Design of an urban vehicle tracking prototype for the Zacatenco Smart Campus under the GTFS standard

Abstract

This work presents an IoT prototype for vehicle tracking and uses part of the GTFS standard to present to users of a Web page the real-time information of public transport vehicles that make routes in the Zacatenco University Campus of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico. The IoT node communicates using LoRa wireless technology with a server where the GTFS standard information is stored, as well as the routes of the vehicles. The IoT node is implemented with an Arduino MKR WAN 1300 board and a MKR Shell GPS module.
