This document analyzes improving the bus management system in Lahore, Pakistan. It describes the current manual system and issues like buses not arriving on time. The proposed solution is to use GPS, RFID, and an interconnected database to track bus locations and display arrival times. This would benefit passengers and increase revenue by ensuring all passengers pay. Implementing this new automated system is found to be technically and economically feasible, and similar successful systems in other cities are cited. It recommends further study and implementation of the renewed bus management system.

Assignment: Information Management System Development
Problem or improvement: Bus Management System Submitted to: Sir Idress Group Members: Dawood Dilawar Umar Nadeem Arslan Arshad Danish Shahzad
Following is an analysis and problem statement in response to the request to improve the current Bus Management System of the city of Lahore. Introduction The purpose of this analysis is to determine whether it would be beneficial for the LTC (Lahore Transport Company) to upgrade the current system. The requester has indicated that the time of the arrival of the buses on bus stations is not sure and is not known in any scenario. This project would affect the buses, bus stations, and the bus drivers. Existing System Background Presently, the buses depart from the central bus station at a fixed time. And reach the next bus stations on their way passing through the traffic. A ticket issuer issues the tickets to the passengers, a ticket checker ensures that every passenger buys a ticket by getting into the bus at a random station and checking the ticket of every passenger manually, a time keeper tries to ensures that the buses reaches the last station in appropriate time by checking the departure time and the arrival time on a random bus station. Problems As the population of the magnificent city of Lahore is rising and the number of passengers travelling in the buses increase and the passengers usually do not have much time. The following problems have been mentioned by the LTC: Buses do not reach stations on time and causes the passengers havoc, passengers are no sure whether they should wait for the bus or use another mode of transport. The manual ticket checking system sometimes causes error and some passengers travel without tickets. Proposed Solution GPS and RFID systems should be deployed on the buses so that they can be tracked and there approximate arrival time on a bus station should be displayed on screens, deployed on the stations, using inter connected database. The ticket or passenger pass should be validated while entering the departure station and when leaving the exit station. (e.g metro bus system) Benefits of the New or Modified System Following are the number of benefits that could be realized if the current bus management system of Lahore Transport Company is modified or renewed to enable passengers reaches the destination on time and to change the manual ticket checking system of the current system. Passengers can be sure about the time of arrival of buses on the stations. None of the passenger can travel without paying fare thus increasing the revenue. Quality of transport will be increased and trust of passengers on the company will increase. Through the automatic ticket checking system the company could eliminate the need of a ticket checker. Feasibility of a New or Modified System Operational A modified Bus Management System will require the passengers to verify their pass before entering and leaving the station. In addition to surety that every passenger pays the fare, passengers will also be able to check the time of arrival of a bus on the stations as well as online.
Schedule The deployment of the modified system will take approximately 3-4 months.
Technical The Lahore Transport Company will need to buy new database servers and buy packaged or custom software to manage the database and ticketing system on the stations. Also it will need to buy GPS and RFID systems as well as screens to deploy on the buses and bus stations, respectively.
Economic The cost for the development of a single station would cost around 3000$ each including the ticket checking system, RFID and screens. There are almost 120 LTC stations around Lahore so the development of the stations would cost around 360000$. The deployment of the GPS and RFID in the buses would cost almost 100$ for each bus and LTC have around 100 buses so it would cost around 10000$. And the elimination of ticket checkers would save almost 10000$ per month. LTC would also need to buy new database servers that would cost around 15000$.

Recommendation Based on the findings presented in this report it is highly recommended a continued study and implementation of the renewed bus management system.
