1ANDROID BUS TRACKING APPLICATION IN THAILAND
Abstract
The project is prepared by android bus tracking application by the use of GPS and Android
location network provider. The application allows bus users to track live information about
bus arrival and departure timings and also the route followed by each bus numbers. With this
application the bus drivers will update all information related to the bus timings and thus
helping the passengers to plan any trip by choosing their suitable bus routes.

Literature Review
1.1 Introduction
The key objective of this literature evaluation is to examine the usefulness in the
implementation of Android Bus Tracking Application in Bangkok. The research focuses on
the overview of the transport system in Bangkok and the attempts to establish a live bus
tracking application that would benefit the service quality by its advanced features.
Thailand always pays special consideration to its transportation for both land and rail
(Jaensirisak et al., 2016). The government of Thailand projected a policy to provide
convenient transportation facility to its people and maintain the safety standard in
transportation system. Public transportation is an important key factor in any large city and
thus the implementation of android bus tracking system would improve the safety standards
as well as provide the people to track any bus at any point of time.
The project aims at building an application system that would record the arrival and
departure information of the bus in the bus terminal. GPS technology in public transport will
not only function as tracking application but would make the drivers more cautious about
driving and the road safety measures, knowing that the vehicle is constantly monitored in
every step.

includes, MRT Subway, taxis, songthaews, express boats and buses. People in Bangkok can
choose any suitable public transport to get to their destination. The underground MRT rail
system connects the shopping mall and other business area of the city while express boats can
