The Hanover Transport Computer is an On-Vehicle computer system running an embedded version
of Linux. It is used to perform Automatic Vehicle Location in order to display images and play audio.
It also has GPRS capabilities allowing for external systems to receive information about the vehicle

Passengers waiting to board vehicles at roadside stop shelters can be informed of the expected

We require an Arrival Time Estimation module to be written to run on the HTC device and to report

Gyroscope if present) and the known path of the Vehicle to estimate the duration of time it will take
for the
