CrowdRoute: a crowd-sourced routing algorithm in public transit networks

Published:05 November 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

Most existing algorithms assume that public transit networks are static. However in reality, a bus may be delayed or canceled, which causes routing algorithms to generate non-optimal journeys. We propose CrowdRoute, an algorithm that exploits real-time information contributed by the crowd, to solve the earliest arrival problem in public transit networks.
