Project Summary

University bus transportation is a very easy and convenient facility for students as it provides them with a safe way to travel between their homes and the university. Various problems have been identified in the current system especially during these times where COVID-19 has placed a lot of restrictions on the mode of travel and the general social distancing guidelines for individuals. Wait times and schedule management for female students is necessary in these perilous times.

This project is all about GPS based university route management system for students and staff. In GPS device, GSM card will facilitate the students with messages for their routes timing. This system will provide real time tracking for routes. This will help the students to manage their time by reducing wait times for buses on public spots, decreasing the time they are exposed to close proximity with other people. The system will also allow for management of time schedules for bus operators and to disseminate important information to travelers in a timely manner. The students and staff members can schedule their times effectively and in a safe manner.

Project Objectives

1. To provide the latest bus position to students.
2. Notifications about route arrival and departure on each stop.
3. Notifications about any delays occurring in arriving time.
4. Support for alarm and voice monitoring.

Project Implementation Method

We will be using Scrum for project management and implementation. Scrum is one of the agile methodologies designed to guide teams in the iterative and incremental delivery of a product. Often referred to as “an agile project management framework,” its focus is on the use of an empirical process that allows teams to respond rapidly, efficiently, and effectively to change. Traditional project management methods fix requirements in an effort to control time and cost; Scrum on the other hand, fixes time and cost in an effort to control requirements. This is done using time boxes, collaborative ceremonies, a prioritized product backlog, and frequent feedback cycles.

The Application of Scrum

Scrum is applied by following a set of ceremonies, or meetings. Required Scrum ceremonies include the sprint planning meeting, the daily scrum, the sprint review and the sprint retrospective. Working in time boxes called sprints is also required. Release planning meetings allow for the planning and forecasting of groups of sprints.

Sprint Planning Meeting

The sprint-planning meeting is held on the first day of every sprint. The Product Owner presents the set of features he or she would like to see completed in the sprint (the “what”) then the team determines the tasks needed to implement these features (the “how”). Work estimates are reviewed to see if the team has the time to complete all the features requested in the sprint. If so, the team commits to the sprint.

Tracking Progress

Once the sprint-planning meeting is complete and the team has made a commitment, the team begins to track its progress using highly visible information radiators. These radiators include the burndown chart and the task board.

Sprint Review

At the end of the sprint, the team invites stakeholders to a sprint review meeting where the features that were completed in the sprint are shown and feedback is requested. The Product Owner keeps track of the feedback and incorporates it as needed into the product backlog.

Release Planning

Release Planning is also part of Scrum, and is a way to do long-term planning for a time box that consists of multiple sprints. This is often done quarterly, and the results of the quarter do not have to be a release to the customer, but may simply be an internal release to confirm system integration and validation.

Benefits of the Project

1. Students do not have to wait for routes.
2. By this system students get the accurate location of their routes and reach their destinations on time.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Following modules will be implemented:

1. GPS tracking of routes
2. Central system getting GPS locations
3. Clients mobile application showing schedules and routes
4. Installation of GPS trackers with additional battery in route buses
