Motivation
• Public transportation provides many societal benefits
• Madison’s public transportation system is confusing to use– Lead to underutilization
![Page 3: Mapping Bus line 85 Michael Alexander Hoklan Hau](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b497f8b9ab0599a4a1e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hypothesis
• By making navigation of the city of Madison’s bus service more accessible, we can increase participation

Methods
• Equipment– 3 handheld GPS recievers (Garmin etrex)– Digital Camera– GPS Software and PC
• Fieldwork– 3 waypoints for each bus stop – 5 min at each waypoint– Photo of each bus stop

Methods Cont.
• Data Analysis– Data download– Matlab
• Average coordinates• Statistics and error calculations
• Google Maps Integration– Import waypoints– Photo-tagging– Interactive timetable

Project Specification
• Absolute Accuracy of 6m– Bus usually stops within ~6m of sign– Rte. Markers usually within plain sight
• Interactive Google Map– Route– Picture– Timetable link

Results
• Average Error: 5.24m• Outlier: Lake and Langdon
– Error: 330.59m– Visual Inspection revealed two waypoints at a
considerable distance from ground position

Conclusions
• Needed more waypoints and follow-up measurements to increase accuracy
• Allot more time to fieldwork• Silver Etrex is better and easier than yellow

Future Work
• Map all bus stops in Madison• Integrate with online timetable search
– Bus Stop IDs in metadata– Algorithm for directions / transfers
• Look at bus users before and after interactive bus map
