Towards Ubiquitous Computing in Indonesia Automated Bus System

Abstract

The traffic jam becomes the biggest problem in urban area especially in Jakarta as the capital city of Indonesia. This is due to inadequate facilities of public transportation so, people prefers to use the private vehicles. The government has given the solution to enhance that but it is still not effective and it made the situation of traffic jam became worst. This paper proposed the Automated Bus System (ABS) to improve the existing system and enhance the traffic jam problem. This bus system has the ability to ride on his own without relying on any human driver. It can recognize any obstacles and avoid any collision using stereo vision technology. RFID technology is used to improve the accuracy. Still, this whole system is monitored by human operators. If there is any failure beyond the ability of system. the human operators could recognize the problem.
