Urban transport improvement by establishing intelligent public transport system

Abstract

Public transport has many obvious advantages compared with private transport. Giving priority to the development of urban public transport system is the best way to solve the traffic problems in large and medium cities. In recent years, Intelligent Public Transport System (IPTS) has become the main researching direction of public transport. Applying GIS to the intelligent construction and management of public transport system in China is one of the important means to improve the efficiency and attractiveness of public transport. Combining the research and construction achievements of the existing intelligent public transport, the architecture of the intelligent public transport system was analysed in this paper. Besides, the functions of each subsystem of the intelligent public transport system were studied one by one.
