Electronics and Communication Engineering
Man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate for the
sustenance and well-being since time immemorial. Due to this a lot of energy
resources have been exhausted and wasted. Proposal for the utilization of
waste energy of foot power with human locomotion is very much relevant and
important for highly populated countries like India where the railway station,
temples etc., are overcrowded all round the clock. When the flooring is
engineered with piezo electric technology, the electrical energy produced by
the pressure is captured by floor sensors and converted to an electrical charge
by piezo transducers, then stored and used as a power source. And this power
source has many applications as in agriculture, home application and street
lighting and as energy source for sensors in remote locations. This paper is all
about generating electricity when people walk on the Floor. Think about the
forces you exert which is wasted when a person walks. The idea is to convert
the weight energy to electrical energy The Power generating floor intends to
trans- late the kinetic energy to the electrical power. Energy Crisis is the main
issue of world these days. The motto of this research work is to face this crisis
somehow. Though it won't meet the requirement of electricity but as a matter
of fact if we are able to design a power generating floor that can produce
100W on just 12 steps, then for 120 steps we can produce 1000 Watt and if
we install such type of 100 floors with this system then it can produce
1MegaWatt. Which itself is an achievement to make it significant.
INTRODUCTION

The Utilization of the Waste Energy foot Power With human motion is very
important and highly populated countries. India and china where the roads
railway stations, temples Etc, Are all over crowded and millions of people
move around the clock.
PIEZOELECTRIC SENSOR
TREE DIAGRAM
WORKING
The main components of the system include piezoelectric sensors, voltage
boosters, voltage regulator, PIC microcontroller, battery, LCD display, LDR and
a socket for mobile charging. Here in this this system, at first, the output from
an array of piezo electric sensors is fed into voltage booster. In the system,
two voltage boosters are used to boost the voltage to get the desired output.
The output from piezoelectric sensor is in the range of 3 V to 4 V. It has to be
boosted to a range of 9 V to 12V with the help of voltage boosters. A constant
output voltage irrespective of fluctuations will be maintained by a voltage
regulator. This regulated voltage is stored in the battery and is fed to the
microcontroller. The LCD which is interfaced with the microcontroller in turn
displays the amount of charge stored by the battery. In this system the power
generated has been used for two applications such as lighting a street light
and charging a mobile phone. A LDR is used to indicate the street light
application. A buzzer is used to alert when the battery voltage falls below the
required voltage for charging the microcontroller. For PIC microcontroller 5 V
is required for its working. The mobile charging socket also requires 5 V for its
operation. A pull down resistor is used in the socket to pull down the voltage
to 5 V. The power is generated by simply walking over a step. The system does
not need any fuel input for its functioning this is a non-conventional system in
which battery is used to store the generated power. Even though the force is
used to generate power, the system is applicable to particular places.
Mechanical moving parts used in the system are large there by increasing the
cost. The power generation using footsteps can be implemented effectively in
schools, colleges, cinema theaters, shopping complexes, temples and many
other buildings.
MICROCONTROLLER UNIT
The main controlling unit of the entire system is a microcontroller. The input
of the microcontroller is the output from the voltage generator. For the
project PIC8F4520 is used The filter used removes the AC components from
the output voltage of the sensor. It acts like a short circuit for ac voltage and
open circuit for dc voltage. A LCD display is interfaced with the
microcontroller.
VOLTAGE BOOSTER
MOBILE CHARGING
Designed the external circuit connection the as per the block diagram by using
PIC16F677.The input of the PIC is given from the piezo electric crystal. The
output from 15th pin of the PIC is given as a socket input. The output from the
socket is 5v which can be used for a mobile charging.
FUTURE SCOPE
The piezoelectric crystals have being start better use with the positive result.
In china and Japan, maximum public movement is observed in railway station,
airports and shopping malls. Hence this place can be used for piezoelectric
crystals for generation of electric power. Apart from all the above places
attempts are made to develop energy from our daily life by initialing
piezoelectric in shoes thus in each step piezoelectric crystal can be
compressed which can turned enough power to charge a cell phone,mp3
player etc. Through this we can generate electric power and used that for
small electronic gadgets.

