Real Time Bus Tracking System using Sim808 and Firebase

Abstract

Fleet operators mostly use tracking systems to track a vehicle position, routing, and others. This event is a good way of preventing stolen of our cars. This tracking system gives us the geographic coordinates, and it can track our vehicle location on electronic maps using the internet using these coordinates. By using those tracking systems, we can share transportation information in real time. And information or location of trains and buses can be shared with passengers in real time. Means passengers can see the bus arrive on mobiles in real time. In this project, SIM808 (GPS module) is used to continuously obtain the coordinates (latitude and longitude) as a string. Using the Node MCU ESP8266 (Wi-Fi module), it will then send the vehicle coordinates to the Firebase Cloud database. An android application can pull Firebase data and view the vehicle's positions in the map. So let users see where the vehicle is and can track their movement.
