1. GPS BASED SCHOOL BUS
TRACKING
SYSTEM
PRESENTED BY,
Prajakta Bakare

2.  The main goal of this project is to design school
bus location system, which will track the location of
the bus using GPS.
 We will be using GPS system to monitor buses to
find approximate location of the bus and GPS
location of the bus status will be displayed at all the
bus terminals using an LCD display.

3.  The system permits localization of the automobile
and transmitting the position to the owner on his
mobile phone as a short message (SMS) at his
request.
 GPS Receiver gets the location information from
satellites in the form of latitude and longitude.
 The Microcontroller processes this information and
this processed information is sent to the user/owner
using GSM modem.

4.  Our device will offer the consumer the following
benefits:
 This system will help the students know if a bus
is not on schedule or has been canceled due to
technical or weather issues.
 System will also tell students whether they have
just missed the bus so they don’t wait for the bus
and it will also tell them how long it’s going to be
until another bus.
 The bus drivers will not need to maintain the
time log but instead of that system will monitor
the accurate log for them.

6.  In this project microcontroller is use to store latitude &
longitude position of each stop of bus which is taken by GPS.
 Microcontroller is an economical computer –on-a-chip built
for dealing with specific tasks ,such as displaying or
receiving information through LEDs or remote controlled
devices.The most commonly used set of microcontrollers
belong to 8051 family.

7.  Pin Diagram of 8051:-

8.  Types of ports:
1. Port 0
2. Port 1
3. Port 2
4. Port 3

9. 1. It is 8 bit processor having 8 data lines D0-D15 &16 Address
lines A0-A15.
2. 4KB ROM on chip program memory.
3. 128 bytes on chip data memory.
4. 4 reg. banks.
5. Operating frequency 12MHz.
6. 3 internal & 2 external interrupts.
7. 4 parallel i/p-o/p ports P0-P3.
8. 32 general purposes registers each of 8 bits.
9. 16 bit program counter and data pointer.
10. 2 on chip 16 bit timer T0 & T1.

10.  When a light-emitting diode is forward-biased
(switched on), electrons are able to recombine with
electron holes within the device, releasing energy in
the form of photons.
 LEDs present many advantages lower energy
consumption, longer lifetime, improved physical
robustness, smaller size, and faster switching.
 Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as
diverse as aviation lighting, automotive lighting,
advertising, general lighting, and traffic signals.

11.  Embedded C is use for microcontroller
based application.
 Embedded C has to use with the limited
resources.
 For ex. Ram, Rom, I/O on an embedded
processor.
 Embedded C is used for real time
operating system.

12.  It is a debugger of microcontroller device.
 It shows the simulation which helps to
understand hardware configuration & avoid
time wasted on setup problem.
 The simulation can be written & texted as
application before target hardware is
available.

13.  The RS232 is not compatatible with
microprocessor & microcontroller
 We need the line driver convertor from the
RS232’S signal to the TTL voltage level.
 MAX232 chip is that provide uses of +5v
power supply is the same as the source
voltage for the 8051.
 The MAX232 has two sets of line drivers for
transfering & receiving data.
 The line drivers used for TxD are called T1
& T2 & the line driver for RxD are called R1
& R2.

14. Advantages
 This system provides accurate information to the
student and parents.
 System will also tell students whether they have
just missed the bus so they don’t wait for the bus.
 This system will help the students know if a bus is
not on schedule or has been canceled due to
technical or weather issues
 This project very useful for the child security

15. Disadvantages
•If the network is not available then
the user can’t receive the
particular location of bus.

16. Conclusions
• This project is useful for college or
school bus due to the continuously alerting
position by using sms. In which GPS and
GSM module is use for detection purpose.
And hence it is useful for students as well
as parents and responsible respective
authority for safety purpose.
Conclusions

17. Future Scope
• This project can be further enhanced by the
use of camera and by developing a mobile based
application to get the real time view of the
vehicle.
