Problem statement
Students can’t rely on the IITD buses for transportation.
❏ Set up system so that students can get to know the live location of
bus.
❏ Also the timings at which the bus should come need to be altered
so that maximum students can be catered. Like the demand is at
peak at 8 am and 9 am.
❏ Rikshawallas to be inculcated into the system. This can be done by
tracking their position as well, or finding any other better
solution.
Innovation and novelty in idea
There was a project to distribute phones to rikshawallas and track their live
location but was cancelled due to high data rates then among other
problems.
We conducted a small survey among our batchmates and found that many
students miss the buses just by a couple of minutes. Also they all found the
buses to be very unreliable, most of them agreeing on all the problems
stated.
● This is the time table at Shivalik bus
stop. But it is totally outdated.
● As we did some field work on the
timings, one day the bus arrived at
8:45 am and on the next day at 8:53
am.
● No bus came between 7:53 am and
8:50 am.