system energy meters are connected to the internet i.e., IoT concept and it
eliminates the human intervention in electricity maintenance. This paper is
presented in six sections including introduction section. Section II
presents the details of proposed prototype IoT based smart energy meter
system.
Title 2: IOT Based Smart Energy Meter for Efficient Energy Utilization in
Smart Grid.
Introduction:
Smart grid plays an important role in our current society and in our networks.
Smart meters play a vital role. Smart meter provides immediate monitoring of
reliable status, automatic information collection, user interaction and energy
control. It also provides a double flow of information between consumers and
suppliers, provides better control and efficiency. It also provides real-time
consumption information and provides power control. As long as the
customer's maximum load demand exceeds the maximum value, the
electricity supply to customers will be separated with the help of an intelligent
power meter. In an ideal environment with normal workload conditions, the
smart meter has a service life of 5 to 6 years.
In project, the use age of the smart meter with IOT technology is
introduced. The IOT-based power meter system consists mainly of three main
parts, which are remote control, Wi-Fi and theft detection part. When there is
an error or theft, the theft detection sensor detects the error response and the
circuit according to the information it receives. The console plays a key role in
the system to ensure that all components work well. Therefore, Internet of
things can improve the performance and efficiency of the smart grid mainly in
the three phases.
Title 3: Implementation of Smart Meter Working as IEEE1888-6LoWPAN
Gateway for the Building Energy Management Systems.
Introduction:
When building the power management system, Smart Meter (SM) plays an
important role in helping users feel active and determine energy
consumption. As a result, multiple efforts have been made to improve the
function of this device in order to contribute to the reduction of energy
consumption towards a green economy and sustainable development. In
addition to SM, other protocols have been developed to achieve intelligent,
convenient and safe management and control between buildings or building
blocks. With the growing growth of devices connected to the Internet, the
Internet of things, the integration of millions of devices into the Internet IPv4
is not the best option. Therefore, IPv6 is designed to solve this problem. IPv6
allows more Internet based devices. IPv6 is more complex than IPv4;
therefore, devices usually consume more energy. Based on previous concerns,
the low power IPv6 protocol was developed for the wireless personal area
network to reduce consumption.
PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
Our proposed system uses the Arduino UNO board, Wi-Fi module and a LCD
display. The Wi-Fi module is the main component in the IOT operation. The
Arduino UNO board is connected to a sensor which will sense the meter
readings and the readings are then processed and are updated over the Wi-Fi
through the Wi-Fi module. The readings are updated over the webpage which
can be easily accessed by the users. This allows the user to easily check the
energy usage byusing a simple web application. Thus this system allows the
users to effectively monitor the electric meter readings and check the billing
online with ease
HARDWARE DETAILS

one after the other in the following section.
Design Model
In the prototype system the power utility maintains a server and each
consumer are provided an energy meter. The server, power sim meters and
Wi-Fi module are used to communicate with each other using Wi-Fi network.
Fig 2 shows prototype power sim energy management system. The energy
meter consists of a microcontroller (ATmega328), energy measuring chip
(AAE7751), Current transformer, potential transformer, LCD display and a
relay. The energy consumption by counting the output pulses of the EM chip

communicate with the Wi-Fi module. The Embedded C programming language
has been used to program the microcontroller and to connect the server
respectively.
Digital Electronic Energy Meters: Digital signal processor or high performance
microcontrollers are used in digital electric meters. Similar to the Analog
meters, voltage and current transducers are connected to a high resolution
ADC. Once it converts Analog signals to digital samples, voltage and current
samples are multiplied and integrated by digital circuits to measure the
energy consumed. Microcontroller also calculates phase angle between
voltage and current, so that it also measures and indicates reactive power. It is
programmed in such a way that it calculates energy according to the tariff and
other parameters like power factor, maximum demand, etc. and stores all
these values in a non-volatile memory EEPROM. It contains real time clock
(RTC) for calculating time for power integration, maximum demand
calculations and also date and time stamps for particular parameters. Further
it interacts with liquid crystal display (LCD), communication devices and
other meter outputs. Battery is provided for RTC and other significant
peripherals for backup power.
Arduino
Current Arduino boards are programmed via Universal Serial Bus (USB),
implemented using USB-to-serial adapter chips such as the FTDI FT232 is
shown in figure 3. Some boards, such as later-model Uno boards, substitute
the FTDI chip with a separate AVR chip containing USB-to-serial firmware,
which is reprogrammable via its own ICSP header. Other variants, such as the
Arduino Mini and the unofficial Boarding, use a detachable USB-to-serial
adapter board or cable, Bluetooth or other methods, when used with
traditional microcontroller tools instead of the Arduino IDE, standard AVR in-
system programming (ISP) programming issued.
LCD display
ADVANTAGES

