Abstract

Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC) provides a bus tracking system for all students, faculty, staff and Department of Student Affairs (DSA) staff. However, the collection and analysis capabilities of this system are not comprehensive enough. This poses a problem in that it is difficult for DSA staff to generate a bus schedule that will meet the needs of most passengers. Therefore, the bus tracking system will include more comprehensive collection and analysis features to reduce the workload of DSA staff. This is a project within the TAR UC Smart Campus project. The project is divided into two parts, the front-end and the back-end. The front-end is a mobile application that collects data from passengers, which are travel plans and bus seat reservations. The back-end is a web application that is used to analyze the data collected from passengers and generate analysis reports including Plan Schedule Analysis, Class & Exam Timetable Analysis, Bus Schedule Suggestion and Demand of Bus Analysis for DSA staff to generate a good bus schedule. Both of these parts were handled by two students. The system development model used to develop this project was the spiral model. The fact gathering techniques used were brainstorming, document analysis and interviews. The tools used for system design were Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Entity-relationship model (ERD). Tests for Plan Schedule Analysis, Class & Exam Timetable Analysis and Bus Schedule Suggestion were functional, interactive, and performance tests. These three features have been developed successfully and are working properly now.
