Summary: | Locator System (BLS). BLS is a mobile application that will be implemented to enhance one of the current public transportation systems – bus. The main objective is to provide the users the real-time information of the bus such as the current location of the bus so that they know exactly when the bus is arriving and from there, they can plan their trip efficiently. By promoting the public transport, traffic congestion and environment issues can be controlled or reduced, when there are lesser private vehicles on the road. The problem of current situation is that the current bus system is inefficient and inconvenience to the bus passengers as the current schedule stating arrival time of the bus is always inaccurate and the bus passengers have to spend their time to wait for the bus. Thus, BLS will be a stepping stone to improve the current system by providing a solution that allows the users to access to real-time information of the buses anywhere and anytime through their smartphone. This project will serve as an initiative to enhance the current system and at the same time, change the perception of public towards the old system and promote the importance of public transport. In terms of project development, a model known as rapid application development (RAD) will be applied and it will be explained later in one of the chapters. There will be 5 chapters in this paper: introduction, literature review, methodology, results and discussion, and finally ended with conclusion and recommendation of BLS. |
