research done to develop the theory and practice of cloud forensic. The investigator has huge challenge of getting the IP address of the culprit as there is dynamic IP in cloud computing. Also one among many problems is that the customer is only concerned of security and threat of unknown. The cloud service provider never lets customer see what is behind "virtual curtain" which leads customer more doubting for the security and threat issue. In cloud forensics, the lack of physical access leads to big challenge for investigator. In this paper we are presenting few common challenges which arise in cloud forensic and proposed solution to it. We will also discuss the in brief about cloud computing and cloud forensic.
Voice Activity Detector of Wake-Up-Word Speech Recognition System Design on FPGAIJERA Editor
A typical speech recognition system is push-to-talk operated that requires activation. However for those who use hands-busy applications, movement may by restricted or impossible. One alternative is to use Speech-Only Interface. The proposed method that is called Wake-Up-Word Speech Recognition (WUW-SR) that utilizes speech only interface. A WUW-SR system would allow the user to activate systems (Cell phone, Computer, etc.) with only speech commands instead of manual activation. The trend in WUW-SR hardware design is towards implementing a complete system on a single chip intended for various applications. This paper presents an experimental FPGA design and implementation of a novel architecture of a real time feature extraction processor that includes: Voice Activity Detector (VAD), and features extraction, MFCC, LPC, and ENH_MFCC. In the WUW-SR system, the recognizer front-end with VAD is located at the terminal which is typically connected over a data network(e.g., server)for remote back-end recognition. VAD is responsible for segmenting the signal into speech-like and non-speech-like segments. For any given frame VAD reports one of two possible states: VAD_ON or VAD_OFF. The back-end is then responsible to score the features that are being segmented during VAD_ON stage. The most important characteristic of the presented design is that it should guarantee virtually 100% correct rejection for non-WUW (out of vocabulary words - OOV) while maintaining correct acceptance rate of 99.9% or higher (in vocabulary words - INV). This requirement sets apart WUW-SR from other speech recognition tasks because no existing system can guarantee 100% reliability by any measure.
An intrusion detection system (IDS) is an ad hoc security solution to protect flawed computer systems. It works
like a burglar alarm that goes off if someone tampers with or manages to get past other security mechanisms
such as authentication mechanisms and firewalls. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a device or a software
application that monitors network or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces
reports to a management station.Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has been used as a vital instrument in
defending the network from this malicious or abnormal activity..In this paper we are comparing host based and
network based IDS and various types of attacks possible on IDS.
Messages addressed to specific users can be decrypted by Key Generation Centre (KGC) by generating their private keys. Data owner wants the data to be delivered only to specified user and not to unauthorized person that is the data owner makes their private data accessible only to authorized person. We propose attribute based encryption and escrow problem which means written agreement delivered to a third party to overcome this problem. Attribute based Encryption (ABE) is a type of public-key encryption in which the private key of a user and the cipher text are dependent upon attributes. It is a promising cryptographic approach.
The Inherent Reactor Kinetics for Transformation of Geniposidic Acid from Gen...IJERA Editor
The ripe fruits of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (Rubiaceae) (GJ) are widely used in chemical, food and medicinal
industries. Crocin and geniposide, the main constituents of GJ, have shown a diversity of biological activities
including sedative, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic. We propose some new bioactive chemicals could be
derived from geniposide. The optimum transformation condition of geniposide into geniposidic acid still
remains unclear. In order to develop a reactor, the information about the inherent reaction kinetics is required. In
a microreactor (V =62.8 mL), geniposide (0.01 mole/L, 20 mL) and NaOH (0.1 equivalent/L, pH=13, 10mL)
were left to react at 80, 70, 60, 50, and 40 oC and tracked with HPLC. Results indicated that the reaction obeyed
the pseudo-first order kinetics, the corresponding pseudo-first order rate constants ( 1 k ' ) were 11.064 h-1, 8.682
h-1, 2.400 h-1, 1.021 h-1, and 0.750 h-1, and the fractional conversions were 73.4%, 60.5%, 38.6%, 43.6%, and
51.8% at 0.50, 0.50, 0.833, 1.00, and 2.00 h. The energy of activation was 8.751 kJ mol-1. Conclusively, this
transformation obeys the pseudo-first order kinetics with a low energy of activation, 8.751 kJ mol-1. The
optimum transformations at 80oC and 70oC for 0.5 h were 73.4% and 60.5%, respectively.
Intrusion Detection and Countermeasure in Virtual Network Systems Using NICE ...IJERA Editor
The cloud computing has increased in many organizations. It provides many benefits in terms of low cost and accessibility of data. Ensuring the security of cloud computing is a major factor in the cloud computing environment, as users often store sensitive information with cloud storage providers but these providers may be untrusted. In this project we propose anIntrusion Detection and Countermeasure in Virtual Network Systems mechanism called NICE to prevent vulnerable virtual machines from being compromised in the cloud. NICE detects and mitigates collaborative attacks in the cloud virtual networking environment. The system performance evaluation demonstrates the feasibility of NICE and shows that the proposed solution can significantly reduce the risk of the cloud system from being exploited and abused by internal and external attackers.

