Aplicación web para el control de desviaciones de rutas en el transporte publico mediante IOT en la ciudad de Cañar

Abstract

The solution proposed in this project is a real-time technological improvement by implementing geolocation tools and IoT technologies in public transport management in Cañar, Ecuador. The main objective is to improve the control of transport units and contact with users through a web platform. This solution is effective, sustainable and adaptable, and largely solves the challenges of urban transport in the region. The use of real-time monitoring technologies will offer an increase in operational efficiency and improvements in user experience. To develop the project, we began by exploring a three-phase architecture: data acquisition, backend and frontend. The use of a GPS module connected to the Raspberry Pi for geolocation, while for real-time data transmission the MQTT protocol and the use of 4G networks were required. In the backend, the received JSON data was processed and stored in a MySQL database. Finally, we implemented Mapbox and OpenStreetMap in the frontend for interactive visualization of routes, stops and locations in real time. The results were sufficient to demonstrate that the system is working properly, visualizing routes and accurately locating transport units on a web portal that users can access. It also worked well for real-time transmission and data storage. In response to this, it was concluded that public transport management and monitoring is possible thanks to the integration between IoT technologies and open-source tools; therefore, it is considered a viable and replicable solution for other similar scenarios.
