ABSTRACT

A typical application of ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) is the location of vehicles on the road infrastructure as from the location you can get various information associated, such as average speed, set to the target time, congestion, among others. So the location of the bus in the corridors of BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) are very important and help to improve the quality of services (QoS) provided by the urban public transport. This article presents one of the technologies used to make the bus location, which is the GPS (Global Positioning System) is a system that identifies the position of the bus through the use of global positioning satellites.
