| Summary: | This research reports the study of
identification and
d
etermination
of
bus stop
locations
and passengers boarding
and alighting positions
through the application of G
lobal
P
ositioning
S
ystem (GPS)
and
Geographical
I
nformati
on
S
ystem (GIS)
method
s
.
Previously, the location
s
of bus stop were designed without
much
consideration to the access and egress points of prospective passengers and other users.
Using the case study of
public bus operation
in
Kerian
, Perak
,
a district in
Malaysia
, GPS
method
captured
the locational
points
during
on
-
board survey
s
while the
GIS
method produced the
points
mapping
. As a result,
the
possible bus stop locations
can be
recorded and validated based on the passengers access and egrees points and vo
lume pattern
s
. This
research aims to analyse
these empirical data to estimate the possible location of new bus stops within certain
distance ratio
s
. From this findings, public
bus operators and authorities can
determine/allocate/distribute
the bus
stop loc
ations that
may reduce the waiting time
