Building a Real Time Bus Tracking Data Display SystemWave Transit of Wilmington, NC has a bus tracking system in which the buses send their coordinates (latitude and longitude, among other data) to a central database every thirty seconds using AT&T's cellular data service. This data allows the dispatcher to know where all the buses are at any given time. The data has previously been used on the Wave Transit website to show the current location of specific buses. Because Wave Transit opened a new central bus station they wanted to make this data available to the passengers who come to the station in a way that benefits them. |
