Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the theoretical effectiveness of public transport is offset by a lack of communication channels between the vehicle and its customers, preventing them from taking full advantage of the service
For example, a person waiting at a bus stop sees many buses passing in his direction, but cannot board them because either they do not stop at that stop, or he is not sure how to transfer, where, at what time to transfer

Embodiment Construction

[0043] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] figure 1 An illustrative transportation network 100 according to one embodiment of the invention is shown. The transportation network 100 shown is a bus network, but those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention is also applicable to other types of transportation networks.

[0045] In the transportation network 100, there are a number of public transport means, in this case a number of buses V1-V7. As stated earlier, in the context of the present invention, a public transport means is a vehicle designed to carry a large number of people, such as a bus or a tram.

[0046] A plurality of buses V1-V7 travel along a plurality of respective predetermined routes R1-R7. In the network shown, the scheduled routes R1-R7 are arranged in a grid and none of the scheduled routes R1-R7 overlap: in a real traffic network, it is expected t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a mass transport system and to a method of providing transportation. In the disclosed method and system, a route using mass transport resources is planned for a user in response to a request for transportation and the user is informed of the planned route. The system subsequently tracks the progress of the user along the planned route and optimizes the planned route in real-time. The invention enables the provision of transportation services using mass transport resources combining efficiency in the use of the mass transport resources and convenience for the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a route planning method in a public transportation system, a control device for a public transportation system, a personal device suitable for operation in a public transportation system and a method of use thereof. Background technique [0002] There is often a need to transport people around an area, typically around a town or city. Currently, transportation needs are usually met by a network of buses and / or trams, along with taxis. However, these systems all have disadvantages in providing a public transportation system. [0003] Existing transportation networks often suffer from the disadvantage that users experience long and unknown waiting times. Additionally, real-time or near-real-time information about vehicle schedules and locations is often not available to users. [0004] In addition, in the case that the user needs to use two or more vehicles to complete the journey, the user can plan a locally optimized...
