This is a presentation of my Final year academic project based on Arduino named as "Tran-Duino"

1. NAME : N.NANDHAKUMAR
REG NO : 21607621018
PROJECT TITLE : TRAN – DUINO

2. GUIDE :
DR.T.KUMARAN , Lecturer,
Department of Masters in Computer
Applications, Saveetha Engineering College.

3. ABSTRACT
Tran-Duino is a Micro controller that can be used in
Public Transits which performs the following
●Tracks the location of a bus running or moving
currently in its route.
● Display the upcoming or next stop name of the
bus , prior to passengers who are traveling in
that bus.

4. EXISTING SYSTEM
● It is fully human dependent.
● The conductor of the public transit can provide the
locative information.
● The traveller himself has to get these information
from the co traveller.

5. PROPOSED SYSTEM
● Microcontroller unit with Global Positioning System
[ GPS ] embedded in it.
● Contains Display Unit to display the locative
information like upcoming stop details in the route .

6. HARDWARE ENVIRONMENT
● EM-406a GPS SiRF III Receiver with patch
Antenna
● Arduino Microcontroller with ATMega328
bootloader
● AdaFruit GPS shield version 1.1 with inbuilt SD
card storage
● JHD162a 16*2 line LCD display module
● Wires and fixtures

7. HARDWARE ENVIRONMENT
● SYSTEM : Pentium IV 2.4 Ghz
● HARD DISK : 40GB
● MONITOR : 15 VGA color
● MOUSE : Logitech
● RAM : 512 MB
● KEYBOARD : PS/2 Keyboard
● USB PORTS : 2

8. SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT
Operating system : Linux - Ubuntu
IDE : Arduino IDE Version 0017
Coding Language : C
The Arduino IDE has the following dependencies
● sun's java runtime
● avr-gcc
● avr-libc
● binutils-avr

9. ARDUINO IDE
● Consists of Development Environment and Core
libraries
●It is written in Java and based on Processing
Development Environment
● Core Libraries are written in C and C++ and code
is compiled using avr-gcc and avr-libc

28. TESTING
The Components are integrated into a unit and is powered up
using a 9V battery.
It is then took and travelled along in the sample route
The latitude and longitude values are logged into SD card
After logging, the file is uploaded into the site
http://gpsvisualizer.com .
The output map is as follows,

29. TESTING
Using the sample log file, the required waypoints, their latitude
and longitude are noted and is used for comparison
The comparison code is uploaded and the GPS unit is again took
for ride in the same route.

30. PERFORMANCE
MERITS
● Passengers can travel freely without
depending on others
● Less usage of manpower
●Functional Unit can be prepared in affordable
cost

31. PERFORMANCE
LIMITATIONS
Not useful for visually challenged people
●
GPS works rarely in cloudy conditions
●
●Usage of SD card limits datastorage of route
informations

32. FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
Incorporating wireless connectivity.
Adding Audio enabled systems to announce
the locative information to the passengers.
Including more locative informations.

33. CONCLUSION
The project acts as a great help to passengers who are
new to the route and provides them with locative
information which helps them to get down at the required
location or bus stops in a route.
