摘要

Bus and subway service is an important public transportation. Besides the major goal of carryingrnpassengers around, providing accurate and reliable travel information for passengers is alsornan important business consideration. The route and its traveling time can directly affect the numberrnof people choosing the line. Traditional approaches to obtain route and its traveling time relyrnon historical experience, which are both non-scalable and incomplete. The wide adoptions of OnrnBoardUnits (OBUs) in public transportationprovidenewopportunities. In this paper,weassociaternbus GPS data with station locations to derive the traveling time between two stations and makerna short forecast. To our best knowledge, this is the first paper that utilizes real-time bus GPS datarnand subway arrival station data to design route and give its traveling time for a passenger.
