  • Explore: an Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning
    Explore: An Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning Explore: An Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning Kari Edison Watkins, Brian Ferris, and G. Scott Rutherford University of Washington Abstract Publishing information about a transit agency’s stops, routes, schedules, and status in a variety of formats and delivery methods is an essential part of improving the usabil- ity of a transit system and the satisfaction of a system’s riders. A key staple of most transit traveler information systems is the trip planner, a tool that serves travelers well if the both origin and destination are known. However, sometimes the availabil- ity of transit at a location is more important than the actual destination. Given this premise, we developed an Attractions Search Tool to make use of an underlying trip planner to search online databases of local restaurants, shopping, parks and other amenities based on transit availability from the user’s origin. The ability to perform such a search by attraction type rather than specific destination can be a powerful aid to a traveler with a need or desire to use public transportation. Background Publishing information about a transit agency’s stops, routes, schedules, and status in a variety of formats and delivery methods is an essential part of improving the ease of use of a transit system and the satisfaction of a system’s riders. No longer the domain of just simple printed schedules, transit traveler information systems have grown to include route maps and timetables, trip planners, real-time track- ers, service alerts, and others tools made available across cell phones, web brows- ers, and new Internet devices as driven by rider demand (Multisystems 2003).

  • Design and Development of an Application for Predicting Bus Travel Times Using a Segmentation Approach
    Design and Development of an Application for Predicting Bus Travel Times using a Segmentation Approach Ankhit Pandurangi, Clare Byrne, Candis Anderson, Enxi Cui and Gavin McArdle School of Computer Science, University College Dublin, Belfield, Ireland Keywords: Travel Time Prediction, Bus Transport, Spatial Data, Machine Learning. Abstract: Public transportation applications today face a unique challenge: Providing easy-to-use and intuitive design, while at the same time giving the end user the most updated and accurate information possible. Applications often sacrifice one for the other, finding it hard to balance the two. Furthermore, accurately predicting travel times for public transport is a non-trivial task. Taking factors such as traffic, weather, or delays into account is a complex challenge. This paper describes a data driven analysis approach to resolve this problem by using machine learning to estimate the travel time of buses and places the results in a user-friendly application. In particular, this paper discusses a predictive model which estimates the travel time between pairs of bus stops. The approach is validated using data from the bus network in Dublin, Ireland. While the evaluation of the predictive models show that journey segment predictions are less accurate than the prediction of a bus route in full, the segmented approach gives the user more flexibility in planning a journey. 1 INTRODUCTION easy to use application. Static journey predictions are common. These provide a simple estimated travel Due to its importance in trip and route planning, travel time for each route. This can be produced based on time prediction has a long history and has been con- a single average of all travel times.

Prepared by: David Warburton, Chief Executive Corporate Finance A schedule of additional Capital Budget for projects deferred from 2015/16 to 2016/17 has been submitted to AC for approval. Only projects which have legitimately been excluded from the already approved 2016/17 Capital Budget and are carried forward from the 2015/16 schedule have been included. Special projects, mostly associated with the Council managed infrastructure growth fund, have been deferred for the two years into 2017/18. Regional Land Transport Programme (RLTP) Funding During July, the following projects were approved for funding: • SuperGold Card Allocation – this activity has been approved for $15.3 million for the 2016/17 allocation (100% from the National Land Transport Fund); and • Auckland Cycle Network - Links to Public Transport (Detailed Business Case) – this activity has been approved for $475,000 ($85,000 from the Urban Cycleway Programme Fund and $198,900 from the National Land Transport Fund). Page 1 of 35 Board Meeting | 30 August 2016 Agenda Item no.9 Open Session SuperGold Card There are currently 104,819 Blue AT HOP cards with SG concessions and Gold AT HOP cards in circulation. It was anticipated that approximately 90,000 cards would need to be swapped out by 1 July. Penetration of AT HOP for SuperGold has increased from 54% on 23 May when the campaign went live, to 95.5% for the last week of August. A grace period until the middle of August has been communicated to transition remaining customers.

  • Safer Journey Planner
    Driving for work: Safer journey planner Produced with the support of the Department for Transport riving is the most dangerous work activity that most people do. It is estimated that around 150 people are killed or seriously injured every week in crashes involving someone who was driving, riding or otherwise using the road for work purposes. The majority of these tragedies can be Dprevented. HSE Guidelines, ”Driving at Work”, state that “health and safety law applies to on-the-road work activities as to all work activities and the risks should be effectively managed within a health and safety system”. Therefore, employers must assess the risks involved in their staff’s use of the road for work and put in place all ‘reasonably practicable’ measures to manage those risks. This guide gives simple advice on how employers and line managers can help to ensure that the organisation’s road journeys are properly planned and completed safely. This applies to all at-work drivers (e.g. sales staff, managers driving to meetings) and not just professional LGV and PCV drivers. What employers should do: Prevent driver sleepiness One of the most important things employers must do is ensure that their drivers are not at risk of falling asleep at the wheel. Thousands of crashes are caused by tired drivers. They are most likely to happen: on long journeys on monotonous roads, such as motorways between 2am and 6am between 2pm and 4pm (especially after eating, or taking even one alcoholic drink) after having less sleep than normal after drinking alcohol

  • Personalized Journey Planner
    Artem Golovin Personalized Journey Planner Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Degree Information Technology Bachelor of Engineering Thesis 15 April 2016 Author(s) Artem Golovin Title Personalized Journey Planner Number of Pages 42 pages + 0 appendices Date 15 April 2016 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Information Technology Specialisation option Web Programming Instructor(s) Olli Alm, Senior Lecturer The goal of the GoAbout project was to build a personalized journey planner based on OpenTripPlanner, OpenStreetMap and a custom back end. The project aimed to implement personalization options to provide the best possible experience. The planner is mainly intended to be used in the Netherlands, however, it is based on open source solutions such as: OpenTripPlanner as a planning and routing solution, OpenStreetMaps as a map provider and ns.nl as a transit feed provider. It utilizes all three sources into one piece and puts a layer of personalization on top. The project can be adjusted for nearly any country which uses well-defined standards such as General Transit Feed Specification. The planner support user profiles and records user activity which is later used to suggest more relevant results. Also the project allows users to set their own or preferred types of transport and to filter out irrelevant options. The planner remembers previously made choices and adjusts new routes based on these choices. The main focus was on the personalization options within web application. It also consists of back end and a few other different front ends such as mobile applications and publicly placed touchscreens. The result is a ready to use ecosystem of products which allows users to plan routes in advance, check previously planned routes at any time in the future and to base new routes on the already planned ones.