2. Every month the person from electricity department has not to visit the
consumer house for the note down the consumed energy hence labour work
get reduced.
3. The cost of this device is not more because the system uses the low cost
equipment and also the installed energy meter will not be replaced or
tampered. From the installed energy meter authorized this system takes the
input.
CONCLUSION

meter is a step forward and it mainly focusses on the connectivity &
networking factor of the IoT. In this system, an energy consumption
calculation based on the counting of calibration pulses is designed and
implemented using Arduino Uno MCU in embedded system domain. In the
proposed work, IoT based meter reading system is used to continuously
monitor the meter reading, current energy consumption, theft detection and

INNOVATIVE PROJECT
INTRODUCTION
In this project, you are to choose appropriate sensors according to what you
would like to detect and design algorithms to realize your detection.
The system was to collect a heartbeat detection system data, fall detection
system data, temperature data and few other parameters. The data from the single
parameter monitoring systems was then availed for remote detection.
ii) ECG consists of a non-invasive infrared finger detector, Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD)
iii) designed circuit for cardiac signal detection and microcontroller. The detected
analog signal was then digitized to give a digital value that was read on the LCD.
iv) A simple cloud server where hosted with a database for all the vital data to be
accessed remotely whenever required.
EXISTING SYSTEM
The sensors are attached to the body of the patients without causing any
discomfort to them. In this PMS we monitor the important physical parameters like
body temperature, ECG, heart beat rate and blood pressure using the sensors which
are readily available.
Thus, the analog values that are sensed by the different sensors are then
given to a microcontroller attached to it. The microcontroller processes these
analog signal values of health parameters separately and converts it to digital
values using ADC converter.
Now, the digitalized values from more than one microcontroller are sent to
the Central PMS. Each of the sensors attached microcontroller with a transceiver
will act as a module which has its own unique ID.
Each module transmits the data wirelessly to the gateway attached to the PC
of the Central PMS. The gateway is attached to the PC i.e. Central PMS which is
situated in the medical center, is capable for selecting different patient IDs and
allowing the gateway to receive different physical parameter values the patient
specified by the ID.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this project, three LED modules were interconnected with the Arduino
Uno board along with buzzer. When the patient is in emergency, he will press the
buzzer.
Alarm will alert the nurse. LED light of that corresponding room will glow
and it indicates that the corresponding glowing room is under emergency and it
helps the nurse to identify the patient who is under emergency.
LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits
light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine
with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. The color of the light
(corresponding to the energy of the photons) is determined by the energy required
for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor. White light is obtained by
using multiple semiconductors or a layer of light-emitting phosphor on the
semiconductor device
Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962, the earliest LEDs
emitted low intensity infrared (IR) light. Infrared LEDs are used in remote-
control circuits, such as those used with a wide variety of consumer electronics.
The first visible-light LEDs were of low intensity and limited to red.
LEDs have many advantages over incandescent light sources, including lower
power consumption, a longer lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller sizes,
and faster switching. In exchange for these generally favorable attributes,
disadvantages of LEDs include electrical limitations to low voltage and generally
to DC (not AC) power, the inability to provide steady illumination from a pulsing
DC or an AC electrical supply source, and a lesser maximum operating
temperature and storage temperature.
BUZZER
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may
be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses
of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers, train and confirmation of
user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
Piezoelectric
Piezoelectric buzzers, or piezo buzzers, as they are sometimes called, were
invented by Japanese manufacturers and fitted into a wide array of products during
the 1970s to 1980s. This advancement mainly came about because of cooperative
efforts by Japanese manufacturing companies. In 1951, they established the
Barium Titanate Application Research Committee, which allowed the companies
to be "competitively cooperative" and bring about several piezoelectric innovations
and inventions.
ARDUINO
CONCLUSION
INNOVATIVE PROJECT
Automatic Light Controller Using Arduino and PIR Sensor can be used to turn ON and OFF the
illumination system of college routinely by sensing the existence of human .” Such Automatic Lights
structures may be applied on your Classrooms, college cabins. Where in we do now no longer want
steady mild however best whilst people are existing”. Also, with the help of this system, we will shop

fixtures can be spontaneously became ON or OFF. This Project contains Automatic room light using
Arduino, PIR sensor and relay module. PIR sensor will detect the movement based totally on reaction

