A Cost Effective Automatic Online Bus Information System using RFID and ZigBee

 Abstract

 Nowadays, transportation plays a very important role for students in the day to day life of the educational institutions, these institutes are mostly located out of cities. Need of monitoring the travel time and driver information are the major components of traveller information system in the institutions. The travel time of buses varies depending on some parameters such as Bus Drivers doesn’t follow time schedules, negligence and beyond the speed limits. Monitoring the bus travel time information can give many advantages such as reducing accidents leaded by over speed, time delay, and miscellaneous activities of drivers.

In this paper, a cost effective idea is proposed, i.e., integration of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with Zigbee. When compared with existing RFID and other technologies, the proposed system gives more reliable, cost effective and fast means of long distance objects identification.
