    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Estimating public bus arrival times and delivering accurate arrival time information to&lt;br&gt;
passengers are critical for making public transportation more user-friendly and thereby&lt;br&gt;
increasing its competitiveness among various forms of transportation. However public bus&lt;br&gt;
arrival time prediction remains major bottlenecks With traffic heterogeneity in composition and&lt;br&gt;
diversity of vehicles, as well as a big pedestrian population combined with inadequate lane use,&lt;br&gt;
predicting the arrival time of public buses at stations is a severe concern.. The main objective of&lt;br&gt;
this study is to apply machine learning algorithms to predict bus arrival time. The data was&lt;br&gt;
collected from Addis Ababa Sheger Public Bus Transport. Random Forest, Gradient Boosting,&lt;br&gt;
Artificial Neural Network, K-Nearest Neighbors and Support Vector Machine algorithms are&lt;br&gt;
applied to build the models and to compare and choose the best model to predict the bus arrival&lt;br&gt;
time. After selecting the features and algorithms, different data preprocessing tasks like checking&lt;br&gt;
outliers, missing values and data reduction are done. Finally, 140,000 instances of dataset are&lt;br&gt;
used to train and build the model&lt;/p&gt;</description>
