Bus Data Overview
us pera ng a erns Patterns revenue based bus trips with unique series of timepoints
NJT bus network consists of 2400+ patterns
ata eveope t ru eo e a ransportaton anager ntergrap nc.
Derived from schedule extracts and route descriptions
Bus Stop Locations 19,500 stops positioned using GPS, statewide Orthophotography
Locations verified via field inspections and existing AVL programs
Pattern Stop Process Oracle based application combining Schedule/Bus Stop Inventory/GIS datasets to
generate bus stop sequences on all NJT operating patterns
Customized application developed by GeoDecisions, Inc.

customer service applications Stop description, lat/long, timepoint-stop associations, stop sequences, stopping distances, date
stamp
Stopping distances generated via linear referencing along pattern alignments registered toNavteq
Several sources linked to create a single data set:
Schedule (HASTUS/Oracle)
Bus stop inventory (NJT developed application in Oracle)
Pattern sto Process im lemented dail
Multiple programs linked to single dataset.
KEY rationale for integrated dataset!
