Abstract:
Building public route transportation system is
the key technology for urban areas. Most of citizens in
Yangon area make use of public transportation such as
bus, taxi, rail and so on. In this system, A* algorithm is
used to find the bus route information in Yangon
downtown area. Bus routes, bus information, bus stops
and their related position, latitude/longitude and road
names are stored in spatial database. When the users
want to know the bus route information, firstly they
give their current location and desired destination to
the system and then the related bus routes are retrieved
from database. After getting the bus routes, A*
algorithm is used to calculate the optimal path.
Finally, all of the possible routes are display on the
map. OpenStreetmap is usedto create as base map in
this paper.
