1. Introduction

• Web-based prototype
• What our application does?
• Origin bus stop
• Point of interest (hospitals, malls, cinemas
  etc.)
• Nearest bus stop from point of interest
• Route from point of interest to nearest bus stop
• Route from origin bus stop to destination bus
  stop
• Bus Number and Timing

4
2. Available spatial and non-spatial data

• A_C Bus Stop 2011 All route wise station names
• CityBus Time Sept 2010 Timing between stations
• Route Timing Time for New Mumbbai (3 Routes
  only)
• ACTimeTableApril 2012 Number of trips through
  out a day
• Ac Bus Stop.shp (BUSSTOP, ROUTE, XCORD, YCORD)
• Ac Bus Route.shp Road network for AC Buses
• Road.shp Road Network of Mumbai city
• Town Boundary.shp Outer Boundary with name
• POI.shp (LONG, LAT, Name, Category)
• Railway Line.shp

5
3. Data Modeling

• Directions
• Up and Down (Attribute Run)
• Truncated Routes
• Bus Stops
• Two Points on same locations
• Unique ID
• Bus Route
• Add attribute Name

6
3. Data Modeling

• Address Locator
• Convert textual description to location
• Why we need that?
• Different style available
• What if we dont give tolerance?
• Find Route tool (ArcGIS 10)
• Why we use it? What it returns?
• What we should have before using it?

3. Data Modeling

• Why Combination of three in Ref_ID?

3. Data Modeling

• Final GeoDatabase
• Making single shapefile
• Map Document
• Add required layers
• What about visibility?
• At least one network layer (Route, Closest
  Facility)

15
4. Uploading on ArcGIS Serve

• Type of services server provides
• Map service (.mxd)
• Geocode service (.loc)
• Geodata Service
• Geometry service (no GIS resource requires)
• Geoprocessing services (toolbox- .tbx)
• Image Service (For raster data)
• Search Service

16
4. Uploading on Server

• Three ways to upload service
• Enable capabilities like KML, Network Analysis,
  Mobile Data Access etc.
• Mapping will be default capability
• After successful upload you will get link
• http//gise-lab-int18399/arcgis/rest/services/Fin
  al/MapServer
• http//gise-lab-int18399/arcgis/rest/services/Fin
  al/NAServer/Route

5. Creating Web Application

• In built application in ArcGIS Server
• SOAP Services (Java, .NET)
• Server side development
• Lack of functionalities
• REST Services (JavaScript, Silverlight, Flex,
  Apex)
• Client side development
• Very popular

18
5. Creating Web Application

• DOJO Toolkit
• Dojo is an open source toolkit that helps you
  write robust and efficient JavaScript code
• The ESRI developers who created the ArcGIS
  JavaScript API used Dojo to simplify their
  development
• dojo.require("esri.map") (which is minimum)
• Why not Jquery?

7. Conclusion

• Closest facility and shortest route is working
  fine but still there are some drawbacks
• Only 10 facilities have been added (total 420
  stops)
• Browser compatibility in JavaScript
• Complex Queries
• Identifying closest facility
• Because of decimal numbers
• Cant do reverse geocoding too
• Route Number

30
8. Future Expansion

• New Programming language
• Flex has highest number of examples available
• Mobile Compatibility
• For iOS
• Enable mobile data access
• Change view port
• Change of bus feature
