摘要

Transport systems need to be efficient and sustainable to solve rural mobility problems. In this paper, we discuss the use of low-cost GPS- enabled technologies and solar-powered smart bus stops to maximise the efficiency of rural bus transport. This system uses installed GPS devices on each bus for tracking, allowing real-time scheduling, and eliminating waiting time. Energy independence and use convenience are enabled by solar-powered smart stops with LED displays, mobile charging stations, and Wi-Fi hotspots. A dedicated mobile app provides passengers with information regarding bus locations, estimated arrival times and seat availability, thus increasing accessibility and reducing ambiguity even more. The candidate results of the simulation indicate significant decrease histograms in terms of fuel consumption, travel time, and carbon emissions which shows the cost-effective and environmentally friendly potential of this method for rural transportation. It offers a scalable, sustainable solution for enhancing public transport networks in areas that are lagging.
