Smart Public Transportation Sensing: Enhancing Perception and Data Management for Efficient and Safety Operations.

The use of cloud computing, big data, IoT, and mobile applications in the public transportation industry has resulted in the generation of vast and complex data, of which the large data volume and data variety have posed several obstacles to effective data sensing and processing with high efficiency in a real-time data-driven public transportation management system. To overcome the above-mentioned challenges and to guarantee optimal data availability for data sensing and processing in public transportation perception, a public transportation sensing platform is proposed to collect, integrate, and organize diverse data from different data sources. The proposed data perception platform connects multiple data systems and some edge intelligent perception devices to enable the collection of various types of data, including traveling information of passengers and transaction data of smart cards. To enable the efficient extraction of precise and detailed traveling behavior, an efficient field-level data lineage exploration method is proposed during logical plan generation and is integrated into the FlinkSQL system seamlessly. Furthermore, a row-level fine-grained permission control mechanism is adopted to support flexible data management. With these two techniques, the proposed data management system can support efficient data processing on large amounts of data and conducts comprehensive analysis and application of business data from numerous different sources to realize the value of the data with high data safety. Through operational testing in real environments, the proposed platform has proven highly efficient and effective in managing organizational operations, data assets, data life cycle, offline development, and backend administration over a large amount of various types of public transportation traffic data.

MULTI-CRITERIA OPTIMIZATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT ON DEMAND

With economic development, we are witnessing a high intensity of road traffic in general and especially public transport in particular. Unfortunately, this situation has negative environmental and economic consequences in the urban environment. To remedy this, several research have been made to optimize this type of transport. In this paper, we propose an optimal public transport management system which minimizes different criteria including travel distance, vehicle service time and safety obstacles (radius of curvature of turns and degree of slopes). The application of our model on different datasets gives better results compared to other works.

IoT system architecture for monitoring and analyzing public transport data

The crucial role of public transport in the economy and modern city development is widely acknowledged. However, contemporary public transport systems are confronted with several challenges that require resolution. These challenges include real-time monitoring, data management, passengers flow optimization, and road accident prediction. The Internet of Things (IoT) presents a promising avenue for the development of modern public transport management systems. By leveraging a diverse range of technologies, such as sensors, edge devices, cloud computing, and various communication infrastructures, IoT systems can enable the creation of robust and automated public transport infrastructure. In this research, we propose an architecture for a public transport monitoring and management system. The proposed system can effectively collect, store, and monitor public transport data, thereby facilitating efficient management and timely response to risks that arise in the transport system. Implementation of such a system would enable public transport administrators to monitor and swiftly respond to potential problems such as overloaded passenger flows, emergencies, and technical issues with transport systems.

IoT System for Monitoring and Managing Public Transport Data

Public transport has a significant role in the economy and modern city development. Today, public transport systems face many problems which should be solved, like real-time monitoring, data management, passengers flow optimization and road accident prediction. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising technology for the development of the modern public transport management system. IoT systems combine a wide range of technologies, such as sensors, edge devices, and cloud computing. Also as well as many communication infrastructures which can be applied to develop robust and automated public transport systems. The transfer of information from devices to the cloud is the most important part of an IoT system. All devices should use network standards and protocols to allow physical objects to interact with each other and the cloud. Information transfer from IoT devices to the cloud is only possible if devices are securely connected to a communication network. Network protocols and standards are policies that comprise certain rules that define communication between two or more devices over the network. This article aims to evaluate the possibilities of using IoT for monitoring and managing public transport data in modern Ukrainian realities. Specifically, in this study, we analyze general industry protocols and standards that are used by IoT devices and meet requirements like bandwidth, latency, and power consumption. This work describes a specific device that transmits information from a transport unit to the cloud. Lastly, this paper proposes an IoT system architecture for the public transport data monitoring and management system.

An Object-Oriented-Based Design for Urban Public Transportation Management Systems

With the rapid development of Internet, it has been an important channel to access, publish and deliver information. Apparently, Internet has been a part of social life. However, our urban public transportation management systems still require to be improved. There are few methods available for people to search public transport routes. The most popular method is asking people or searching on a transportation map. An urban public transportation management system allows people to search public transport routes through Internet easily and conveniently. By collecting stop information on the routes, people can make a better travel plan before leaving home. The main module in the system is the transportation query module, the functionalities of which include route query, stop query, and station-to-station query, and station query; while the management module deals with operation processing on tables, such as insertion, modification and deletion, and responses to questions in guest books.
