Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel search system for city public transportation. This system collects the bus timetable information from Aizu bus home page, the city information from Internet, and the public facilities map of Aizu-Wakamatsu city, to generate geographic data by using Google Maps API. Multiple search methods are developed to obtain the information that users are interested in. One of the search results can be set as the origin or destination of a bus route. The shortest bus route with the minimum number of bus stops between the origin and destination can be found by using the bus routing function. The search results and the shortest bus route are visualized on the embed Google map(interactively). The search detailed information are shown in the side-bar. Since this system finds city information with bus route, residents and visitors can utilize the city public transportation more efficiently for their daily life, business, and travel planners.
