The Development of the 'MyBus' Application for Sultan Idris Education University

Abstract

The increasing demand for efficient and reliable transportation within university campuses has led to developing the 'MyBus' application at Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI). This study aims to enhance the mobility of students and staff by providing real-time bus tracking and optimized routing information. The application addresses common issues such as unpredictable bus schedules and lack of real-time updates, ensuring reduced waiting times and improved satisfaction. Using agile methodology, the development process included detailed requirement analysis, design, and implementation phases. Key features, such as a user-friendly interface and real-time data processing, were incorporated. The application was tested in a controlled environment, demonstrating a 20% reduction in average waiting times and high user satisfaction. The findings suggest that 'MyBus' significantly enhances campus transportation efficiency and user experience. Future enhancements will explore integrating additional features like push notifications and further service optimizations.
