Methodology in the development of an online ticketing system as a part of the presented Web GIS based APTS is presented in this paper. It is assumed that the availability of internet in running buses can be ensured by the use of available off-the-shelf technologies. Thus an online ticketing system can be developed, which has capability to perform the ticketing operations through internet on a designed web based system. Further the aforesaid designed web based system for ticketing can also update the real-time ticketing data and subsequently the available seats inside the bus to the central database in a real time scenario. It is also assumed that the running buses are having Global Positioning Systems (G.RS.) receivers installed with the onboard system and the designed web based ticketing system updates the vehicle location data i.e. the longitude and latitude data to the central database after receiving the same from the G.P.S. receiver. This vehicle location data can be used for the development of the Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS) for showing the real time bus position over a spatial map. |
