Abstract:
When was the last time you cursed
yourself while waiting for your bus to arrive? When was the last time you
missed an important meeting because the bus was late?. I propose the E-Bus Stop Model to make your wait
more productive and manage time effectively.
Each Bus will have a display showing
details such as current position of the bus, the name of the next few stops on
the route, estimated time of arrival at these stops. At the bus-stop, the
commuters who are waiting for the bus will know the position of the nearest bus
and its estimated time of arrival. The Main bus stand will have details
regarding the position of all the buses plying inside the city.
The passenger can accordingly plan his
journey, the bus he wants to take, or other possible means to take him to his
destination ‘ON TIME’.
Every Bus is fitted with a Bluetooth
device with a unique address. Every Bus Stop is also provided with a Bluetooth
device. The Bluetooth devices in the bus are capable communicating with devices
in the bus stop within a range of 100 metres. All the bus stops are connected
only to their adjacent bus stops so as
to form a ring topology based network. A Display screen is provided in all the
buses and bus stops where all the necessary information are shown.
An interesting aspect of the technology is
the instant formation of networks once the bluetooth devices come in range to
each other. A piconet is a collection of devices connected via Bluetooth
technology in an ad hoc fashion.
