This research mainly focuses on optimizing the transportation system in King Abdulaziz University (KAU) girls' campus by designing an autonomous robotic golf cart. The quality of any research would be promoted by conducting in-depth literature review in the domain. Hence, this research begins with a review to investigate similar artifacts (robotic cart and the ways of displaying the arrival time for the cart) that are relevant to the work. It is divided into six parts which are: autonomous mobile robots, the types of microcontrollers boards that are used in the robotic field, the types of alerts, the types of sensors that are used in autonomous mobile robot to move on track and avoid the object, the ways of displaying the arrival time schedule and the connection ways. The detailed survey on the above mentioned six areas are conducted and the results are discussed in terms of the techniques and the resources used, the methodology followed, the merits and de-merits of the work, and the implementation details with the problems faced. Thus, the widely-used approaches suitable for the automated transportation system are studied and analyzed thoroughly in this literature, in order to provide directions for academicians and researchers for further work
