Bus Management Information System |
Well designed geospatial information systems can be used to make detailed information on all bus routes, bus stop locations, hours of operation and service frequencies easily available. This beautifully represented data may be used to serve both city council as well as citizens.
Some might say that geospatial information is best applied to bus routes. The features and benefits of a bus MIS are :
- This GIS can be used to test the bus system's adherence to schedules and to check scheduling efficiency.
- Regional travel demand analyses and forecasts can be generated.
- Information from this system can be used to identify complex transit paths and thus improve scheduling to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
- Abstract bus routes can be aggregated and poorly functioning routes removed.
- A geospatial information system of bus routes, stops and frequencies can also facilitate
database integration with other transportation-specific applications.
- This system provides information on adjacent locations in the proximity of bus stops, which may be useful for planning the location of new bus stops.
- A user friendly system allows citizens to obtain information on bus routes, frequencies and stops as well as all adjoining bus routes and stops; this facilitates journey planning.
- Since this database is managed by a programme, it's easy to keep up to date.
- Assessing the quality of buses, bus stops and other infrastructure and assigning of upgrade or maintenance works is easy to monitor with a bus information system.
