Visualizing Space-Time Map for Bus

Abstract

Current bus maps are created by tracing ground trajectories of bus routes on available base maps. These bus maps provide with the spatial information of ground trajectories and bus stops; some websites have associated departure time table with each ground trajectory on the map. It is considered that bus users need not only spatial but also temporal information. This paper integrates visualization with temporal geography to represent spatio-temporal data of bus network as a visualized-space-time bus map. The visualized-space-time bus map displays visually the movement data of bus as graphs of bus routes and bus trips on screen. The graphs are classified as visual classes according to their attributes. The visual features of the graphs are enhanced by integrating graph classes with retinal variables. The visualized-space-time bus map enables users to analyze visually the spatio-temporal data of bus network for their travels.
