Abstract Indeterminate bus arrival times cause poor quality of service to public commuters in the Bandar Sunway area. An innovative solution to use real-time GPS data over broadband has been developed in order to solve this problem. Historical data is used to determine the estimated arrival time, taking into consideration traffic conditions based on the time of day, and weather conditions. These are taken into consideration due to the impact on road traffic and subsequently the arrival times of public

Abstract Bluetooth has become a pervasive technology among tertiary students, which affords developers a large range of possibilities in allowing them to interact with systems. The focus of this paper is on allowing users to define their Bluetooth friendly names in an attempt to send input into and get output from public displays. Users are able to drive applications onto the display and also send inputs to the application. This therefore reduces the need to install custom software on a
