Abstract:

This paper presents an integrated information system for the monitoring and control of urban public transportation stations. In this way, users are notified through web services, smartphone application. Including information at the bus stop about routes, location of stops and times of public transport. In addition, there is a portal for the administrators of the units that allow the management of the records of the bus route. This is performed using radio frequency devices for wireless communication between the automotive and the transport station. This receives information from the mobile unit and sends it to a database present on a WEB server, where it is processed and sent to the station for its socialization with the user. In this paper an audio system that provides information on the route through a speaker located in the station and in the mobile unit was implemented, facilitating the use of this service to users with visual disabilities and illiterate population. The system was tested in three stops and two mobile units. This has proven the communication with a range greater than 20 meters. The rapid response of the system with an approximate time of up to 1 second from the bus registration at the stop to the updating of the data on the site.
