Overview
Bus Tracking GPS is an open-source hardware and software solution designed to provide affordable real-time location tracking for public transit buses. It combines GPS positioning with GPRS cellular data transmission to create a low-cost alternative to commercial tracking systems.
Key Features
- Arduino Integration — Uses Arduino microcontroller as the central processing unit for the tracking device
- GPS Location Tracking — Incorporates Adafruit Ultimate GPS module to obtain precise geographic coordinates
- GPRS Data Transmission — Employs SeeedStudio GPRS shield to send location data over cellular networks
- Open Hardware Design — Provides complete bill of materials and wiring instructions for replicating the device
- Miami Transit Integration — Designed to work with Miami Transit API and LeafletTransit visualization tools
Philosophy
The project emphasizes affordability and accessibility, aiming to create a functional transit tracking solution using off-the-shelf components that can be assembled and deployed by transit agencies with limited budgets.
