With the increase in population, rapid explode in rate of vehicles has resulted in an overload on traffic management. Public transportation, being a pivotal role, is the most affordable means of transportation. The major impediment of traveling with bus is the inconsistent arrival time which may be due to unforeseen circumstances. Even though bus schedule is known, there are a number of reasons that bus may not arrive as expected. Traffic congestion, heavy downpour, bus breakdown, accident and day-to-day problems faced by bus company can delay or completely interrupt bus service. Another drawback of the primitive bus system is that the safety of passengers has never been considered. The current system has always been ignorant towards specially able people. Thus, all the shortcomings have given the intuition of developing an IoT enabled system that will inform the travelers prior about the bus arrival time, facilitating passengers to plan trips with minimum wait-time. This is done by making use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) UWB (Ultra Wide Band) beacons to notify the commuters about arriving bus at the bus stop. The proposed system would take into consideration the needs of specially-abled people and offer service that will help improve their overall traveling experience.
