Just as well known 'tile ’ and ‘trackr’ beacon is used to locate items !
I thought of a new idea where people could locate buses with ble sensors on buses and updating location data on mobiles ( app development to include the authentication mechanism ) so that location of buses are transmitted and tracked via crowd bluetooth gps
I wish to know if any hardware could be added to read and transmit data in ble tag as to when the bus crosses stops !
If not relying on user’s smartphone location !
so that the data of crossed bus stop syncs to smartphone and latter to the internet server from smartphone
I don’t think this would work because if a bus company would like to add (or use) some sort of electronics to track buses, they could either add a GPS tracker or make driver to install a mobile app which would do the trick.
