Abstract
We introduce a systematic design plan for an urban bus location display system based on GPRS. It adopts special APN transmissions as a GPRS communication project. The system consists of four modules: bus wireless terminals, bus-location display terminals, bus company data center, and GPRS network. In this paper, the development of the database and data processing key algorithm of the bus data center are introduced, and the development of wireless terminals as well as communication protocols between the bus data center and the wireless terminals are presented. An innovative data-sending algorithm of bus location information based on the bus's sequence is presented. Tests show that this system can display the location of the nearest bus in each bus station which indicates how far the closest bus is from this site. This system can be used as a subsystem for a bus scheduling system.
