Transport demand in most Indian cities has increased significantly due to increase in population as a result of both natural increase and migration from rural areas and smaller towns fast growth of India's population like other developing countries has trigger a greater need for used organized public transport system.Automation of bus transport has been gaining more importance because they provide accurate information of buses like reservation, air charges, route information, bus information etc anywhere and anytime.The dissertation has been divided into six modules based on the functionalities of the system namely, information system module, reservation system module.Administartive management system module, fleet management system module, and warehouse module and financial module.These modules have been designed to build up an integrated system to cover various aspects of automated bus transport management system.They provide full information about the bus enquiry, buses schedules, buses fairs, buses ticket reservation, buses time table enquiry. Objectives of the Proposed Research Work:The main objective behind developing this software is to ease managed bus transportation system.Various modules are used in this dissertation.All function of modules can be developed in this program that is ease to passenger work.Software for managing transportation operations of all types: shippers, airlines, bus, train, taxi, moving companies, transportation rental agencies, etc.These programs feature modules for tracking and managing every aspect of vehicle maintenance, fuel costing, routing and mapping, warehousing, communications, EDI implementations, traveler and cargo handling, carrier selection and management, accounting, etc.The benefits that automation technology can provide, beyond those achievable with conventional, nonautomated bus operations, include: Permitting precision docking at bus stops, so that physically impaired passengers can more easily gain access to and from the buses and speeding up the loading and unloading processes for all passengers: Facilitating maintenance operations and saving labor?ordinarily used to move buses through routine overnight maintenance and cleaning processes; Smoother and safer travel for passengers, increasing passenger riding comfort and reducing crash costs for operators; significantly higher vehicle and passenger capacity per lane, by enabling buses to operate at shorter headway than under manual driver control; Reduced fuel consumption and emissions for buses that can operate in automated platoons with small enough separations (half vehicle length or less) that aerodynamic drag can be reduced significantly; Potentially reduced driver labor costs for the portion of the bus trip that operates on the automated lane.These six modules have different work in this dissertation:- Information Management System: Reservation system Administrative Management system Fleet Management System Warehouse Management System Financial Management systemThe need to increase the capacity of public transport and make it more attractive to mitigate the problems of urban congestion and vehicular pollution is broadly recognized.Though rail transit systems provide high capacity and are well suited for high-density corridors, they are expensive and take along time to build.Hence, many countries opt for Buses as a low cost and quicker alternative to increase the capacity of the public transport system.The network of automated reservation, connected to the Data Processing Center of the system, allows for speeding the service of passengers, bringing greater order to accounting and financial reports connected with the commercial activity of large bus stations.Another property of the system meets the needs of the timesthe possibility for selling tickets listing last names and passports.This becomes especially important within the framework of solving the unitary problem of increasing transport security.The system's database contains differentiated technological information including data on:
