Perancangan Sistem Pemantau Lokasi pada Bus Lintas USU

Abstract

Transportation is a frequently used and essential aspect of human activities. In the case of campuses with extensive area, service like buses are often provided free of charge to students without personal vehicle to facilitating their mobility. In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), technology can be leveraged to establish a system for monitoring the location of buses. In its operation, the bus monitoring device required coordinates as parameters, relying on the functionality of the GPS module GY-NEO6MV2. Additionally, the device needs the SIM800L communication module to integrate with applications through the internet network. The Arduino Nano microcontroller is employed to connect the GPS and communication modules, enabling the successful construction of this bus monitoring device according to the provided program. In the developed application, the Digital Map OpenStreetMap plays a crucial role in displaying the coordinates provided by the device, allowing users to monitor the bus location.
