At present, arrival time information service and security supervision of public transit vehicles have become a hot issue of society and government departments. In this paper, a system for notifying passengers waiting for buses of the status of the vehicles, including the arrival times of vehicles at stops, is proposed. The system includes GPS devices located in the vehicles for determining the location of the vehicles along their routes. A server is coupled to the GPS devices for receiving the locations of vehicles, computing the arrival times of vehicles based on history data model, and publishing the information on website using RESTful API. Experiments on real datasets show that the system is a powerful tool for arrival time prediction of public transit vehicles.
