Resumo(s)
The octilinear schematic map, layout recognized worldwide in metro maps, is an
important transit informative tool. This research investigates how algorithms for the
visualization of schematic maps can be availed in mobile web devices context in
order to empower the efficiency in transmitting information of bus transit maps. A
genetic algorithm for path octilinear schematization technique has been used and
tested to create the schematic data. Location-based and interactivity functionalities
were embedded to the resulting digital maps in order to create personalized maps to
meet specific user needs. A prototype of a web application and real transit data of the
city of Castellón in Spain was used to test the methodology. The results have shown
that real time schematizations open possibilities concerning usability that add extra
value to schematic transit maps. Additionally, suggested improvements have been
made to the genetic algorithm and performance tests show that genetic algorithms are
adequate, in terms of efficiency, to sketch bus transit maps automatically.
