Android Application based Smart Bus Transportation System for Pandemic Situations

Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) originated in the city of Wuhan, China and it has spread to numerous countries causing life fatality problems. During this situation, traveling in public transport vehicles becomes riskier. But due to bad economic conditions of the people they can’t avoid going to work during this situation. So travelling becomes mandatory but precautionary measures have to be followed during travel. At the same time people should also avoid waiting for the bus unnecessarily at one place which may increase the possibility of disease spread. So keeping these issues in mind a new Android Application based Smart Bus Transportation System was introduced which guides the passengers in booking the bus tickets using the Android Application and it also helps the passengers to keep an update on bus location based on their request. This system also sends alert message few minutes in advance to the passengers before the bus reaches the passengers boarding point. This system also sends the precautionary instruction priorly to the passengers that have to be followed while travelling in the bus. In order to provide additional safety to the passengers the temperature of the passengers is monitored and intimated to the bus in change before they are permitted into the bus.
