Unscheduled Public Transport Intelligent Navigation System

This paper tackles the problem of searching unscheduled public transport fast routes for Mexico City proposing as solution a Public Transport Navigation System (PTNS) for mobile devices. The intelligent system proposed in this work finds fast public transport routs to a destination by using a search algorithm with a knowledge based time dependent heuristic. This heuristic captures the knowledge of public transport expert users and combines it with data given by transport companies to find the fastest routes available. The algorithm generates an estimated time of arrival (ETA) and finds the best rout in less than 10 seconds.
