Design of geographic information system for tracking and routing using Dijkstra algorithm for public transportation

Abstract

The ability to perform vehicle tracking is very useful in daily life - today, such as security on personal vehicles, public transportation systems, fleet management and other mass transit. In this study, we designed an application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that will be applied to public transport services. This system provides real-time position tracking of each vehicle (taxi) and capable of providing a taxi with the best category for passengers using Dijkstra's algorithm. This system can be helpful, especially for passengers who are often too long waiting for a taxi that had been booked and also helps the driver to save fuel consumption because the taxi drivers do not have to drive across town to get the passengers and are just waiting for confirmation sent by this system.
