摘要：In Tanzania, there has never been a technology for automatic monitoring and reporting excessive passengers in public buses. Despitehaving some stationing police at different locations for manual check up, the increase in prevalence of excessive passengers stillpersists. The finding of this study indicates that many deaths and injuries when accidents occur are caused by two major factors whichare passengers overloading and not wearing seat belts. Many people are losing their lives and some are severely injured whenaccidents occur. The purpose of this work has been to develop a system for monitoring and reporting excessive passengers in publictransport in Tanzania. It is based on Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR), Global Positioning System (GPS), and Global System for MobileCommunication (GSM) modem. The system is connected with SQL Server database which receives and stores all information. Thesystem monitors the number of passengers boarding in public buses and reports to the respective authorities when a certain presetnumber is exceeded. This helps to control excessive passengers. Hence reduce the number of deaths and severe injuries whenaccidents occur, also helps eradicating bribery as through manual check the bus attendant can bribe the traffic police officer,communications to the traffic police officer will be improved as well as the bus owners, and improves the current system for manualcheck. Finally the passengers can find a sufficient level of mobility and satisfy their important needs for the efficient movement undersafe and comfortable conditions