ROI Based Image Compression in Baseline JPEGIJERA Editor
To improve the efficiency of standard JPEG compression algorithm an adaptive quantization technique based on the support for region of interest of compression is introduced. Since this is a lossy compression technique the less important bits are discarded and are not restored back during decompression. Adaptive quantization is carried out by applying two different quantization to the picture provided by the user. The user can select any part of the image and enter the required quality for compression. If according to the user the subject is more important than the background then more quality is provided to the subject than the background and vice- versa. Adaptive quantization in baseline sequential JPEG is carried out by applying Forward Discrete Cosine Transform (FDCT), two different quantization provided by the user for compression, thereby achieving region of interest compression and Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (IDCT) for decompression. This technique makes sure that the memory is used efficiently. Moreover we have specifically designed this for identifying defects in the leather samples clearly.

The present paper deals with a comprehensive study of reproducibility of the newly developed instrument to
study fabric handle characteristics using extraction principle. As reported earlier that a new nozzle extraction
method for objective measurement of fabric handle characteristics has been developed. The force exerted by the
fabric being drawn out of the nozzle is known as extraction force and the force exerted by the fabric at the side
wall of the nozzle is known as radial force. A few fabric samples have been tested on this newly developed
instrument and the effect of numbers of tests has been studied. It has been observed that minimum five samples
of a fabric test in this instrument gives lower standard deviation of the test results. Also the overall deviations of
results justified the reproducibility of the instrument and hence the said instrument if validated for its testing
parameters.

Graduation and academic information in the future and maintaining structure and content of the courses according to their previous results become importance. The paper objectives are extract knowledge from incomplete data structure and what the suitable method or technique of data mining to extract knowledge from a huge amount of data about students to help the administration using technology to make a quick decision. Data mining aims to discover useful information or knowledge by using one of data mining techniques, this paper used classification technique to discover knowledge from student’s server database, where all students’ information were registered and stored. The classification task is used, the classifier tree C4.5, to predict the final academic results, grades, of students. We use classifier tree C4.5 as the method to classify the grades for the students .The data include four years period [2006-2009]. Experiment results show that classification process succeeded in training set. Thus, the predicted instances is similar to the training set, this proves the suggested classification model. Also the efficiency and effectiveness of C4.5 algorithm in predicting the academic results, grades, classification is very good. The model also can improve the efficiency of the academic results retrieving and evidently promote retrieval precision.

A NOVEL AND COST EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO PUBLIC VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEMijujournal
There are lots of efforts being made by public transport corporations to improve public vehicle occupancy
by requesting the public to use public transport over other modes of transportation. It can be noted that if
the passenger knows with high confidence that the bus is going to come, he/she will definitely wait rather
than opting for other modes of transport. Efficient information can therefore help the users to choose faster
and more easier connections which saves their time. Trends in wireless technology like Global System for
Mobile communication (GSM) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) have resulted in easier and
faster communication. This paper presents a vehicle tracking system by integrating both of the above
mentioned technologies. The central server uses geographic information system (GIS) to track vehicles to
display the position information on the electronic map. This paper suggests a new cost-effective way for
tracking a vehicle in public transport domain and compares proposed technique to some of the methods
advised previously for tracking public vehicles.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Prototypic Gps-Gsm Integration for Enhancing Public Transportation and Management Services. Ganguri Rakesh Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering affiliated to JNTUK ABSTRACT This paper proposes and implements a solution for enhancing public transportation management services based on GPS and GSM. Travel time information is a vital component of many intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications. In recent years, the number of vehicles in India has increased tremendously, leading to severe traffic congestion and pollution in urban areas, particularly during peak periods. A desirable strategy to deal with such issues is to shift more people from personal vehicles to public transport by providing better service (comfort, convenience and so on). In this proposed system we introduced advanced public transportation systems (APTS) for public service. Advanced public transportation systems (APTS) are one of the most important ITS applications, which can significantly improve the traffic situation in India. One such application will be to provide accurate information about bus arrivals to passengers, leading to reduced waiting times at bus stops. This needs a real-time data collection technique, a quick and reliable prediction technique to calculate the expected travel time based on real-time data and informing the passengers regarding the same. The scope of this proposed system is to use global positioning system data collected from public transportation buses on urban roadways in the city of Chennai, India, to predict travel times. The performance of the proposed system is found to be promising and expected to be valuable in the development of advanced public transportation systems (APTS) in India. The work presented here is one of the first attempts at real-time short-term prediction of travel time for ITS applications in Indian traffic conditions.

