Hey guys,
I am planning a final year project on a bus positioning system using GSM.
The goal is to develop an information system, which will provide specific information to people who use the public means of transportation, like bus proximity estimation.
Every bus will have a positioning unit (RFID based or manual) which will generate a time stamp as soon as it reaches it a bus stop. This time stamp will be sent as an SMS via a GSM module to the Central Repository (CR, a GSM module connected to a PC), which will maintain a database of all the buses’ location.
At the client side, any user can request the location of the bus through an SMS. The CRR will be responsible for generating the reply message, which will contain information about the location estimation.
I am very new to handling GSM modems or using AT commands as such. I just want to know whether the project is feasible. For the demo, i plan to use a 2 GSM modems one on a bus, and other on the CR. As the CR has to make a database of all the buses' location, and send the appropriate bus location when asked for by a client, it must have a searching/sorting technique to do so. Will this be possible?
