The national public transport“Dakar Dem Dikk” (DDD) owns an active automobile fleet of approximately 675 buses in order to provide interurban transport and run a shuttle between Dakar region toAIBD airport. Nevertheless,DDD operates 24 lines with roughly 100 buses per day for $120,000$ passengers. The lack of punctuality and the amount of time wasted at bus stops are a big concern. The existing information system, calledDDDT (“Dakar Dem Dikk Tracking”) based on Short Message Service (SMS) requests can predict only bus position with respect to a number of remaining bus stop. Nevertheless,DDDT is not scalable due to the huge number of sent SMS as well as their cost price. Therefore, we propose a new fleet buses management based on web mapping technology and Internet connectivity. In contrast to previous DDDT architecture, the communication between target passengers and the system is based by default on $3 G$. Each passenger is able in real time through a mobile application or a navigator to plan its trip and get updated schedule information. Furthermore,DDD staff can monitor the overall network from a dashboard that depicts buses in motion.
