Tracer Trails Urban Transport System of the City of Villahermosa: Case of Transbus

Abstract

The city of Villahermosa, considered the gateway to southern Mexico, has experienced growth due to the economic activities of the region. This growth has not been based on an urban development plan where a suitable system of streets and avenues is contemplated, which impacts the service of the public transportation system, which consists of the mass transit system urban (vans), the rental car service (taxis), Transbus system (with routes within the city) and Transmetropolitano system (covering the metropolitan area of the city). According to the above, it is necessary to have an application support to determine the transfer of a part of the city to another in an efficient and intuitive way. The proposed tool (in the first phase only Transbus system) makes use of the PRM (Probabilistic Road Map) and Dijkstra algorithm to find a path Shuttle routes Transbus using interfaces in his version of HTML 5, jQuery, CSS and GoogleMaps, having the ability to adapt to different screen sizes of devices, thus enhancing the ways in which the user can have the tool.