I. Introduction
With the increasing number of people in cities, already existing problem of poor transportation services has grown to an alarming extent. Due to non-availability of prior information about the buses arrival schedule, people have to wait longer on bus stops especially in morning when they have to reach the offices in time. The buses are overloaded for most of the times which often results in some kind of fault occurrence in buses and people get late further. According to a survey report issued by Regional Transport Authority in year 2001, the available seat capacity on public transport to population in Andhra Pradesh is 1:38 as compared to Delhi 1:7, which shows the deficiency in capacity of public transport in Delhi [1]. In addition, rapid population growth and spatial expansion in Lahore is adversely affecting this ratio. Consequently the dissatisfaction with the level and quality of public transportation service has leaded those people who can afford it to turn to private modes of transportation. By the end of year 2005, the private modes of transportation in Delhi have contributed 93% (motor cycles=56.06%, motor cars and jeeps=31.52%, taxies=0.95%, rickshaws=4.56%) as compared to public modes of transportation [1]. Owing to poor infrastructure of roads in country, the annual growth rate of vehicles
has created problems in controlling the traffic flow resulting in traffic congestion on roads. Also with the increased number of vehicles, the content of carbon mono-oxide and particulates matter concentration is found to be 10 times higher than World Health Organization (WHO) in central parts of Delhi city thereby deteriorating the environment and causing lung diseases [2]. To reduce the number of private vehicles and improve the public modes of transportation in Delhi, the idea of introducing Light Rail Transit (LRT) is proposed [3]. It is estimated that 231,000 passengers will use LRT every day. This will also help in reducing the accidental rate (A total of 802 fatal accidents are recorded in Delhi for the year 2004) [1]. Although LRT seems to be a promising solution for enhancing public modes of transportation, it is costly to deploy. Another approach would be to introduce a technology based transportation management system that will help the passengers in getting informed about the exact schedule of buses and send recommendation report after performing rush statistical analysis on per stop basis to Indian Government for regulating the transport services. In this paper, a transportation management system is developed for enhancing public transportation services based on integration of GPS and GSM. GPS is used as a positioning device

while GSM is used as communication link between different modules. These modules include BUS Station Module, In-Bus Module, BASE Station Module and BUS Stop Module. Bus Station Module contains a GSM engine interfaced to PC and transmits the bus index and its license plate number to BASE Station. At the same time, it turns on GPS receiver installed in the bus. The bus then starts transmitting its location to the BASE Station. The BASE Station comprises of a GSM engine interfaced to a microcontroller for processing user request of bus location as well as a number of other GSM engines interfaced to various PCs each reserved for a separate bus to update the location information of that bus. The buses location data from BASE Station is sent to each bus stop. BUS Stop Module after receiving buses location data through GSM engine displays it on dot matrix display installed at each bus stop. The block diagram of the proposed system is shown in Fig 1 Fig 1
II. Hardware Specifications
The following hardware components are used in building the entire system: 2.1 GPS Receiver
In order to keep track record of bus, a Garmin GPS35 receiver, powered from the bus main battery, is installed in each bus. The Garmin GPS35 is a complete GPS receiver and embedded antenna designed for a broad spectrum of OEM system applications. The GPS35 tracks up to twelve satellites at a time while providing one-second navigation updates and low power consumption. Its far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of land navigation as well as the dynamics requirements of high performance aircraft. Internal memory backup allows the GPS35 to retain critical data such as satellite orbital parameters, last position, date, and time [4]
2.2 GSM Modem A wireless link between the modules is provided with Samsung 14i GSM module. Samsung 14i offers advance GSM connectivity and supports EDGE/GPRS and HSCSD with automated GSM connection establishment It is equipped to provide reliable remote connections and offers application level watchdogs, inbuilt self-check mechanisms and a reliable Virtual Machine (VM) for JAVATM. Samsung 14i also supports reliable inbuilt internet protocols: TCP/IP for reliable data transfer, UDP/IP for audio and video streaming and HTTP for accessing web pages. The module can also be connected to an external GPS device that supports National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) standard. The inbuilt NMEA parser can parse the location data from the output that it receives from the GPS device. External microcontroller can use AT commands to communicate with Samsung 14i and simple remote I/O applications can easily be controlled via text messages [5]. 2.3 Microcontroller AT89C52 microcontroller is selected because it is a powerful microcomputer which has low power consumption and provides a highly flexible and cost- effective solution to many embedded control applications. It has 8K bytes of in system reprogrammable flash memory, 256 bytes of internal RAM, 32 programmable I/O lines, three 16 bit timers/counters, eight interrupt sources and a programmable serial channel [6]. 2.4 Memory 256K Nonvolatile RAM (NV-Ram) DS1230Y- 85 is used for storing data in In-BUS Module (in case of sparse GSM coverage) and at BUS Stop Module for displaying on dot matrix display. NV-RAM is selected because it combines the best of RAM and ROM: the read and write ability of RAM and non- volatility of ROM. The DS1230 Nonvolatile SRAM is 262,144-bit, fully static, nonvolatile SRAM organized as 32,768 words by 8 bits. Each NV SRAM has a self-contained lithium energy source and control circuitry which constantly monitors VCC for an out-of-tolerance condition. When such a condition occurs, the lithium energy source is automatically switched on and writes protection is unconditionally enabled to prevent data corruption [6, 7]. 2.5 Battery Backup
In-Bus Module is provided with an internal battery so that whenever power from main battery is disconnected, microcontroller continues to transmit

