In this paper, we present a bus arrival time prediction
system. The proposed ECEG system is primarily relying on
powerful smart phone installed in bus and independent from
the bus operating companies. We comprehensively evaluate
the system through an android prototype system. Over 4-
weeks experiment period, the evaluation results demonstrate
that our system can accurately predicts the bus arrival time.
For a particular city, the only requirement of our system
implementation is that there exist a back-end server and a smart
phone installed in bus.
It is a challenging task to predict bus arrival time at stops,
and still a lot of work need to be done. Future work includes
how to take more factors that affects bus arrival time prediction
into account, such as congestion, delays of intersections, bad
weather and so on. These factors influence the bus arrival time
prediction accuracy
