Interactive Visualization for Real-time Public Transport Journey Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
On-line journey planners encourage the use of public transport systems by easing the task of finding “optimal” routes between start and destination locations. Most of the tools lack the flexibility of comparing journeys that end at different (but maybe nearby) destinations. In this paper, we propose a novel visualization tool for public transport journey planning that integrates graph layout techniques to allow visual comparison of travel time and journey directions. Our tool uses data from the bus system of Konstanz. Taking this data as example, use cases describe the tool’s applicability to trip planning with route alternatives.

A Decision Support System for Urban Journey Planning in Multimodal Public Transit Network
The goal of this paper is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) as a journey planner in complex and large multimodal urban network called Rahyar. Rahyar attempts to identify the most desirable itinerary among all feasible alternatives. The desirability of an itinerary is measured by a disutility function, which is defined as a weighted sum of some criteria. The weight...

In this paper, we describe ROSE (Routing Service), an application for mobile phones, which suggests the user events and locations and guides him to them, using the public transport system. It determines the best possible transport link and accompanies passengers throughout their entire journey. Further, it reacts in real time to delays in the public transport system and calculates alternative r...
متن کاملA GIS-Based Approach to Real-Time Open Space Visualization
Visualizations have always been a technique for planners to communicate their ideas. Today’s computer-generated visualizations and models are increasingly involved in environmental and spatial planning processes. These methods are used to achieve an improved knowledge of spatial structures and phenomena. Moreover they are used to communicate projects to the public, stakeholders and decision mak...
متن کاملFine grained traffic state estimation and visualization
Tools for visualizing the current traffic state are used by local authorities for strategic monitoring of the traffic network and by everyday users for planning their journey. Popular visualizations include those provided by Google maps and by Inrix. Both employ a “traffic light” colour coding system where roads on a map are coloured green if traffic is flowing normally and red or black if ther...
