Managing Public Transport Safety Using Digital Technologies

Integrating and publishing public safety data using semantic technologies

Information on public safety is important to organized society for a number of reasons: First, citizens can use such records to identify risks in their communities. This can influence their short-term decisions (whether to visit a certain place or not) or long-term decisions, (such as whether to buy a house in a particular neighborhood). Second, government officials can use records on public sa...

Towards Underlying Radio Technologies for LTE Based Public Safety Networks

Public Safety Networks (PSNs) have been recognized as the key to a successful response to emergency and disaster situations. Recently, the 3GPP-LTE cellular networks open possibilities to enhance public safety services. To position the current LTE to meet the requirements of the evolution of PSNs, this paper proposes an approach to investigates the two key radio technologies, i.e., device-to-de...

Public Transport Ontology for Passenger Information Retrieval

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...

A Digital Ecosystem For Optimizing Service Reliability In Public Transport

Automatic vehicle location (AVL) and automatic passenger counting (APC) systems can generate a huge quantity and variety of operational, spatial, and temporal data. This potentially allows the discovery of new ways to enhance service quality and transport efficiency by utilizing AVL-APC inputs. There is currently no framework for implementing full service quality improvement cycles from automat...
