GPS (Global Positioning System) based tracking system has many applications in today's world, including vehicle tracking, child tracking, any equipment tracking, etc. These services offer many advantages to the mobile users to retrieve the information about their current location and process that data to get more useful information. The development of a bus tracking system for android based smartphone with the aim of enabling educational institution students, faculties and staffs to locate their buses with ease and in a convenient manner. The system consists of two sides, server side and client side. The client side provides the facility to the user to track buses remotely through the mobile network or WIFI and the server side's main responsibility is to provide the exact location of the bus to the server. Any type of user can see the live location of their desire bus with only 5 seconds of update interval. This will reduce unnecessary hassle and waiting time for the users. It will provide multiple services to the user based on their category.

Reason for Android platform Android requires an open source development which is probably the most feasible and a present user friendly approach. This paper also deals with Location Based Services, which are used to track the current location of the bus as well as give an estimate remaining time for the tracked bus to reach its destination using the client –server technology. Also It display the required maps with the help of GPS.

How often do you find yourself in dilemma that the vehicle you want to catch is missed or where it is so that you can catch it again to have a perfect journey to your destination? So, this application program is designed to help you locate that particular vehicle by just sending a message to the driver and you get an instant message. Of course, those other tasks sometimes need to take priority. Texting while driving can be dangerous, and this task of texting is hard task for the driver to stop everywhere and text to each and every one where he is. Fortunately, the catch fast app for Android makes texting possible even when you're not available for texting. Our project 'FAST-CATCH' is a GPS based android application which helps the user to locate the vehicle by sending just an SMS. The application tracks the current location of the user through the Google maps API and it provides this location to the message sender, sender can use this location to find out where the vehicle is even though he is not using any internet connection. This projects overall gives the easier tool for finding out where is the position of the vehicle if he wants to catch it even if he is not carrying up a phone which is just capable of sending a message (SMS). It saves time and money. Texting has become a common and very popular method of communicating with friends. Shooting off a quick text is much quicker and easier than calling, and it's possible to text while distracted by other tasks.

This paper proposes a Real-Time College Bus Tracking Application which runs on Android smart phones. This enables students to find out the location of the bus so that they won't get late or won't arrive at the stop too early. The main purpose of this application is to provide exact location of the student's respective buses in Google Maps besides providing information like bus details, driver details, stops, contact number, routes, etc. This application may be widely used by the college students since Android smart phones have become common and affordable for all. It is a real time system as the current location of the bus is updated every moment in the form of latitude and longitude which is received by the students through their application on Google maps. The application also estimates the time required to reach a particular stop on its route. The application uses client-server technology

https://www.ijert.org/bus-tracking-system-using-gps-on-smartphones https://www.ijert.org/research/bus-tracking-system-using-gps-on-smartphones-IJERTCONV7IS11071.pdf The bus tracking system plays a vital role in current technology due to its various applications. Due to over population, there is a need for efficient public transportation system. There is increased burden on public transportation like bus just because of population. Therefore remote user needs a smart system which provides real time information of bus. So we proposed a new system which solves the drawback of current public transportation system. So our system handle all the data like current location of bus, management of buses. It provides current location of bus on google maps to the remote user. For development purpose technologies like GPS(Global Postioning System),GPRS(General Packet Radio Service)and google maps are used. LOCATION-BASED services are increasingly important for modern mobile devices such as the Smartphone. An important feature of a modern mobile device is that it can position itself. Not only for use on the device but also for remote applications that require tracking of the device. Furthermore, tracking has to robustly deliver position updates when faced with changing conditions such as delays due to positioning and communication, and changing positioning accuracy. The realized system tracks pedestrian targets equipped with GPS-enabled devices.

As we know that everyone will be late to catch a bus in his college days. Now, it is very difficult to find the route of different buses and the students need to call to their class mates to locate the current position of the bus. In this paper, we have elaborates the problems with existing system and what are the other systems which are currently running in the market. We have also provides the process flow of the existing system.

Traffic is increasing rapidly day by day which leads to fail the scheduled timetable of the transportation. So, if buses get delayed is mainly result in the wastage of time of the student. In this paper, we proposed the concept about to track the bus to avoid the time wastage and to reduce the human efforts also to reduce the chance of missing bus. The present generation requires the information time to time. The use of technology has been increasing day by day. So, we are planning for the combination of present technology with the requirement of information transmission, we planned for the creative approach of "College Bus Tracking System using GPS and GSM". The main aim is to find out the location of the college bus using GPS (Global Positioning System) and GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) and without using internet at the user's end. Using GPS and with GSM the user can know the location of the bus by an SMS (Short Message Service). All the students have to store their database (i.e. mobile number) in GSM module.

This paper proposes a hybrid application for College Bus Tracking Application, which runs on Android smart phones, ios and web. This enables students to find out the location of the bus so that they will not get late or will not arrive at the stop too early. The main purpose of this application is to provide exact location of the student's respective buses in Google Maps besides providing information like bus details, driver details, stops, contact number, routes, etc. This application may be widely used by the college students since Android smart phones have become common and affordable for all. It is a real time system as the current location of the bus is updated every moment in the form of latitude and longitude, which is received by the students through their application on Google maps. As per point of view of parents, it is really tracking application.
