Visualizing Public Transportation Arrivals
نویسنده
چکیده
Public transportation time schedules are often littered with extraneous data irrelevant to passengers who only seek the next immediate arrival. We explore how the inclusion of visual encodings in time schedules allows users to easily identify and determine the fastest routes to their destinations. We present this solution in the form of a visualization system in which users select their point of origin and are then presented with a visualization of upcoming arrivals at that particular station. We report the results of user studies of our system, observing the complementary role of information visualization towards human comprehension of these time schedules. Author

متن کاملAnalysis of unreliable bulk queue with statedependent arrivals
In this paper, we investigate a single-server Poisson input queueing model, wherein arrivals of units are in bulk. The arrival rate of the units is state dependent, and service time is arbitrary distributed. It is also assumed that the system is subject to breakdown, and the failed server immediately joins the repair facility which takes constant duration to repair the server. By using suppl...
