Abstract:
|
Public transport is a part of the contemporary urban model. In Vietnam, the
bus system is re-established a few years ago. At the same time, some maps have been
published for helping the bus passengers. But these maps are still lacked of rich contents
and useful functionalities.
With the aim to improving the effectiveness of Hanoi public transport system, the authors
have applied GIS technology for developing an information system of Hanoi bus. A logical
model of the bus network consisting of 2 sub-networks and 5 cost attributes has been
designed. This model serves as a basis for developing a bus geodatabase with 5 feature
classes. For managing the geodatabase, a set of tools extending the capabilities of ArcGIS
software via COM (Component Object Model) interface has been created.
The developed information system has very useful functionalities: supplying information
about bus stop and bus lines with illustrated photos, searching for streets and specific
objects, finding the fastest path by bus between places in the city,... These functionalities will
help the bus passengers, especially those in the city for the first time, to be orientated in the
complicated Hanoi bus network. |
