        abstract = {In institutional contexts, punctual and well-organized travel depends on effective transportation management. The goal of this project is to increase the efficiency of college transportation services by creating an integrated system for managing passenger attendance and bus schedule tracking. In order to improve operating efficiency and reduce delays and needless pauses, the system integrates a systematic approach to route planning and passenger coordination. 
A smartphone application that enables two essential features—automated passenger attendance monitoring and real-time bus schedule tracking—will be used to deploy the system. In order to improve planning and seat distribution, instructors and students will be able to confirm their travel arrangements ahead of time. A display next to the driver will receive this data, showing a clear list of anticipated passengers together with their assigned boarding and drop-off locations. The driver will be able to improve overall service reliability, cut down on idle time, and optimize routes with this method.In order to reduce travel inefficiencies, save time, and enhance user convenience, the proposed system will streamline passenger management and provide better coordination of transportation resources. By cutting down on wasteful fuel use and operating expenses, it also promotes efficient resource use. Including a systematic attendance system improves the overall experience for both passengers and transport administration while also ensuring accountability.},
