Abstract

As a new paradigm of information technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is attracting increasing attention from various industrial fields. It is foreseeable that the applications of IoT will be prevalent in the public transportation system and bring changes to the system in the near future. In this paper, we analyze the impact of IoT environment on the public transportation system, propose a new framework of the intelligent public transportation system based on IoT, and present the deployment of the elements, the communication network, and the three-tier architecture of the system in detail. We also present the information flow, technical scheme, optimization model, and algorithm of the main modules of dynamic optimization of the system. The innovative points of this paper lie in: (1) a new framework for public transport system based on IoT, which integrates the scheduling problems of subway, bus, and shared taxi, is proposed for better-coordinated transfer solutions; (2) transport flow prediction methods based on periodic patterns mining is proposed for road flow analysis and passenger flow analysis, and; (3) mathematical model and DSS-based evolutionary computation algorithm are proposed for solving the dynamic bus scheduling and controlling problems. The proposed intelligent transport system based on IoT can assist the decision makers to increase the utilization rate of the transport resources, improve the efficiency of scheduling, and reduce passengers' traveling time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