INTRODUCTION
Not only may energy-efficient buildings save costs, but they can also be comfortable and offer lots of
natural light. These characteristics make a college's learning atmosphere more favorable. Human
comfort has become much more difficult due to mechanical switches, which have also grown neglect.
Maximum power loss has been found in these situations, which further reduces productivity and
development. One comprehensive approach to combating this kind of carelessness is to work toward
automating power control. It has been noted that most air conditioners and lighting systems are
neglected by students or lecturers after classes, which results in wasted electricity in colleges. Building
an automation system is becoming more and more necessary for homes and offices due to its many
advantages.
Efficient and cost-effective automated systems for monitoring and managing various appliances such
as air conditioners, fans, lighting, and other devices are being developed by researchers and
industrialists. Automation guarantees effective utilization and low electricity loss.
Reduced energy use is necessary due to rising energy costs. In educational facilities like lecture halls
and rooms, a substantial quantity of energy is consumed for lighting and air conditioning. Thus, in
order to prevent wasting energy during empty hours, modifications are required.
To cut expenses, demand-based controls for the lighting and air conditioning will be used. A lecture
hall, school, laboratory, or resident hall might all need an energy control system. Among the essential
energies in modern human life is electricity. Most customers are unaware of the significance of
lowering the cost of energy, therefore investments in controlling and conserving this resource are
necessary due to rising costs associated with production and delivery as well as rising demand.
Because of this requirement, an Arduino board and a motion sensor were used to detect human body
heat in order to build this energy-saving project. When the sensor finds nobody is in any of the
classrooms or lecture halls, the arduino will calculate to a predefined time, say 10 minutes. The air
conditioning and lighting systems will automatically reset if any students enter the lecture hall during
this period. Nevertheless, the air conditioner and lighting will automatically shut off if the hallway
remains unoccupied.
The following image shows the circuit diagram of the project implemented using Arduino UNO, PIR
Sensor and a Relay Module.

