Abstract
The scope of the project is to develop a real-time, cross-platform, scalable and reliable vehicle location tracking application. Location tracking of buses of an organization has been a persistent problem as the organization expands their operations. The transportation of employees using the bus fleet services of the organization serves to be a bottleneck due to ineffective tracking systems in place. We propose a cross platform application that tackles this problem. The application follows a client-server paradigm. The server is built using Node.js and GraphQL API. The client is built using React.js and Capacitor.js. The location updates are handled using WebSockets API. The passenger can track the location of bus in real time. The passenger receives SMS notifications of the location of bus. The admin can orchestrate the operations of the entire application. The driver client is used to track the location of buses. The project aims to minimize the tracking infrastructure and to adapt to modern technologies.
