A bus tracker application to track a bus using GPS transceiver has been proposed in this paper. The objective of this work is to develop a system that manages and controls the transport using a tracking device to know the scheduled vehicle and the current location of the vehicle via SMS using a GPS tracking device. It uses the satellite technology and advanced computer modeling to track vehicles on their routes. The system is implemented using a WAMP server and an application to track the bus is written in PHP with MYSQL as a database for storing the necessary details.
