Desenvolvimento de um sistema para integração e consulta de rotas de ônibus intermunicipais

Abstract

This project describes the creation of a system that provides a way to verify intercity bus services of the Brazilian state Rio Grande do Sul. It was motivated by the lack of systems that provide this service in an efficient way. In the development of this project, a database was built through data extraction from the official sources, such as the bus stations websites. In addition to the creation of a simple way to view the data, a path search algorithm was applied to the data in order to find complex routes between two cities. This algorithm was made available using a web and a mobile interface. During this project, the creation of the database had the most challenges, where techniques to extract, validate and expand could be applied. In addition, the path search algorithm was analysed and updated in order to achieve a better performance and result qualities. The results of this project was a system called ÔnibusRS, which can be viewed on www.onibusrs.com.
