Today, Sentosa offers its guests more excitement and fun-filled activities than ever before. We continue to dedicate ourselves to providing a platform for everyone to play and bond with friends and loved ones, and so we were delighted to see more than 20 million visitors grace us with their presence on Sentosa in the course of a year. To mark the island’s 40th year, we threw a slew of parties and activities to encourage Singaporeans and our foreign visitors to play on the island, while reliving their Sentosa experiences of yesteryear. For starters, we created a nostalgic exhibition that included a mural of photos contributed by our guests, sharing family pictures in our old monorail train and at the ferry terminal, the Musical Fountain and Fantasy Island. On 1 September 2012, we celebrated the island’s 40th birthday by throwing open our doors with free island admission for guests.

  • 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.