the location to BASE station. A message is also sent to BASE station to notify it about the disconnection of main battery. When the power is resumed, the internal battery begins to recharge. 2.6 Alarms The microcontroller unit in In-BUS Module sends different alarm signals for different events to BASE Station Module. 2.6.1 On Backup Battery: When the main battery is switched off, a notification is sent to BASE station. 2.6.2 Stoppage: When the bus is stationary for more than a specified time, BASE station is informed by a stoppage alarm. In case of an accident or any other fault occurred in bus, the driver can notify the BASE station by pressing a button in bus. 2.6.3 Getting Late: When the bus is not covering a certain distance in a defined range of time, an alarm signal of getting late is sent to BASE station. 2.6.4 Route Deviation: When the bus deviates from the assigned route by a given margin, BASE station is notified.
III. System Modules and Network Operations
The entire system/network comprises of four modules: Bus station module, In-bus module, Base station module and Bus stop module. The working and interconnection of these modules is described in this section. 3.1 Bus Station Module:
BUS Station Module is installed at bus terminals from where the bus will depart. It contains a LASER and a GSM modem connected to a PC. When the bus enters the terminal pad, it is detected by the LASER sensor. The operator at the terminal enters the license plate number in database. A count number is then accordingly assigned to the bus e.g., bus leaving the terminal first will be assigned a number 1. The route number of bus along with the Stage number, direction information, assigned count number and license plate number is sent to the BASE Station via GSM. An example of the transmitted header is of the form “12D01APZ3244” where „12‟ is the bus route number issued by Government Transportation Department, „D‟ is downward direction of bus („U‟ will be upward direction), „01‟ is the Stage number assigned to the bus and „APZ3244‟ is license plate number of bus. An „ON‟ signal is also transmitted to the In-BUS Module installed in the bus for initialization. The flow chart of module software is shown in Fig. 2. Fig 2 3.2 In-bus Module
In-BUS Module is installed inside every bus and consists of a GPS receiver, a GSM modem, a NV- RAM, infrared object counting sensors, door opening/closing sensors and an emergency button; all interfaced to AT89C52microcontroller. After receiving the initialization signal form BUS Station Module, this module starts transmitting bus location to the BASE Station. At each stop, when the driver opens the door, an interrupt is generated and microcontroller starts counting the numbers of passengers entering and leaving the bus with the help of infrared sensors. This count value on per stop basis is transmitted to the BASE Station. In case of an emergency situation (e.g., when fault occurs in bus), driver can press the emergency button to inform BUS and BASE Station units about the location of bus. The BUS station operator can then adjust the schedule accordingly and send an additional bus for facilitating the passengers. Microcontroller present in this module continuously calculates the difference in consecutive GPS locations. If the difference remains near zero for more than a designated time, then a getting late message is transmitted to the BUS and BASE stations. In case of sparse GSM coverage, location information is stored in non-volatile RAM. After regaining the GSM network, previous locations are updated to the BASE station. The block diagram

