S. Minu, Deepak Adithya K. N. Abstract: In today economic and traffic condition no one can predicts at wat time and when the required transportation of a person can arrive .The aim of the paper work to provide a app which can be used for college students so that they can manage the time during all days usefully and get to their transport point at the right time and not lose the bus or any other college transportation receive provided by the college. I intent to use IOT and concepts with the help of Arduino to complete and implement this product. This paper also aims to add feature like estimate time of arrival, notification, students data base etc. Keywords: Arduino, Economic and Traffic, College Students. I. INTRODUCTION In the growing and evolving environment the time is so precious that if you lose some it may cause you major incident like during exam days for school or college students that may miss their bus are their time for last minute revision they need to do before the exam. For such issues I have developed this paper. This paper is on IOT device which tracks the activity of the bus of the day and report it to the students that are using the service and notification will be sent to the student 5 minutes before arrival of the bus in the morning or departure for the college. So that they can get ready according and go to the bus stop/after college to the bus safely and manage their time accordingly in the morning. In this application I have also designed which that the ETA (estimate time of arrival) will be shown. In the mornings will we wake up last or get ready late we can use this and manage the time accordingly and catch the bus. I also included the ID card in the mobile application you can show the ID card whenever we get on/off the bus to the person in charge to check whether the student on board are all the students who paid for the transportation and other didn’t get on the bus. II. LITERATURE REVIEW The common and most efficient way to track the package or any moving object is via Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS is a developing hardware unit where it’s used derive the location of the moving object. Since it’s a developing hardware the products accuracy is around 80% correct. The software for this hardware is also developing in future this device will be used in every field. This GPS device get data for more than two satellite and give us the location of the moving object we are looking for in our case it’s a bus. Revised Version Manuscript Received on 25 October, 2018.

N, Student, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai (Tamil Nadu), India. This device is recommended by various scientist and research people due to its accuracy and the data it provides along with the location such as the traffic condition, the speed of bus, its location using latitude and longitude etc. The tracking helps us to monitor and regulate the driver activity. We can ensure that the product reaches the destination on time and safely. This intern helps us increase the delivery on time rate and the opinion on the agency. ETA (estimate time of arrival) we apply the concept of ETA by using speed, route and traffic on the road. We use to get the distance, route, climate and traffic to apply an algorithm with gives us the ETA. While we are doing we take the speed to be 40 km/hr since it’s the speed limit in India. We can change it accordingly with the speed limit of the place where the application is being used. ETA can change according to climate conditions because in rainy or winter days the roads will be slippery and the transportations gets slowed down accordingly. III. COMPONENTS USED A. GPS Tracker The one which is used Ublox 6m GPS tracker  This tracks the bus continuously and report it to the application by using the parameters such as speed, geographic location and the route and upload it to the server and is viewed through the mobile application.  Accordingly to the speed the ETA is given .Since it depends on the speed of the bus the ETA will change accordingly to the number of stops it does in between till it reaches the location of the required student. B. ESP8266 Microcontroller ESP8266-12f is a Wi-Fi microcontroller and chip which is used here to read the GPS reading with help of latitude and longitude and it uploads it to My SQL database which we used by the server we manage.
