摘要：The need for a more efficient transit system has led transport authorities in urban centres to implementAutomatic Vehicle Location Systems (AVLS). This enables transport authorities to observe, collect and analyzelocation information about a commuter vehicle in real time and transmit this information to the transport managementcentres and passengers. This paper focuses on the development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) based AVLS.Components used in developing the AVLS include GPS module, Global System for Mobile communication(GSM)/General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) module and an Arduino Uno Rev microcontroller; these componentsmake up the In-Vehicle-Unit (IVU) to be installed in a commuter vehicle of interest. Deployment of the developedAVLS on a public bus transit shows that it can be effectively and accurately used to retrieve vehicle locationinformation which could further avail transport management authorities the opportunity to monitor their vehicles cumdrivers and ensure that they do not deviate from their assigned vehicle routes and schedules.