Hardware Detail
Arduino Uno
Based on the ATmega328P microprocessor, the Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board.
A reset button, a power jack, an ICSP header, six analog inputs, a USB port, and fourteen digital I/O
pins are all included. All the modules required to support the microcontroller are included in it. Simply
use a USB cable to connect it to a computer, or an adapter to supply power, to begin going. Without
giving it too much thought, you can explore with your Arduino.
A typical Arduino UNO board's layout is seen in the following figure. Every component is positioned
onthe PCB's top side.
A Type-B USB connector, which is used to power on the board and program the microcontroller, is
visible on the left short edge of the board. To supply an external power source, there is also a 2.1 mm
DC jack.
Given that the Arduino UNO is built around the ATmega328P microcontroller, the majority of its
technical specs pertain to the ATmega328P MCU. However, allow me to provide you with a quick
rundown of some of the most crucial Arduino UNO specs.
Power up the Arduino UNO
There are two methods for providing power to the UNO board. Using a Type-B USB connector is the
first and easiest method. The second method involves giving the UNO's VIN pin (Pin number 26) an
uncontrolled supply between 6 and 20 volts.
Alternatively, the 2.1mm DC Jack can be used to supply an unregulated supply; in this instance, the
VIN Pin can be used to access the supplied voltage.
This is exclusive to the Arduino UNO Board's chosen microcontroller, the ATmega328P. Atmel
ATmega328P has access to three distinct memory types. They're:
32 KB of FLASH MEMORY
Two kilobytes of SRAM
One kilobyte of EEPROM
The boot loader code uses 0.5 KB of the Flash Memory.
Input and output are connected to 22 of the 32 pins on the UNO board. True digital input/output (D0–
D13) pins are those 14 pins. You can use the pinMode(), digitalWrite(), and digitalRead() functions to
configure these pins to your application's specifications.
The highest permissible current for any of these Digital IO pins is 40mA, and they can all
source or sink 20mA of current. An extra feature of the Digital IO pins is the availability of
internal pull-up resistor (which is not attached by default).
The internal pull-up resistor will have a value between 20KΩ and 50KΩ.
Additionally, six analog input pins (A0 to A5) are present. The analogRead() function may be
used to read the 10-bit resolution ADC feature that is provided by all of the analog input pins.
The ability of analog input pins to be set up as digital input pins as needed is a key
feature.
8-bit PWM signals can be generated using Digital IO pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. The
Three different kinds of communication interfaces are supported by the Arduino UNO. They are as
follows:
Serial
I2C or I2C
SPI
The Serial Communication interface is arguably the most widely used one in the Arduino community.
Indeed, serial connection is used to program the Arduino boards (UNO, Nano, and Mega).
To receive and send serial data, digital IO pins 0 and 1 are utilized as serial RX and TX pins. These
pins are linked to the on-board USB to Serial Converter IC's serial pins.
Pins A4 and A5 on the analog input have different purposes. They can be set up to handle Two Wire
Interface (TWI) or I2C or SDA (A4) and SCL (A5) communication.
The SPI is the last interface for communication. SPI pins SS, MOSI, MISO, and SCK, respectively,
can be set for Digital IO Pins 10, 11, 12, and 13.
BC547 Transistor
Regarding the triode type, BC547 is fundamentally believed to be a normal NPN (Negative-Positive-
Negative) junction transistor. Furthermore essential to comprehending the foundations of the BC547
are the pin diagram and the BC547 parameter. I will go over the new electronic component, BC547,
below. Often used when quick switching is needed, this BJT transistor I suggest downloading BC547
Proteus Simulation if you intend to use this transistor in an engineering project. It is usually a better
idea to simulate before entering the hardware, as we all know. Now, let us investigate the basic
knowledge of BC547.
A capacitor can be used to store, filter, or smooth off electrical charge in many situations when
working with electronic circuits. To lessen the effects of surges, ripples, and abrupt decreases in
current, a 100μF 25V electrolytic capacitor is perfect for low frequency communications during such
periods. These variations in current are captured, managed, and capable of producing a steady, reliable
current with a capacitor to maintain the smooth operation of your projects.
Light-emitting diodes are the source of light in LED light bulbs and lamps. Being a "solid-state"
technology, LEDs use components that are enclosed in solid materials to produce light. According to
practical calculations, this means a lamp with a rated life significantly longer than those that use non-
solid-state technology (such as fluorescent, halogen, and incandescent lighting). Moreover, shock and
vibration-related lighting failures are far less common with solid-state lighting.
In order to comprehend its workings, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of PIR, or passive
infrared, the technology at the heart of it. To put it simply, infrared radiation is the radiant energy that
heated objects can emit; it has various wavelengths or frequencies and is not visible to the human eye,
though it can be felt by humans. Burning coal is a prime example of this; while the smoke is usually
invisible, it is still hot.
As waves enter an object through the atmosphere, they react by producing infrared radiation. As a
result of their excitation of the molecules within the objects, heat is produced. As it happens, infrared
is also produced by warm bodies—human and animal alike. HC-SR501 and similar devices utilize this
heat to identify variations in infrared, potentially indicating the presence of a moving body.

The Automatic Room Lights using Arduino and PIR Sensor is a simple project, where the lights in the
room will automatically turn on upon detecting a human motion and stay turned on until the person
has left or there is no motion.
Initially, when there is no human movement, the PIR Sensor doesn’t detect any person and its OUT
pin stays LOW. As the person enters the room, the change in infrared radiation in the room is detected
by the PIR Sensor.
As a result, the output of the PIR Sensor becomes HIGH. Since the Data OUT of the PIR Sensor is
connected to Digital Pin 8 of Arduino, whenever it becomes HIGH, Arduino will activate the relay by
making the relay pin LOW (as the relay module is an active LOW module).

