Locating Real-time Location of Perak Transit Buses and Determining its Estimation of Time of Arrival (ETA) at a Particular Bus Stop through the Development of Mobile Application on Android Platform

The main objective of this project is to develop a mobile application as an alternative to empower the current passengers and prospective users of Perak Transit buses. The mobile application will be known as ‘myPerakTransit’ is designed and developed to enable users to track the real-time location of Perak Transit buses and providing them with the estimation of arrival time of a particular bus to reach a specific bus station. Although there are many applications and of similar nature, this project differentiates from others through additional features that facilitate for the users of the Perak Transit buses in making informed travelling decision.
The project will be developed using Rapid Application Development (RAD) method through the use of prototyping and utilize the GPS technology to track the location of the buses. This paper consists of five (5) chapters: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results and Discussions, and Conclusion and Recommendations for ‘myPerakTransit’.