3.3 Base Station Module
This module is the central part of the network. It accepts location information of buses through respective GSM modems and maps the information on Google Map for visualization. It also receives the number of passengers entering and leaving the bus on per stop basis from In-BUS Module for statistical analysis. The message received is of the form “#01, 02, 01, 1726.0830.N, 07826.7869.E”. The first string denotes the stage number and next two strings denotes the number of passengers entering and leaving the bus respectively and next two strings denotes the location information; all separated by commas. Another GSM modem is used to get the user request of location information of a particular bus. An example of the query put by the passenger is of the form “14D” or “14D11”. In first instance i.e., “14D”, „14‟ is the route number and „D‟ designates the direction flag while in second instance i.e., “14D11”, additional digit „11‟ denotes the bus stop number where the passenger is standing. The microcontroller attached with this GSM modem passes on the user request to the PC dedicated for that route number. The PC after processing the request data sends desired location information in form of bus stop name to microcontroller. The microcontroller then transmits this information back to the user. The information that passenger will receive contains the location of all buses out of terminal in desired direction in former query while in case of later query, he will get the location of those buses which are coming towards the particular bus stop number in desired direction along with time information. The time information is embedded in message to account for any delay in processing the user request. An example of the information received by the user is of the form “TV TOWER, BRIDGE TOWN, HIMAYATH NAGAR ,HYDERABAD- 2:30 P.M.” where first four strings are bus stops names telling where the buses are currently followed by the time on which the location information is get from the map and message is sent to user. BASE station also monitors the emergency situations transmitted from In-BUS Module. In addition to this, the station keeps record of security issues and traffic congestion conditions and directs the driver to change the route if desired. The block diagram of the module is shown in Fig. 5 while module software is shown in Fig. 6.

3.4 Bus stop Module
This module is installed at every bus stop to let the passenger know about the location of buses coming towards that stop. It comprises of a GSM modem, a NV-RAM and dot matrix display; all interfaced to 89C52 microcontroller. After receiving the bus location data in the form of stop names from BASE station, microcontroller stores it in non- volatile RAM. A sample message received by BUS Stop Module installed at „Old Tower Stop‟ is of the form “11, Visiting Museum; 44, vector Hospital; 88, Singh de share; 11, casual Town; 53, Harahan Court; 07”. The message contains information of those buses only which will pass by the designated stop. First two digits of a sub-string denote the bus route number followed by the bus stop name which is the current location of bus coming towards the specified stop. Microcontroller after retrieving the stored information displays it on a 3x15 dot matrix display. The microcontroller refreshes the information with a rate of 10 seconds. In case of an emergency situation, the location of next incoming bus is displayed. The block diagram of this module is shown in Fig. 7 and flow chart of module is shown in Fig. 8. Fig 7 Fig 8

IV. Statistical Analysis and Recommendations
BASE station utilizes the passenger information on per stop basis to carry out the statistical analysis. A GUI, shown in Fig. 9, is developed in MATLAB® to analyze the results [8]. A recommendation report is also generated by the software which highlights the regions of greater emphasis. These are the regions where buses are more overloaded. The solution to the problem lies in increasing the number of buses on routes which are densely crowded or introduce new overlapping routes to compensate the demand. BASE station transmits the statistical data along with the recommendation report to Punjab Government Transportation Department through internet at the end of day or as per request of transportation department. Fig 9
V. Conclusion
In this paper, design and development of a low cost transportation management system based on integration of GPS and GSM data is described. The system comprises of various modules which are wirelessly linked with GSM modems. Cost effective SMS service of GSM network is used for the transfer of data between the modules. A new service, to facilitate the people who use public transport for traveling, is introduced inside the city. The service provides the user with current location information of desired buses based on which the user can adjust his schedule accordingly. The service therefore vanishes the need of waiting at the bus stop thus saving a lot of time. For the passengers not utilizing the service, displays are installed at bus stop to let them know the buses location coming towards that stop. The system is also efficient in handling the emergency situations e.g., in case some kind of technical fault occurred in bus, the operator at bus terminal is informed and the departure time between the buses is reduced.
VI. Future Work
The system can be made automatic by installing cameras at bus terminals which can automatically read the license plate number of buses thereby eliminating the operator. An automatic route guider display can be installed in buses to better update the alternative route in case of serious road congestions. Fare collecting system can also be automated by providing another mobile service to which all the passengers using public transport are subscribed.