INNOVATIVE PROJECT
INTRODUCTION
Today, the fundamental support for global economy of many industries is the
transportation of people, goods, and services. The owner of transportation networks no longer
see the actual movement of bus, but the owner expects a certain quality of service in terms of the
safety assurance, journey time, facilities provided during travel. Vehicular tracking systems has
proved to be as a useful technology for bus traveler agencies with good facilities. Bus
information taken care with RFID and existing location taken care with GPS.
Current tracking processes that are in use, such as barcode scanning software, in
situations where hundreds of bus are present, the act of scanning each individual bus to check for
proper placement can become a tedious and inefficient use of company time and energy. With
the design and implementation of an vehicle monitoring system, we are able to drastically reduce
the effort needed to monitor and track a large number of target vehicles. This prototype, when
implemented, will allow for a more efficient vehicle tracking system that saves time and, in the
end, saves money while providing a simpler tracking device. Using active RFID hardware and a
medium strength RFID receiver, we designed a prototype tracking unit to be used to solve the
issues surrounding large scale vehicle monitoring. The prototype combines the capabilities of the
RFID receiver with a GPS tracking unit and an onboard embedded device to provide a complete
base unit capable of tracking, monitoring, and saving vehicle information within one device. A
successful and complete prototype was designed and implemented over the course of this project.
The prototype properly tracks any number of target vehicles through RFID tag scanning and GPS
location checking, entered vehicle information. Individual bus details can be accessed by the user
through various menus that are provided during the running of the program. This will allow the
prototype to be adapted to many different areas of use, instead of a predetermined work
environment.
HARDWARE
The hardware part consists of Transmitter and Receiver. Transmitter is placed on the respective
bus and receiver is on the administrator’s side. The transmitter will transmits the values of
position of the bus via GPS technology and also it transmits the value of RFID tag which will be
scan by our RFID reader i.e. placed on our transmitter. Both GPS device as well as RFID tag
transmits the alphanumeric values. The respective information which is sent by the transmitter is
received by the receiver, receiver collects this information and with the help of software part all
the required output will be shown on the screen.
Transmitter
A Transmitter consists of various modules like GPS module, zigbee RFID transmitter, RFID reader
module and RFID tag and Relay. This transmitter will be kept on the bus and transmits the data to the
receiver.
Fig. Transmitter
GPS MODULE
A GPS is made up of constellation of satellites orbiting around Earth. Each satellite has a
atomic clock on its board, so it knows the precise time. As it is orbiting around the Earth, each
satellite is continuously transmitting its location at 1.575 GHz. With the help of GPS receiver
pointing at the sky, we can listen to these transmissions. When listening to 3 or more satellites
transmissions, we can triangulate our location on earth. Finally, with the help of the GPS receiver
we could find the following:
Location
Latitude and Longitude
This module includes some subcomponents such as: RFID module(sender) which is used to
transmit data from transmitter at bus to receiver at server side. The reasons for using Zigbee
RFID are that :
The system is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and consists of a
passive RFID tag. The passive micro information about the Tag ID and sends this information to
the base station. The base station receives, decodes transponder tag collects power from the 125
KHz magnetic field generated by the base station, gathers and checks the information available
in its Database and used to send those information. The system performed as desired with a
10cm diameter antenna attached to the transponder. RFID Reader Module, are also called as
interrogators. They convert radio waves returned from the RFID tag into a form that can be
passed on to Controllers, which can make use of it. RFID tags and readers have to be tuned to the
same frequency in order to communicate. RFID systems use many different frequencies, but the
most common and widely used Reader frequency is 125 KHz.
RELAY
Relay is used to toggle sending of GPS data and RFID data automatically. When the bus is
in motion the GPS receiver sends the values to relay and relay forward these values to Receiver
and when the us is not in motion and the RFID tag is scanned on RFID reader, it sends the RFID
data to relay. Relay forwards this data to receiver for further processing.
RECEIVER
Receiver consists of various modules like zigbee RFID Receiver and Step-down
transformer. Receiver will be at the server side where all data transmitted by transmitter will be
received and location is found with the help of software.

CONCLUSION
This paper mainly studied the overall design of bus management system based on multi-node
RFID cards and GPS. In this work we have developed - the autonomous informative services for
bus route map that is flexible, affordable, customizable and accurate. Through this technology,
we enable travel agent to track information about their transportation service. We have also
demonstrated the credibility of the design through field trials and the initial results obtained
through our prototype are very promising. but the advent of this technology, it would make more
sense for commuters to know the current location of bus and expected time of arrival and also
delay if any before coming to bus stop or while standing at bus stop without having to depend on
display system and this has been the major contribution of our research.
