INFORAMTION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract :-
The present bus transportation of Indore suffers from major disadvantage as far as
passenger ease regarding bus routes and time tables is concerned.
There is no provision for fast, reliable and cost feasible delivery of bus schedule
and related information.
Hence, The City Bus Guide is rationally planned ,digitally managed project which
will provide real time information of bus stops, bus timings and other queries of
the customers through SMS on mobile phones.
Also provide details of various hospitals, shopping malls, theatres, schools , temples,
police stations , music shops etc near the concerned area though web site.
We would also try and provide customized search for routes by using many scheduling
algorithms & shortest path search algorithms.

4.Users can send messages in the following formats:-
 rt <source> <destination> <start-time>
Fetches route id, bus id from the database and replies back to the user
 lm <bus-stop keyword>
Fetches Landmarks around a bus-stop and generates a reply
 bs <landmark keyword>
Fetches busStops around a landmark and replies back to the user
 1. INTRODUCTION
The present Bus Transportation of Indore has won critical acclamation from
one and all. However, it suffers from major disadvantage as far as passenger
ease regarding bus routes and time tables is concerned. Keeping oneself up-to-
date regarding all routes, bus stops, bus numbers and time tables is difficult.
Hence, we propose a means to offer all bus related information through
SMS (short message service) via mobile phones, which are widely found
with bus passengers. With this facility, one can request bus timing, bus routes
and bus stop information stored only one click away. We would also try and
provide on line city bus pass making facility and customized search for routes
by using many scheduling algorithms & shortest path search algorithms.

2. PROBLEM DOMAIN
One of the problems faced by the Bus Transport System in Indore is that there
is no provision for fast, reliable and cost feasible delivery of bus schedule and
related information. This in turn affects the number of passengers who use this
transport. One of the reasons for low occupancy is that a passenger normally
does not know the bus scheduling information, and bus-arrival timing
information to bus-stops.

3. SOLUTION DOMAIN
Trends in wireless technology have resulted in most of the passengers owning
mobile phones. We believe that by providing bus-route and arrival information
to passengers’ cell phones in a timely manner, it is possible to improve the bus
occupancy.
Our Bus Information System (called “eBusGuide”) aims at improving the bus-
occupancy by providing bus-route and arrival information to passengers in a
timely manner. The proposed system can be built using Internet/Web
technology and messaging service provided to mobile phones.
Also, the system aims at providing optimal routing information with respect to
cost and time, based on the source and destination bus-stops. Passengers can
access the information through Internet and mobile phones. We will also try to
provide on line bus pass making facility .

4. SYSTEM DOMAIN

Tools and Technologies used:- J2EE(jsp & servlets), HTML, AJAX, javascript,
css, Eclipse,RAD, Apache Tomcat Server, IBM DB2 ,SMS API (jSMS)

6. A Browser(Mozilla 3.0 or internet Exploler7)
7. Operating System(Windows XP or LINUX)
8. Server(Apache Tomcat)
9. SMS API (JSMS)

5. APPLICATION DOMAIN
This software can be applicable in a city for providing bus-route and arrival information
to passengers about city bus on there mobile handset & on line. They can see root map
& search by bus no. or search by root number’s.

6. EXPECTED OUTCOME
The outcome of software depend on type of query ask & type of user either mobile
user or web user.
• A user can on line apply for bus pass & receive it manually.
• A user can send Query using message keyword’s the system will solve query
about bus-root , arrival information .
• A web user can see root map & search it either by the bus no. or by root’s ,
software will be provide the expected root in outcome.
• Provide customized search for routes by using many scheduling algorithms &
shortest path search algorithms.
