This document proposes a solution to provide real-time availability of public transportation status by installing GPS devices on vehicles that report location data to a central server. The server would then make this information available to passengers through a mobile-enabled portal, allowing them to see estimated arrival times and delays. The initial scope is for buses in Mumbai, with the goal of expanding across India. Key steps involve piloting GPS trackers on a few buses and building a central server with a route selection portal.

3. The Problem Statement
• Long waiting, Uncertainty of public transport
availability when you are at Bus Station / Bus
Stop

4. The Solution
• Real Time Availability of status of public
transport at a click of button
• By having GPS Device (w/SIM) installed in
every transport vehicle, it can be real-time
tracked.
• The central server can receive the co-ords,
process the same and the correct info can be
made available to passengers via portal

5. Scope
• To start with Mumbai City
• Scalable to All Cities and Rural India

6. Assumptions
• Required spending will be done

7. The Constraints
– Possibly finance
–

8. Implementation Steps
• Select 3 to 5 different number buses and
install GPS Device (w/SIM)
• Have central Portal Server which is Mobile
Enabled
• Have drop down selection option for Bus
Number/Route

9. Technologies Used
• M2M
• GPS based Vehicle Tracking System / Device
(w/SIM)
• Central Portal Server w/GVLS Application

10. Outcomes
• Availability of real-time status to all
passengers can lead to
– No waiting at Bus station/stop
– Explore alternate options, in case of delay
– Time Savings
