Poly students invent system that lets commuters know where a bus is along its route
Singapore -TODAYonline, by Gracia Chianggracia -20 Jan 207: -- So are three final-year students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. That's why they developed a smart system that allows commuters to track where a bus is along its route... Collaborating with the Land Transport Authority (LTA), he and two electrical engineering teammates, Mr Du Si Jun, 25, and Ms Cheng Xi, 20, have come up with the Intelligent Bus User System (iBus), which extracts data from bus-operator servers... The system makes use of plasma screens installed at bus stops to indicate if a bus is six to eight stops away, and it is programmed to alert commuters when a bus is approaching... The aim is to help commuters — especially the elderly, who may not be able to see bus numbers from afar — flag the bus in good time... The operator has its own service that lets commuters check bus arrival times via their mobile phones... (Picture: Downtown Singapore)
