Abstract

The multimodal trip planning system (MTPS) described in this paper can efficiently identify reasonable journeys. Our methodologies could be implemented in future transit trip information systems. An effective MTPS would be of value to transit agencies or administrators due to the large number of different yet related characteristics of the transit network. In Taiwan, no successful MTPS exists owing to the fact that there are many intercity transit options, including airlines, ships, intercity buses, rail, high-speed rail, local buses, and mass rapid transit. The purpose of this study is to develop an MTPS that will ensure that transit stops are accurately sequenced and integrated into appropriate route patterns, including schedule and route data, as well as intermodal transfer locations and multi-agency transit center walking directions. The MTPS will provide landmark-to-landmark journey planning for transit users. We combine a data structure and multimodal trip planning algorithm in the MTPS that can swiftly propose reasonable travel plans. Finally, we develop a transit trip planning system for Taiwan.
