Online Monitoring for Public Transport using Mobile Applications

Combined with the increasing density of mobile telephony in Brazil, the monitoring of bus routes and alert of possible dangers becomes a reality. In this context, a monitoring tool can support the safety of users and qualitatively improves the control of the location of collective vehicles. This work describes and exposes the relevance of using the system called Security System for Bus (SSBus). The SSBus consists of two software that were produced for Android and a web management system. The efficiency of this proposal was evaluated through experiments carried out in three Brazilian cities that use the third and fourth generation mobile communications networks. During the tests data were collected to generate statistics based on the precision of the implemented algorithm.
