Abstract
Abstract     The world is witnessing at this time a dramatic evolution in various fields of technology. Engineers work everywhere on implementing real life technologies to increase human well-being and solve real daily problems to serve and protect the humans from threats and risks. The world suffers from major problems. And one of these problems are the problems that faced the public transportation companies, such as many buses does not follow the custom way for it, also the passengers do not know what the bus stops stations and names. So our goals are to locate each bus in service and sent its position directly to the main office of the buses, and to put an liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen to display the current position of the bus on its route and next bus stop name, in addition the LCD will be used to display different information; it can be general publicity or news.            The goal of ''Real Time Vehicle Tracking and Broadcasting Publicity'' project is to reduce the problems facing the transportation system in Palestine, particularly the public bus Transportation Companies. One of the most important problems is the inability to locate the bus and find out if the bus in the custom way or not at a specific time, also our system will add more features to the transportation system.  The objective of the project is to determine the bus geographical current locations (longitude, and Latitude); using GPS module to capture the current location of the bus, then periodically the bus location will be sent to a central office using either SMS or GPRS, where such information will be collected and used to plot the buses current locations and their distributions on the map i.e. by using Google maps, these information will be used to manage the bus network to have better clients services.   Moreover, the vehicle will have an LCD screen to display the current position of the bus on its route and next bus stop name. in addition, the LCD will be used to display different information; it can be general publicity or news, the publicity and news will be displayed based on the information sent to the vehicles via SMS/GPRS technology. In Our project we use some electronic devices to work together alternately, in order to help us to obtain the desired results.       Because the needed of such microcontroller in our project; the Arduino UNO will be our main devise, moreover, the result will not obtain without using of Global System for Mobile/General Packet Radio Service (GSM/GPRS) module, so the module that we will use is  (SM5100B). Also, GPS is one of the most important pillars underpinning our project, so the (GPS-11058) module will used in our project..    all the devices that we mention about need to an LCD to show it's result, which it will be the final device in our project.
